Uses of Hextar Plato 75 EC

Hextar Plato 75 EC is a combination insecticide that pairs two active ingredients:

• Lufenuron (5.26%) — a benzoylurea compound (IRAC Group 15) that disrupts chitin synthesis in insects.

• Lambda-cyhalothrin (2.63%) — a pyrethroid (IRAC Group 3A) providing contact and stomach poisoning effects.
   

This dual-action formulation gives it a broad spectrum of control — effective both when ingested (via lufenuron’s interference with molting and cuticle formation) and upon direct contact (via neurotoxic effects of lambda-cyhalothrin).

Typical Applications

• Target Pest Types: Designed for both sucking and biting insects, including fruit borers, scale insects, thrips, caterpillars, and similar pests.
   

• Recommended Dosage: Around 20 ml per 20 L spray solution, although dosage should be adjusted based on crop type and infestation level. It’s best to consult local agricultural experts or product labels for precise instructions.
