PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Agent Capsule-93 (Lambda-cyhalothrin 4.9% CS) is an advanced microencapsulated capsule suspension insecticide developed by Indofil Industries Limited. In this CS formulation, the active ingredient is sealed within thin-walled microcapsules suspended in water. The chemical releases rapidly when sprayed onto target insect surfaces and plant foliage, delivering targeted and extended control against chewing and biting pests across field crops and vegetables.
KEY FEATURES & BENEFITS
- Microencapsulation Technology: Protects active ingredients from rapid environmental degradation (heat and rain), ensuring prolonged residual field activity.
- Rapid Knockdown: Delivers immediate contact and stomach poison action, causing quick pest paralysis and halting plant damage.
- Broad Spectrum Control: Highly effective against bollworms, stem borers, leaf folders, and fruit borers across major Indian agricultural crops.
- Enhanced Safety: Microcapsule suspension reduces skin irritation and phytotoxicity risk compared to traditional EC formulations.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
- Wear full personal protective equipment including gloves, mask, eye protection, and protective body covering during handling and application.
- Avoid contamination of aquatic environments, lakes, and streams as pyrethroids are highly toxic to aquatic life and honeybees.
- Do not eat, drink, or smoke during application; wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling.
