GSP Ballot Insecticide – Granular Root-Absorbed Defense Against Stem Borer and Leaf Folder
GSP Ballot is a root-targeted insecticide formulated with Chlorantraniliprole 0.4% GR. It is uniquely designed for soil application, offering systemic protection from within the plant. Once absorbed by the roots, Ballot moves through the plant's vascular system, targeting internal and external pest stages. It is especially effective for controlling stem borer, leaf folder, and shoot borers in paddy and other cereals.
Built for Soil Application, Powered by Systemic Action
Unlike foliar sprays, Ballot acts from the ground up. Its granular formulation ensures even distribution in the field, while its active ingredient penetrates root zones and is translocated throughout the plant. This internal protection gives crops an advantage against damaging larvae hidden inside stems and leaves.
