Product description
Trigard 75 WP insect growth regulator for tunnel maker control 250 grams
Trigard 75 WP Trigard 75 WP specialized insecticide works as insect growth regulator IGR, contains the active substance Cyromazine at 75%, and is used to assist in controlling tunnel maker larvae and leaf fly that affect a number of vegetable crops, beans, onions, and legumes, when used according to the label instructions and recommended dosages.
Trigard features a different mechanism of action from many traditional insecticides; it acts as an inhibitor of chitin synthesis inside the insect body, stopping larval growth and limiting its development. Therefore, it is a suitable option within tunnel maker control programs, especially when intervention occurs early before the infection expands inside the leaves and affects growth quality and production.
Insect growth regulator for tunnel makers and leaf fly
Tunnel makers are pests that are difficult to deal with using surface insecticides alone, because they live inside leaf tissue and leave visible tunnels that reduce photosynthesis efficiency and weaken plant vitality. Here, the importance of specialized insecticides like Trigard 75 WP comes in, as they target the larval stage and work to disrupt their growth instead of relying solely on rapid direct effects.
Using Trigard at the early appearance of infection helps reduce tunnel expansion inside leaves, protects new growth, and lessens the pest's impact on leaf and fruit quality. However, it should be used as part of an integrated control program that includes regular monitoring, removing heavily infested leaves when necessary, and rotating with other insecticides with different mechanisms of action to reduce resistance development.

Uses of Trigard for tunnel maker control
Trigard 75 WP is used in tunnel maker and leaf fly control programs in crops affected by larval infections inside leaves. The best timing for use is at the onset of infection or when the first tunnels are observed, as targeting early-stage larvae offers a better chance to limit damage spread.
Key appropriate uses include:
Controlling leaf fly larvae in tomatoes.
Controlling tunnel makers in cucumbers and beans.
Reducing onion fly infestations in onion crops.
Using it in other legumes when tunnel maker infection appears.
Protecting leaves and new growth from tunnel expansion.
Including it in integrated control programs in greenhouses and open fields.
Method of use for Trigard 75 WP
Mix the required amount of Trigard 75 WP with an appropriate amount of water, stirring well until the powder is evenly dispersed in the spray solution, then complete the required water volume in the sprayer tank. The solution should be used immediately after preparation, covering the leaves well, especially the areas where early infection appears.
Dosages according to product data:
Tomatoes: 0.3 to 0.4 grams per 1 liter of water to control leaf fly larvae.
Cucumbers and beans: 0.3 to 0.4 grams per 1 liter of water for fly larvae control.
Onions: 0.4 to 0.5 grams per 1 liter of water against onion fly larvae.
Other legumes: 0.3 to 0.4 grams per 1 liter of water for fly control.
It is preferred to spray at the early appearance of infection, ensuring complete coverage of the leaves to reach larval activity sites. It is also advised not to repeatedly use the same insecticide throughout the season and to rotate with other insecticides with different mechanisms of action.
Important notes during use
Start spraying at the early infection stage, not after tunnels have expanded significantly.
Ensure full leaf coverage for the best result.
Focus on infected leaves and new growth.
Do not increase the dose arbitrarily in the name of increased effectiveness.
Rotate with other insecticides to reduce resistance risk.
Do not mix the product with other pesticides or fertilizers unless compatibility is confirmed.
Use clean, appropriate spraying tools to ensure even distribution of the solution.
Precautions for using Trigard
Read the entire product label before use.
Wear gloves, mask, and goggles during preparation and spraying.
Avoid contact of the insecticide with skin, eyes, or mouth.
Do not spray during strong winds or high temperatures.
Keep the insecticide away from children, animals, and food sources.
Wash hands, clothes, and spraying tools thoroughly after use.
Store the product in a dry, cool place away from sunlight.
Do not reuse empty containers for other purposes.
Adhere to the pre-harvest safety interval according to the product label and target crop.
Farmer advice
To achieve the best results against tunnel makers, do not wait until tunnels expand inside most leaves, as leaf damage has already occurred. Start treatment at the early infection stage, monitor the crop after spraying, and include Trigard in an integrated control program that includes improving ventilation, removing damaged leaves when necessary, and rotating with other insecticides with different mechanisms of action.
