EMPOUND 60 WG – AG Pharma | Dual-Action Insecticide for Sucking Pests and Brown Plant Hopper Control

Advanced Dual-Action Insecticide for Superior Control of Sucking Pests and Brown Plant Hopper

Sucking pests are among the most damaging insects in rice, cotton, vegetables, orchards, and other field crops. Pests such as Brown Plant Hopper, whitefly, aphids, jassids, leafhoppers, and planthoppers feed on plant sap, weaken crop growth, transmit viral diseases, and reduce yield potential. Timely pest control is essential for healthier plants and better crop productivity. EMPOUND 60 WG by AG Pharma is an advanced dual-action insecticide formulated to provide rapid and long-lasting control of major sucking insect pests. It contains a powerful combination of Pymetrozine 40% and Dinotefuran 20% in a Water Dispersible Granules (WG) formulation. This innovative combination targets both insect feeding behavior and the nervous system, helping stop crop damage quickly and effectively.

What is EMPOUND 60 WG?

EMPOUND 60 WG is a high-performance insecticide designed for the control of sucking pests in rice, cotton, vegetables, orchards, and other agricultural crops. Its dual-active formulation delivers quick feeding cessation, effective pest mortality, and long-lasting crop protection. The combination of Pymetrozine and Dinotefuran makes EMPOUND 60 WG a strong option for managing difficult and resistant sucking pest populations.

Active Ingredients

EMPOUND 60 WG contains: Pymetrozine: 40% Dinotefuran: 20% Formulation: Water Dispersible Granules (WG) This advanced WG formulation disperses easily in water and provides effective spray performance when used according to label recommendations.

Key Benefits of EMPOUND 60 WG

1. Dual Mode of Action for Superior Pest Control

EMPOUND 60 WG combines two powerful active ingredients with different actions. Pymetrozine disrupts insect feeding, while Dinotefuran affects the nervous system. Together, they provide strong control of sucking pests and help reduce crop damage.

2. Rapid Feeding Cessation

One of the major advantages of EMPOUND 60 WG is its ability to stop insect feeding quickly. Once pests stop feeding, crop damage is reduced, and plants get a better chance to recover and grow strongly.

3. Effective Brown Plant Hopper Control

Brown Plant Hopper is a serious pest of rice and can cause heavy damage if not controlled at the right time. EMPOUND 60 WG provides effective control of BPH, helping protect rice plants from hopper burn and yield loss.

4. Controls Major Sucking Pests

EMPOUND 60 WG is effective against a wide range of sucking insects, including whitefly, aphids, jassids, leafhoppers, planthoppers, and other sap-sucking pests.

5. Long-Lasting Crop Protection

The dual-action chemistry provides extended protection against pest attack, helping maintain healthier crop growth for a longer period.

6. Reduces Virus Transmission

Sucking insects can transmit harmful plant viruses while feeding. By stopping feeding activity and controlling pest populations, EMPOUND 60 WG helps reduce the risk of virus spread in affected crops.

7. Improves Crop Vigor and Productivity

By reducing pest pressure, EMPOUND 60 WG helps crops maintain better growth, stronger leaves, improved vigor, and higher yield potential.

8. Excellent Resistance Management Tool

The combination of two active ingredients makes EMPOUND 60 WG a valuable tool in insecticide resistance management programs, especially where resistant sucking pest populations are difficult to control.

Mode of Action

EMPOUND 60 WG works through a dual-action mechanism: Pymetrozine stops insect feeding by disrupting the feeding behavior of sucking pests. Once feeding stops, pests are unable to continue damaging the crop. Dinotefuran acts on the insect nervous system, causing paralysis and death. This provides rapid and effective pest control. Together, Pymetrozine and Dinotefuran provide fast feeding cessation, effective pest mortality, and strong protection against sucking pest damage.
