Astroze 240SC

Methoxyfenozide 24%
– An insecticide in the form of a suspension concentrated that is used as a spray on the shoots system(vegetative parts).
– Belongs to the chemical group Diacylhydrazine Group 18.
– Kills Lepidoptera insect larva only.
* Lepidoptera order (Squamata wings or cortical wing): It is the second largest order of insects with wings Scaly, among them are butterflies and moths.
– A selective insecticide that works through contact and stomach to accelerate the molting process for target insects.
– It is sprayed when the insect is first detected and before the insect reaches the critical economic limit. And before the egg hatching stage, to ensure that the emerging larva are exposed to the treated surfaces before any damage to the crop occurs.
– Mechanism of action divided into:
1- A pesticide that speeds up the molting process of the larva after ingestion and then kills the larva by affecting the hormone hydroxy-dyson-20, this hormone is important for the larva during the molting process in the two stages (L1-L2) and thus the larva dies before the completion of the life cycle.
2- This mechanism of action differs from the effect mechanism of other insect growth regulator in terms of affecting the insect’s chitin or through substances with a hormonal effect.
3- Affects by ingesting newly hatched larva. It has a negative effect on the ovary.
4- After the larva have ingested ASTROZE 240SC; They stop feeding within 4-8 hours, and subsequently the larva dies due to their inability to feed and their ability to complete the molting process.
– Suitable for integrated pest management programs(IPM).
– Should be sprayed thoroughly, covering all shoots, to ensure the eradication of the larvae.
– Stable in spray solution at pH 4 – 9.
