Plethora Insecticide – Dual Action Defense Against Caterpillars
Plethora is a powerful dual-action insecticide formulated with Novaluron 5.25% and Indoxacarb 4.5% SC, offering an effective solution for managing lepidopteran pests (caterpillars) across a wide range of crops such as cotton, vegetables, pulses, and oilseeds.
This unique formulation brings together two complementary modes of action. Novaluron is an Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) that interferes with the pest's development cycle by inhibiting chitin synthesis, preventing molting and emergence of new generations. Indoxacarb, on the other hand, is a sodium channel blocker that disrupts the pest's nervous system, causing paralysis and death shortly after ingestion.
The combination of these two active ingredients provides quick knockdown, residual protection, and helps delay the development of pest resistance. It is ideal for Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs due to its targeted mode of action and safety profile for beneficial insects.
