How Does Vodo Work?
Active Ingredients
Flonicamid (15%)
This ingredient quickly stops insects from feeding. When they touch the treated plant, they die almost immediately.Pyriproxyfen (20%)
This ingredient works differently. It affects the insects’ hormones, stopping them from growing into adults. This means they can’t reproduce, which helps keep their numbers down.
Three Ways It Works
Vodo 35WDG has a triple action approach to control pests:
Contact Action: Insects that land on treated plants die right away.
Systemic Action: Once the plant absorbs the insecticide, it spreads throughout the plant. Even the parts that weren’t directly sprayed are protected.
Translaminar Action: Vodo 35WDG can penetrate the waxy surface of leaves, reaching pests hiding underneath.
Target Pests
1. Whiteflies
Whiteflies are tiny insects that suck the sap from plants. They weaken the plants and can spread diseases, making them a significant threat to cotton crops.
2. Jassids (Leafhoppers)
Jassids feed on cotton plants, causing damage that can lead to poor growth and lower yields. They can also carry diseases that affect your plants.
3. Thrips
Thrips are small insects that damage cotton buds, flowers, and bolls. Their feeding can hurt the quality of your cotton fibers and reduce the overall yield.

Long-Lasting Protection: With its unique formula, Vodo 35WDG provides both immediate and long-term control of pests, which means fewer applications.
