Description

What is YUPU?

YUPU is a powerful insecticide solution that combines the active ingredients Emamectin Benzoate and Lufenuron to offer dual-action pest control. It is designed specifically to target caterpillars in cabbage crops. YUPU works by disrupting the pests’ feeding behavior and interfering with their ability to molt, providing effective protection from caterpillar infestations. With a Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI) of 7-14 days, it ensures minimal residue while delivering excellent pest control.

Key Benefits

• Dual-action control: Combines Emamectin Benzoate and Lufenuron for faster and more effective pest control.
• Fast action: Starts working quickly to stop feeding and prevent further damage to crops.
• Long-lasting protection: Prevents caterpillar outbreaks with lasting effects, reducing the need for frequent applications.
• Ideal for cabbage: Specially formulated to protect cabbage from harmful caterpillars.
• Safe for crops: With a PHI of 7-14 days, it ensures safe use near harvest time.

How It Works

YUPU works through its dual-action chemistry:

• Emamectin Benzoate: This ingredient is a chloride channel activator, which affects the nervous system of the caterpillars, quickly halting their feeding and leading to their death.
• Lufenuron: Acts as a chitin synthesis inhibitor, preventing caterpillars from molting properly, effectively controlling their population and stopping further damage to crops.

Together, these two active ingredients provide a fast-acting and long-lasting solution to caterpillar infestations in cabbage crops.
