Description:

AGRIVENTURE PROFEN is a broad-spectrum organophosphate insecticide and acaricide. It acts as both a contact and stomach poison and features strong translaminar action, allowing it to penetrate leaf tissue to eliminate pests hiding on the underside of leaves.

Technical content: Profenophos 50% EC

Key Features & Benefits:

• Dual Action: Acts as both a contact and stomach poison, paralyzing pests on contact or through ingestion.
• Translaminar Properties: Penetrates deep into leaf tissue, effectively reaching and eliminating pests hidden under the leaves.
• Ovicidal Activity: Destroys insect and mite eggs before they hatch, disrupting the pest life cycle at the earliest stage.
• Fast Knockdown: Disrupts the insect nervous system by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase, leading to rapid paralysis and death within 24 to 48 hours.
• Long Residual Protection: Provides extended, active control on crops, reducing the overall number of sprays required per season.
• Resistance Management: Highly effective against bollworm populations that may have developed resistance to standard synthetic pyrethroids.

Crops suitability: Cotton, Rice (Paddy), Soybean, Chillies, Brinjal, Tomatoes, Fruits & Plantation Crops

Commonly used for (Insect / Diseases):

• Cotton: Highly effective against bollworm complexes, jassids, aphids, thrips, and whiteflies.
• Soybean: Controls girdle beetles and semiloopers.
• Vegetables (e.g., Chillies, Brinjal, Tomatoes): Manages fruit borers, aphids, whiteflies, mites, and leaf miners.
• Rice (Paddy): Targets stem borers and plant hoppers.
• Fruits & Plantation Crops: Protects against fruit flies, red spider mites, pink mites, and tea mosquito bugs.

Mode of entry:

• Contact Action: It kills pests directly upon physical contact with the chemical or spray mist.
• Stomach Poison: It is ingested by pests as they feed on treated plant surfaces.
• Translaminar Action: It penetrates the leaf tissue, allowing it to reach and eliminate pests (and mite eggs) hiding on the underside of leaves without being fully absorbed into the plant's systemic circulation.

Mode of action:

AGRIVENTURE PROFEN is a broad-spectrum organophosphate insecticide and acaricide that works primarily as a neurotoxin. It disrupts the pest's central nervous system by inhibiting the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, leading to rapid paralysis and death.

Mode of application: Foliar spray

Dose: 35ml in 15-liter water
