Colt 20% WG Insecticide – Pyrifluquinazone for Whiteflies, Aphids and Mealybugs 100 g

• Colt 20% WG is a specialized insecticide containing the active ingredient pyrifluquinazone 20% as water-dispersible granules (WG). It is a non-systemic insecticide that acts by contact and ingestion, with local translaminar movement within the leaf tissue but no transport in the plant sap. This improves its reach to piercing-sucking pests such as aphids, whiteflies, mealybugs, thrips and scale insects, helps reduce infestation levels when applied early and protects the foliage. It belongs to chemical group 9B, is suitable for integrated pest management programs and has a short pre-harvest interval of just one day.
