Best Agrolife Citigen Insecticide – Strong Protection with Chlorantraniliprole 18.5% SC

Best Agrolife Citigen is a powerful systemic insecticide designed for fast and long-lasting protection against major crop-damaging pests. Formulated with Chlorantraniliprole 18.5% SC, it belongs to the advanced anthranilic diamide group and works as a Ryanodine Receptor Activator. This unique mode of action disrupts muscle functions in pests, leading to paralysis and death shortly after contact or ingestion.

Why Farmers Trust Citigen Insecticide

Quick Feeding Cessation: Pests stop feeding within hours of application, reducing crop damage instantly.
Ovi-Larvicidal Action: Targets both eggs and larvae, breaking the pest lifecycle effectively.
Plant-Systemic Activity: Moves within the plant, reaching hidden pests and providing internal protection.
Wide Crop Compatibility: Suitable for pulses, cotton, vegetables, maize, rice, and more.
Low Dosage, High Efficiency: Highly concentrated formulation delivers strong results at a lower cost.

Mode of Action

Citigen activates ryanodine receptors in pest muscle cells, causing uncontrolled calcium release. This results in muscle paralysis, feeding stop, and eventual death of the insect. The effect starts soon after ingestion, ensuring rapid crop recovery and visible results.
