Gentok target pests include the chewing and sucking pests such as aphids, white flies, thrips, leafhoppers, scales and leaf miners.
Gentok insecticide rapidly spreads within the plant system because of its systemic activity.
Gentok protrcts the plant in early stages, ensuring healthy growth and better flowering/ fruiting.
Gentok is a systemic neonicotinoid insecticide that acts as an agonist of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) in the insect central nervous system.
By binding to these receptors, it causes excessive nervous stimulation, leading to paralysis and death in sucking and chewing insects.
Gentok is a systemic neonicotinoid insecticide applied mainly via seed treatment, soil drenching/incorporation, or foliar spray to control sucking and soil-borne pests.
It is best applied early in the pest cycle or preventively, with applications in early morning or evening to minimize pollinator risk.
