Description:

AGRIVENTURE PYMETRO is a highly selective systemic and translaminar insecticide primarily used to control sap-sucking pests like aphids, whiteflies, and plant hoppers. It works by disrupting the insect's nervous system, permanently stopping its feeding mechanism so it eventually dies of starvation.

Technical content:  Pymetrozine 50% WG

Key Features & Benefits:

• Unique Mode of Action: Disrupts the insect's nervous system and blocks feeding signals, causing pests to immediately stop feeding and eventually die from starvation.
• Systemic & Translaminar Action: The formulation is absorbed rapidly and translocates throughout the plant, meaning it controls hidden or underside pests and protects new growth.
• Anti-Fecundity Effect: It sterilizes adult insects and limits egg-laying. This stops the next generation of pests and prevents sudden population flare-ups (resurgence).
• Safe for Beneficial Insects: Highly selective towards targeted sucking pests, causing little to no harm to beneficial insects like ladybugs and natural predators.
• IPM Friendly: Because it leaves natural predators unharmed, it integrates seamlessly into Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs.
• Excellent Rainfastness: Once absorbed into the plant tissues (typically within 2 hours of application), it remains effective even if it rains shortly after spraying.
• Virus Vector Control: By stopping sucking pests in their tracks, it significantly limits the spread of critical crop viruses (e.g., Tungro virus in rice).
• Resistance Breaker: Its unique chemical makeup controls insect strains that have built resistance to older insecticides (like organophosphates or pyrethroids).

Crops suitability: Paddy, Cotton, Chilli, Brinjal, and Mango.

Commonly used for (Insect / Diseases): Brown Plant Hopper (BPH), White-Backed Plant Hopper, Aphids, and Whiteflies.

Mode of entry:

• Systemic: The active ingredient is absorbed by the plant’s leaves and roots, moving throughout the vascular system. Pests ingest the chemical while feeding on plant sap.
• Translaminar: The chemical penetrates the leaf surface, moving from the upper to the lower leaf tissues, which helps control hidden or underside pests.

Mode of action:

AGRIVENTURE PYMETRO is a selective, systemic, and translaminar insecticide that disrupts the nervous system of sap-feeding insects. It specifically targets chordotonal organs, paralyzing the insect's feeding mechanism and hind legs. Pests immediately stop feeding and eventually die from starvation.

Mode of application: Foliar spray

Dose: 15 - 20gm in 15-liter Water
