Katyayani Fengo (Pyriproxyfen 10 + Bifenthrin 10 EC) Insecticide
Quick Overview
Katyayani Fengo is a broad-spectrum premix insecticide formulated with Pyriproxyfen 10% + Bifenthrin 10% EC, designed for complete control of whiteflies at all life stages—eggs, nymphs, and adults. By combining a juvenile hormone analog (IGR) with a pyrethroid, it offers both growth regulation and rapid knockdown action.
In addition to controlling pests, it reduces Leaf Curl Virus (CLCV) transmission, suppresses sooty mold, and promotes crop vigor and branching through its phytotonic effect.
