Pest infestation is one of the most damaging and persistent challenges in agriculture. The emergence of insecticide-resistant pests has made it even harder for farmers to safeguard their crops and maximize yield. That’s where Tarbut, powered by Tolfenpyrad 15% EC, brings a revolutionary change to your pest management strategy.

Tarbut is a high-performance, contact-based insecticide from the pyridylpyrazole group, known for its rapid knockdown action and broad-spectrum control. It is specially formulated to tackle a wide range of sucking and chewing pests, especially those that have developed resistance to conventional insecticides.

🔬 Mode of Action: Energy Blocker for Pests

Tolfenpyrad acts on the mitochondria of pest cells, specifically inhibiting complex I of the electron transport chain, which is essential for ATP production. By blocking energy generation, Tarbut paralyzes the pests quickly, causing death within hours of application.

This unique mode of action makes Tarbut an excellent choice for controlling insecticide-resistant pests and integrating it into Insect Resistance Management (IRM) programs.

🌾 Crops Recommended for Tarbut Use

Tarbut can be effectively used across a wide variety of crops, including:

• Cotton

• Chilli

• Tomato

• Brinjal (Eggplant)

• Okra (Ladyfinger)

• Cabbage & Cauliflower

• Onion

• Rose and ornamental flowers

• Cucurbits

• Leafy vegetables

Its broad compatibility with multiple crops makes it a versatile addition to any crop protection regimen.

🦟 Target Pests Controlled

Tarbut is highly effective against common yet damaging insect pests:

• Whiteflies (Bemisia tabaci)

• Thrips (Thrips tabaci, Frankliniella occidentalis)

• Aphids (Aphis gossypii, Myzus persicae)

• Jassids (Amrasca biguttula biguttula)

• Mites (Red spider mites and two-spotted mites)

• Leafhoppers

It provides quick control over both nymphs and adult stages, breaking the pest cycle early and protecting the crop’s vegetative and reproductive stages.
