Zircon 25% WDG Systemic Insecticide for Aphids Whiteflies and Thrips 200 g

• Zircon 25% WDG is a systemic insecticide containing thiamethoxam . It is used to control sap-sucking insects such as aphids, whiteflies, and thrips, which feed on plant sap and cause stunted growth and reduced yields. The insecticide works by absorption and translocation within plant tissues, ensuring that the active ingredient reaches all parts of the plant, including new growth. Zircon is characterized by its rapid and stable action when applied at the beginning of an infestation. It helps to limit the spread of pests and reduce the resulting damage, and it also contributes to reducing the transmission of diseases associated with sap-sucking insects.
