HISTAR is a broad-spectrum insecticide manufactured by Somani Agro Solutions. It falls under the pyrethroid group and contains Fenpropathrin 10% EC as its active ingredient. This insecticide is known for its strong performance and long residual control against a variety of pests.

Key features and benefits:

• Broad-spectrum activity: HISTAR effectively controls a wide range of pests, including bollworms, whiteflies, mites, jassids, and termites in various crops like cotton, rice, vegetables, and fruits.

• Strong biphenyl bond: This unique feature provides a longer residual period of control, reducing the frequency of applications.

• No cyano group: Unlike some other pyrethroids, HISTAR does not have a cyano group, making it less irritating to the skin for users.

• Contact and stomach action: It works by both contacting the pest and being ingested, leading to quick and effective control.

• Strong soil bonding: HISTAR binds well to soil particles, providing extended control of soil-dwelling pests like termites.

• Phototonic effect: It has a stimulating effect on plants, improving their vigor and overall health.

• Cost-effective: HISTAR offers efficient pest control at a competitive price.

Mode of action:

Fenpropathrin is a synthetic pyrethroid that disrupts the nervous system of insects by affecting sodium channels. This leads to paralysis and ultimately death of the pest.
