Product Specifications

Recommended Crops, Target Pests and Dosage

Key Features

• Broad-spectrum action: Controls important sucking and chewing pests across multiple crops.
• Contact & stomach activity: Acts when susceptible insects contact treated surfaces or ingest treated plant material.
• Quick knockdown: Provides rapid action against susceptible pests.
• Pyrethroid chemistry: Lambda-Cyhalothrin belongs to IRAC Group 3A.

Benefits for Farmers

• Paddy pest coverage: Useful against stem borer, leaf folder, hoppers and several other important rice pests.
• Cotton protection: Helps manage bollworms along with jassids and thrips.
• Vegetable borer control: Suitable for shoot and fruit borer management in Brinjal and fruit borer in Tomato.
• Fast pest suppression: Quick knockdown helps reduce continued feeding damage under proper application practices.

Mode of Action

Lambda-Cyhalothrin acts on the insect nervous system as a sodium-channel modulator. It disrupts normal nerve transmission, leading to rapid loss of movement and eventual death of susceptible insects.

Because Agent Plus works mainly through contact and ingestion, good spray coverage of pest-prone crop parts is important for consistent field performance.

How to Use Indofil Agent Plus Insecticide

1. Identify the target pest and crop before application.
2. Measure the recommended crop-specific dose accurately.
3. Partially fill the spray tank with clean water.
4. Add Agent Plus while stirring continuously.
5. Add the remaining water and mix thoroughly.
6. Spray uniformly over the crop canopy, especially where pests are active.

Why Farmers Can Choose Agent Plus

Agent Plus is suitable when farmers need a Lambda-Cyhalothrin 5% EC insecticide for a mixed pest situation involving caterpillars and sucking pests. In Paddy, it is particularly useful where stem borer, leaf folder and hopper populations occur within the same crop season.
