Chess Insecticide
Chess Insecticide is a highly effective systemic insecticide developed by Syngenta, designed specifically to control major sucking pests such as aphids, whiteflies, and jassids. Powered by Pymetrozine 50% WG, it provides targeted pest control by disrupting the feeding behavior of insects, leading to rapid starvation and death without causing unnecessary stress to crops.
Chess is widely trusted by farmers for its selective action, long residual protection, and compatibility with Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs. It effectively protects crops like cotton, vegetables, rice, and fruit crops from severe yield losses caused by sap-sucking insects.

Systemic and Translaminar Activity
Absorbed by plant tissues and spreads across leaves, ensuring complete coverage and protection even on hidden insect populations.
Low Resistance Risk
