Description

PUNCH is a water dispersible powder (WP) formulation containing Buprofezin 40% and Acephate 35%, making it an ideal solution for managing a range of pest infestations. Buprofezin acts as a growth regulator, disrupting the molting process of pests like planthoppers and leafhoppers, while Acephate provides contact and systemic action, rapidly controlling pests like aphids, thrips, and whiteflies.

Together, these two ingredients offer quick knockdown, long-lasting protection, and a dual-mode of action, ensuring effective pest control while reducing the chances of resistance. PUNCH is effective on paddy, vegetables, and other major crops, promoting plant health and boosting overall yield potential.
