Dhanpreet is a highly effective insecticide known for its systemic action and broad-spectrum control of sucking pests.1 Here's a detailed description:

Active Ingredient: Acetamiprid 20% SP2

Mode of Action: Dhanpreet belongs to the neonicotinoid group of insecticides.3 It works by disrupting the nervous system of insects, acting as an agonist to nAch (nicotinic acetylcholine receptors).4 This affects the synapses in the insect's nervous system, leading to paralysis and death.5

Key Features:

• Systemic and Translaminar Action: It is absorbed by the plant and transported throughout its tissues, including leaves, stems, and roots.6 This provides comprehensive and long-lasting protection from within.

• Broad Spectrum Control: Effectively controls a wide range of sucking pests, including aphids, jassids, whiteflies, and thrips.7

• Triple Action: Exhibits ovicidal (kills eggs), larvicidal (kills larvae), and adulticidal (kills adults) activity, providing comprehensive pest control.8

• Resistance Management: Effective against insects that have developed resistance to other insecticides.9
