Chess insecticide Technical Details

• Mode of Action: Chess insecticide, which contains the active ingredient Pymetrozine (50% WG), involves a unique mechanism that targets pests, particularly Rice plant hoppers (BPH). Upon contact, it paralyzes their hind legs, causing immobility and preventing them from feeding on crops. This starvation leads to their eventual death.

This comprehensive action makes Chess a potent tool in safeguarding crops from pest-related damage.
