WHITE OUT (Pyriproxyfen 10.8% EC)

Active Ingredients: Pyriproxyfen 10.8% EC

Product Description: Pyriproxyfen 10.8% EC is a specialized insecticide designed for the targeted control of whitefly eggs and nymphs in cotton crops. Its unique formulation disrupts the hormonal balance of insects, specifically hindering their development into mature adults. This insecticide offers long-lasting control, providing residual protection for several weeks. Notably, Pyriproxyfen 10.8% EC demonstrates a relative safety for beneficial insects, including essential pollinators.

Major Crops:

• Cotton

Diseases:

• Whiteflies

Mode of Action: Pyriproxyfen 10.8% EC operates by mimicking juvenile hormone (JH), a critical regulator of insect growth and development. When insects come into contact with or ingest Pyriproxyfen 10.8% EC, it interferes with the production and function of JH. This disruption leads to abnormal development, preventing the insects from reaching maturity.

Key Features:

• Effective control of whitefly eggs and nymphs
• Long-lasting residual control
• Relative safety for beneficial insects

Additional Information:
