PENTAGON 5% EC
KSh 1,060.00 – KSh 2,000.00
PENTAGON 5% EC is a powerful, broad-spectrum solution for managing cutworms, thrips, whiteflies, and aphids in fruit, vegetable, and rose crops. It offers reliable pest control, improving crop yield and quality while promoting a healthier farming environment. Available at Farmers Trend Virtual Agrovet, this product is a vital tool in the toolkit of any farmer seeking effective and sustainable pest management.
PENTAGON 5% EC is a highly effective broad-spectrum insecticide containing Lambda Cyhalothrin as the active ingredient. With a concentration of 5% EC (Emulsifiable Concentrate), this product is a pyrethroid-based solution specifically designed to provide outstanding protection against a wide range of pests that commonly infest fruits, vegetables, and roses. At Farmers Trend Virtual Agrovet, we offer PENTAGON 5% EC to help farmers and growers maintain healthy crops and ornamental plants by controlling damaging pests such as cutworms, thrips, whiteflies, and aphids.
Key Features
- Active Ingredient: Lambda Cyhalothrin 5% EC
- Formulation: Emulsifiable Concentrate (EC)
- Target Pests: Cutworms, thrips, whiteflies, and aphids
- Application Areas: Fruits, vegetables, and roses
- Mode of Action: Contact and ingestion insecticide
How PENTAGON 5% EC Works
PENTAGON 5% EC operates by affecting the nervous system of target pests. Lambda Cyhalothrin is a synthetic pyrethroid, which disrupts the normal functioning of the insects’ nerve cells. This leads to paralysis and ultimately the death of the pests. By working on contact and ingestion, the product is effective against both chewing and sucking insects. The residual activity of PENTAGON 5% EC ensures extended protection of crops after application, making it an efficient and cost-effective solution for farmers.
Target Pests and Crops
- Cutworms: These pests are known for damaging young plants by cutting them off at the soil level. PENTAGON 5% EC effectively controls cutworms, which are especially destructive in crops like tomatoes, cabbages, and other vegetables.
- Thrips: Thrips are tiny insects that suck the sap from plants, causing silvering, discoloration, and stunted growth in fruits and vegetables. The insecticide provides excellent control of thrips, reducing crop damage and ensuring higher yields.
- Whiteflies: Whiteflies feed on plant sap, which weakens the plant and promotes the growth of sooty mold. PENTAGON 5% EC controls whitefly populations in fruits and ornamental crops such as roses, helping to maintain plant health and aesthetics.
- Aphids: Aphids are notorious for their rapid reproduction and ability to transmit diseases. PENTAGON 5% EC stops aphid infestations, protecting plants from these sap-sucking pests that weaken crops and spread viral infections.
Recommended Usage
PENTAGON 5% EC is recommended for use in a wide variety of crops, including:
- Fruits: Mangoes, citrus, apples, and other fruit-bearing plants
- Vegetables: Tomatoes, cabbages, onions, peppers, and other common vegetables
- Ornamental Plants: Roses and other flowering plants
Application Instructions
- Dosage: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions on the label for the correct dilution rates.
- Application Timing: Apply PENTAGON 5% EC at the first sign of pest infestation for optimal results.
- Method of Application: This product can be applied using knapsack sprayers or other suitable spraying equipment.
- Re-entry Period: After application, it is advised to avoid entering treated fields for at least 24 hours to ensure safety.
- Harvesting Interval: Be mindful of the pre-harvest interval (PHI), which varies by crop, to avoid any pesticide residues on the produce.
Benefits of Using PENTAGON 5% EC
- Broad-Spectrum Control: Effectively targets multiple pests, reducing the need for different insecticides.
- High Efficiency: Provides long-lasting protection, reducing the frequency of application.
- Cost-Effective: Minimizes crop losses and the cost of pest management, enhancing overall profitability for farmers.
- Plant Safety: When used according to the label instructions, it is safe for crops without causing phytotoxicity.
- Environmental Considerations: As a synthetic pyrethroid, it has lower toxicity to mammals and birds when compared to other chemical classes of insecticides.
Safety and Handling
As with all insecticides, safety precautions must be observed when handling and applying PENTAGON 5% EC:
- Wear Protective Gear: Always use personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, masks, and long-sleeved clothing.
- Avoid Direct Contact: Do not ingest or inhale the product and avoid direct skin or eye contact.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children and pets.
- Disposal: Dispose of any leftover product or empty containers according to local environmental regulations to prevent contamination.
