Description
Farming involves protecting your crops from pests that can cause serious damage. One of the best insecticides for this is Matoi 20 WG 200 GM, made by Jaffer Agro Services. This product is specially designed to tackle whiteflies and other sucking insects that can harm your plants.
“The active ingredient, Pyrifluquinazon, is a new type of insecticide that works quickly and effectively.”
Why Choose Matoi 20 WG 200 GM?
1. How It Works
Matoi uses Pyrifluquinazon, which targets specific channels in insects' bodies called TRPV channels. Here’s what happens when pests come into contact with it:
-
Stops Feeding: Insects can’t eat properly, which leads to starvation.
-
Loss of Control: They become disoriented and struggle to move.
-
Quick Death: These effects lead to their rapid demise, often within just a few hours.
This makes Matoi a powerful weapon against pests!
2. Effective Against Various Pests
Matoi 20 WG 200 GM is particularly effective against:
|
Pests |
What You Might See |
|
Whiteflies |
Yellowing leaves, wilting plants |
|
Aphids |
Curling leaves, sticky spots |
|
Mealybugs |
Cotton-like masses on stems |
These pests can seriously damage your crops if not controlled quickly.
3. Fast Action And Lasting Effects
-
Quick Action: You’ll see results in just a few hours after application.
-
Deep Penetration: Matoi can move through plant leaves, killing pests that are hidden underneath.
This means that even if pests are hard to spot, Matoi can still reach them and do its job.
4. Helps Prevent Resistance
Using Matoi can help prevent pests from becoming resistant to insecticides. This is important because some pests can become immune to certain chemicals over time, making them harder to control. Matoi’s unique way of working means it can remain effective longer.
5. Safe For Good Bugs
Matoi is designed to have a lower impact on beneficial insects, like ladybugs and bees. This makes it suitable for use in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs, which focus on controlling pests while protecting beneficial species.
