Product Details

Key Benefits

How UPL Zevigo Works

Cartap Hydrochloride is a nereistoxin-analogue insecticide that interferes with insect nerve signalling. Chlorantraniliprole is a diamide insecticide that acts on insect ryanodine receptors, disrupting muscle function. Together, these active ingredients help manage susceptible insect pests.

Target Pests in Paddy

• Yellow Stem Borer: Larvae bore into rice stems and can cause dead hearts and whiteheads.
• Leaf Folder: Larvae fold and feed on rice leaves, damaging the green leaf tissue.

Dosage and Application

Important: Zevigo is a granular formulation. Do not use it as a conventional foliar spray or dissolve it in a spray tank unless specifically instructed by the manufacturer.

Safety Precautions

• Wear protective gloves and appropriate clothing during application.
• Prevent contamination of ponds and other water bodies.
• Use only for approved crops and pests.
