Tata Takumi (Flubendiamide 20% WG)
Product Overview
Tata Takumi is a premium insecticide that contains Flubendiamide (20%), a powerful active ingredient that is effective against a broad spectrum of lepidopteran pests (caterpillars, worms) that damage crops. The formulation is available in a Water Dispersible Granule (WG) form, providing easy handling and precise application.
Key Features
Active Ingredient
Flubendiamide (20%): Belongs to the diamide group, known for its high efficacy in controlling caterpillars and other larval pests that feed on crops.
Targeted Control
Specifically designed for the control of lepidopteran pests such as caterpillars, armyworms, and bollworms, which are common pests in various crops like cotton, vegetables, and fruits.
Mode of Action
Acts by interfering with the muscle function in the pest’s body, leading to paralysis and death. It targets the ryanodine receptor in insect muscles, causing uncontrolled release of calcium, which results in muscle contraction and insect death.
Systemic and Contact Action
Provides both contact and systemic action, ensuring long-lasting protection and reduced pest infestation over time.
Residue-Free and Safe
Low toxicity to humans, animals, and beneficial insects when used according to the recommended guidelines.
Mode of Action
Flubendiamide works by disrupting the muscle function in the pest’s body. It binds to the ryanodine receptor, causing the release of calcium ions in muscle cells, which leads to muscle spasms, paralysis, and ultimately death of the pest.
