Twiga Ace 20SL Insecticide 100ml-No 1 Powerful

Description

Twiga Ace 20SL is a trusted broad-spectrum insecticide formulated to offer fast, systemic, and long-lasting control against a variety of crop-damaging pests. It is designed for use on a wide range of crops including vegetables, fruits, cereals, and ornamentals. Packaged in a convenient 100ml bottle, Twiga Ace 20SL is ideal for small to medium-scale farmers seeking a reliable solution to manage pests like aphids, whiteflies, thrips, leafhoppers, jassids, mealybugs, and certain caterpillars.

Twiga Ace 20SL contains acetamiprid 200g/L, a neonicotinoid class insecticide that acts both on contact and through ingestion. It is absorbed quickly by plant tissues and moves systemically, targeting pests even in hidden feeding areas such as the undersides of leaves or inside flower buds. This makes it particularly useful for controlling pests that evade direct spray coverage.

Its mode of action, speed of effectiveness, and wide crop compatibility have made Twiga Ace 20SL a go-to choice for integrated pest management programs across Kenya and East Africa.

Key Features and Benefits

Fast Knockdown and Residual Action
Twiga Ace 20SL acts quickly to control pest populations, showing visible results within hours of application. The systemic nature of the product ensures it moves throughout the plant, offering residual control for several days.

Highly Effective on Sucking Pests
Particularly effective against sap-feeding insects like aphids, jassids, and whiteflies, which are common in vegetables and fruits. It reduces the spread of viral diseases transmitted by these pests.

Safe for Crops, Strong on Pests
When used at the recommended dosage, Twiga Ace 20SL does not cause phytotoxicity or damage to plant tissues. It can be safely used on young seedlings, flowering crops, and fruit-bearing plants.

Suitable for Tank Mixing
Can be mixed with most fungicides and foliar feeds, making it easy to incorporate into routine spray programs without extra passes in the field.

Rainfast Within Hours
Once absorbed by the plant (within 2 hours), it remains active even if it rains after application, reducing the need for re-spraying.

Ease of Use
Twiga Ace 20SL is supplied as a soluble liquid that dissolves easily in water, ensuring even mixing and no clogging of spray nozzles.

How Twiga Ace 20SL Works

Acetamiprid, the active ingredient in Twiga Ace 20SL, is a systemic neonicotinoid insecticide that binds to the insect’s central nervous system. It acts on nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, causing overstimulation, paralysis, and death of the pest.

This mode of action is effective against both larvae and adult stages of many insect species. Since it acts through ingestion and contact, pests are controlled even when hiding in plant crevices or feeding on sap.

The systemic movement allows the product to reach parts of the plant that may not be sprayed directly, offering extended protection from newly emerging pests.
