Method of Operation

• AGROGENT features a novel chemistry molecule, showcasing a distinctive mode of action.

• It disrupts nerve impulse transmission by inhibiting Gamma Amino Butyric Acid (GABA)-gated chloride channels in the central nervous system.

• The obstruction of chloride ion passage/uptake results in heightened neuronal stimulation.

• This hyperexcitation of nerves and muscles in insects ultimately leads to the demise of the target insect.

How and When to Apply 

• The granule form of AGROGENT is ideally applied at the recommended dosage, either broadcasted alone or in conjunction with sand or fertilizer.

• Application methods include broadcasting with a hand-operated granule applicator or a mechanical dispenser.

• For paddy fields, apply within 15-25 days after transplanting, with the field containing 2-3 cm of standing water. Maintain water impoundment for 2-3 days during application.

• In sugarcane and wheat, ensure ample soil moisture during the application process
