Dantotsu Insecticide
Dantotsu Insecticide is a highly effective broad-spectrum systemic insecticide containing Clothianidin 50% WDG (Water Dispersible Granules). It belongs to the neonicotinoid group of insecticides, known for its strong systemic movement and long residual activity. Once applied, Dantotsu is absorbed by the plant and distributed throughout the tissues, protecting crops from damaging sucking pests like aphids, thrips, whiteflies, jassids, and leafhoppers.
Clothianidin works by targeting the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in insects, disrupting their nervous system and causing paralysis and death. Because of its quick uptake and long protection window, Dantotsu is widely used by farmers for protecting crops during critical growth stages.
Its excellent systemic action, quick knockdown effect, and longer persistence make Dantotsu a reliable choice for farmers growing high-value crops such as cotton, rice, vegetables, and fruit crops.
