Performance Insights

Farmers across Kenya have reported noticeable improvements in pest control and crop health within just one or two applications of Lockdown 720EC. In most cases, aphid populations drop significantly within the first 24 hours. This reduces leaf damage, allows the plant to recover faster, and improves overall yields. Because Lockdown 720EC is absorbed quickly, it remains effective even when sprayed during slightly humid conditions. Its broad-spectrum ability also makes it suitable for use throughout the crop lifecycle, from nursery to maturity.
