MAXTRO (500 ml) - Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) for Caterpillar & Leaf-Eating Pest Control
MAXTRO (500 ml) is a powerful Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) formulated with Lufenuron (10.4%). It effectively disrupts the molting process of larval pests, providing strong control over Spodoptera litura (armyworm) and other leaf-feeding caterpillars. Designed for vegetable and horticultural crops, MAXTRO ensures long-term pest management while maintaining crop safety and productivity.
Key Features
- Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) Technology — Disrupts chitin formation during larval molting, making it highly effective against young larvae and caterpillars.
- Long-Lasting Residual Control — Offers protection for up to 14 days after spraying.
- Selective Mode of Action — Targets larval stages without harming beneficial insects or pollinators.
- Low Odour & Safe Formulation — Easy to handle and safe for a wide range of crops.
- KELAS IV (Low Hazard) — Environmentally safe when used according to label directions.
Target Pests & Symptoms
- Spodoptera litura (Ulat Ratus / Armyworm) — Causes severe leaf damage and skeletonization on crops like chili and long beans.
- Leaf-Eating Caterpillars — Feed on young foliage, reducing plant growth and yield.
- Other Lepidopteran Larvae — Affects pest species in vegetables and fruit crops at the larval stage.
Suitable Crops
- Chili
- Eggplant
- Yardlong Bean
- Tomato
Applications
- Ideal for vegetable and horticultural crops, including chili, tomato, brinjal, and beans.
