Pegasus Insecticide
Pegasus Insecticide is a highly effective broad-spectrum insecticide and acaricide formulated with Diafenthiuron 50% WP. It is widely trusted by farmers for controlling difficult sucking pests such as whiteflies, aphids, thrips and mites, especially in crops like cotton, vegetables, and fruits.
Pegasus works through contact, stomach, and vapor action, disrupting the energy production process inside pest cells, which leads to quick paralysis and death. Its unique mode of action makes it highly effective even against pests that have developed resistance to many conventional insecticides.
Due to its strong translaminar movement, Pegasus penetrates leaf tissues and protects both upper and lower surfaces, ensuring complete pest control and longer field protection.
