With quick knockdown and long residual activity, it ensures cleaner crops and higher yields. Trusted by farmers for effective protection across all growing stages.
Description
Ampligo 150 ZC insecticide is a powerful broad-spectrum pest control solution that combines fast knockdown action with long-lasting residual protection. Formulated by Syngenta, this product is designed to protect a wide range of crops from both chewing and sucking insect pests at all growth stages.
It contains a unique combination of two active ingredients: chlorantraniliprole and lambda-cyhalothrin. These two molecules work together to deliver both systemic and contact action, making Ampligo effective against pests that feed on plant tissue and those that damage crops from the outside.
Ampligo 150 ZC insecticide is ideal for use in vegetables, cereals, pulses, and many horticultural crops. It is particularly effective against lepidopteran larvae such as caterpillars, armyworms, and pod borers. This insecticide is trusted by professional growers and smallholder farmers alike for its performance, safety, and convenience.
Composition and Mode of Action
Ampligo 150 ZC insecticide is a ZC formulation, which means it combines capsule suspension (CS) and oil dispersion (OD) technologies. This dual formulation allows for improved stability, adherence to plant surfaces, and effective penetration into plant tissues.
Active ingredients:
-
Chlorantraniliprole (100 g/L): A systemic anthranilic diamide that affects the ryanodine receptors in insect muscles, causing paralysis and death after ingestion.
-
Lambda-cyhalothrin (50 g/L): A contact pyrethroid that disrupts the insect nervous system, leading to rapid knockdown on contact.
Together, these ingredients provide both immediate and extended pest control, ensuring that your crops remain protected long after application.
