Parijat Leonis Insecticide – Pyriproxyfen 10% + Bifenthrin 10% EC for Complete Whitefly Control
Parijat Leonis is a next-generation premix insecticide formulated with Pyriproxyfen 10% + Bifenthrin 10% EC. It combines the power of an Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) with a pyrethroid ester for broad-spectrum, synergistic control of whitefly at all life stages – eggs, nymphs, and adults. With quick knockdown action and long-lasting residual effect, Leonis also helps prevent Cotton Leaf Curl Virus (CLCV) spread and reduces sooty mold infestations.
