Syngenta Virtako Insecticide is a unique new-generation granular insecticide containing Thiamethoxam 1% + Chlorantraniliprole 0.5% GR. It provides dual-mode action for effective and long-lasting control of stem borers in rice and maize, and early shoot borers in sugarcane. Virtako works systemically and protects the crop from pest damage during the early growth stages. It helps improve root development, encourages the formation of productive tillers, and promotes healthy green crop growth without stunting the plants. The product is mainly applied through broadcasting by mixing with sand or fertilizer, making it convenient for field application. Regular use at the recommended stage helps reduce pest-related crop losses, improve crop vigor, and enhance overall yield potential.
