Carlos insecticide by Crystal is a systemic and translaminar solution formulated with pymetrozine 50 WG, designed specifically for controlling Brown Plant Hopper (BPH) in paddy. Once applied, it targets the pest's nervous system, blocks feeding, and prevents egg-laying, ultimately causing the insects to die of starvation.
The technology behind Carlos offers lasting protection with a single spray, effectively controlling hopper populations and preventing resurgence. Its systemic action ensures it reaches even hidden feeding sites, and its environmental safety profile makes it suitable for integrated pest management.
Carlos can also be used on crops like chilli, brinjal, groundnut, potato, and citrus, where it controls sucking pests such as aphids and whiteflies.
