Key Features And Benefits
Dual Mode Of Action
One of the defining characteristics of Ripfos is its dual mode of action, providing both contact and translaminar effects:
Contact Action
Upon application, Ripfos 44EC forms a protective barrier on plant surfaces. This rapid action is essential for eliminating pests that come into direct contact with the treated foliage.
Translaminar Action
The formulation penetrates the leaf surface, allowing the active ingredients to travel within the leaf tissue. This ensures extended protection against pests that reside both on the surface and within the leaf structure.
Targeted Pest Control
Ripfos 44EC effectively manages a wide spectrum of troublesome pests, including:
Mealybugs
Known for damaging various crops, mealybugs can severely impact yields. Ripfos 44EC effectively targets and controls these pests.
Bollworm Complex
A notorious threat to cotton crops, bollworms can devastate yields. The combination of Cypermethrin and Profenofos in Ripfos 44EC provides potent control.
Fruit Borers
In fruit orchards, fruit borers can lead to significant losses. Ripfos 44EC protects these crops, ensuring healthy production.
User-Friendly Application
