₹550.00
PI Roket is a highly popular, dual-action insecticide that combines two powerful active ingredients to provide a "knockdown" effect and broad-spectrum control. It is specifically designed to tackle complex pest situations where both sucking and chewing insects are present simultaneously.
Product Overview
Technical Name: Profenofos 40% + Cypermethrin 4% EC
Chemical Group: Combination of Organophosphorus and Synthetic Pyrethroid
Mode of Action:
Contact & Stomach Action: Kills insects on contact or when they consume treated foliage.
Translaminar Action: The Profenofos component penetrates the leaf surface to kill pests hiding on the underside.
Synergistic Effect: The combination makes it more potent than using either chemical alone, effectively managing pests that have developed resistance to single-molecule insecticides.
Key Benefits
One-Shot Solution: Controls a wide range of pests including bollworms, beetles, and sucking pests like aphids and thrips.
Strong Knockdown: Pests stop feeding almost immediately after application, preventing further crop damage.
Ovicidal Action: Effectively kills insect eggs, preventing the next generation of pests from hatching.
Versatility: Suitable for use in a variety of weather conditions and across many different stages of crop growth.
Recommended Uses & Dosage
Roket is a staple for commercial growers of fiber, oilseed, and vegetable crops.
