Curator

Description

What is CURATOR?

CURATOR is a broad-spectrum insecticide designed to effectively control a variety of pests that affect wheat crops. The product combines two powerful active ingredients: Bifenthrin (3%) and Triazophos (17%), offering both contact and systemic action to ensure superior pest control. CURATOR targets key pests like Aphid and Red Mite, which are common threats to wheat crops, making it an essential tool for farmers across Pakistan, especially in regions like Punjab, KPK, Sindh, and Balochistan.

This formulation is ideal for tackling pest infestations, offering long-lasting protection and maximizing crop yields. By incorporating both contact and systemic actions, CURATOR ensures that pests are eradicated quickly and efficiently, even those that are hidden in the plant system.

Key Benefits

• Effective Pest Control: Targets Aphids and Red Mite with both contact and systemic action.
• Dual Action Formula: Combines Bifenthrin and Triazophos for rapid knockdown and long-lasting control.
• Broad-Spectrum Protection: Controls a wide variety of pests affecting wheat and other crops.
• Economic: A cost-effective solution that reduces the need for multiple treatments.
• Safe and Efficient: Provides robust protection with minimal application frequency.

How It Works

CURATOR works in two stages to eliminate pests. Bifenthrin, a Pyrethroid, acts as a sodium channel modulator, disrupting the nervous system of pests and causing them to die quickly upon contact. On the other hand, Triazophos, an Organophosphate, acts as an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (AChE), which interferes with the nervous system of pests, leading to paralysis and death.

The combination of these two active ingredients ensures that CURATOR provides a dual-action solution that not only kills pests immediately but also prevents them from re-infesting, ensuring long-term crop protection.
