UPL Atabron Chlorfluazuron 5.4% EC Insecticide for Caterpillar Control

UPL Atabron Chlorfluazuron 5.4% EC Insecticide

UPL Atabron is a modern insecticide formulated with Chlorfluazuron 5.4% EC, specially designed to control caterpillar pests in crops. It works effectively against early stage larvae of major pests such as spodoptera, plutella and heliothis, helping farmers protect crops from heavy damage.

This insecticide acts as an insect growth regulator (IGR), which stops the molting process of pests and breaks their life cycle. As a result, pests fail to grow and eventually die, ensuring long lasting protection for crops.

Atabron provides both contact and stomach action, making it highly effective when applied at the early stage of pest infestation. It also supports better crop health and improves yield potential.
