NITENPYRAM 50% + PYMETROZINE 25% WP
A combination insecticide containing two complementary active ingredients with different modes of action for superior control of sap-sucking pests. This Wettable Powder (WP) formulation provides a rapid knockdown effect combined with long-lasting feeding inhibition for comprehensive pest management and resistance prevention.
Product Information
Nitenpyram (Neonicotinoid): Disrupts nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the insect nervous system. It causes paralysis and death with extremely quick action (Rapid Knockdown).
Pymetrozine (Pyridine Azomethine): A selective feeding inhibitor that disrupts the salivary pump mechanism of sap-sucking insects. This mechanically prevents them from inserting their stylet and feeding on plant fluids.
Synergy: Within 3 hours of application, pest feeding activity is reduced by ~90%. Near complete mortality occurs after 48 hours, with residual effectiveness lasting over 20 days.

- Leafhoppers
- Thrips
Stops virus transmission by halting feeding immediately. Effective against pests resistant to conventional insecticides. Safe for beneficial insects in rice ecosystems.
