Intrepid® is a broad spectrum insecticides for Chilli & Cabbage. It gives superior control for DBM and Mites.
Intrepid is a novel chemistry that saps energy out of insects, thereby rendering them weak. It belongs to the diacylhydrazine class of insecticides and has a novel mode of action that mimics the action of the molting hormone. It has contact & stomach action and also has systemic properties. Intrepid works by disrupting the production of adenosine triphosphate, in the insect nervous system.
- Broad spectrum control: DBM and Mites
- Longer duration of control: Compared to other conventional miticides / insecticides. This leads to lesser number of sprays on the crop
- Translaminar: Intrepid is able to control pests feeding on the underside of the leaf.
How it works?
Novel mode of action
- Interferes with respiration & acts on mitochondria (power house)
- Intrepid stops the battery of the insect !! (Conversion of ADP to ATP in Mitochondria generates chemical energy for cell functions in insects)
- Intrepid lodges between inner and outer membranes of Mitochondria and prevents ATP production.
- Hence cells stop functioning and insect dies from inability to produce its own energy
