No middleman ensures best quality at wholesale prices.
HITALUX insecticide (Quinalphos 25% EC) is a broad-spectrum, non-systemic solution with contact and stomach action. It effectively targets bollworms in cotton and key pests in paddy such as stem borer, leaf folder, brown plant hopper, green leaf hopper, and hispa.
Quinalphos, the active ingredient, is a cholinesterase inhibitor. It disrupts the nervous system of pests, leading to paralysis and death. With good initial knockdown effect and residual activity, HITALUX ensures extended protection for your crops.
Its translaminar action enables penetration through leaves, offering partial systemic activity. Farmers choose HITALUX as a reliable option for cotton and rice pest management, reducing crop damage and improving yield.
For broader protection plans, farmers can also explore our insecticides category with compatible crop solutions. Research confirms Quinalphos as effective against multiple pest orders including Lepidoptera and Hemiptera [ICAR 2022]. For safe use guidelines, visit the Government of India agriculture portal.
