Mode of Action

Pymetrozine acts by targeting the nervous system of the pest, specifically affecting its ability to feed. It paralyzes the hind legs of Brown Plant Hoppers, causing them to drop off the plant and die later due to starvation. Additionally, it disrupts the reproductive cycle by inhibiting egg-laying, thus ensuring complete control of hopper resurgence.
