Crystal Crop Protection Launches PROCLAIM XTRA, an Advance Insecticide for Maize and Soybean

Crystal Crop Protection Limited, a leading agrochemical organization, has launched Proclaim XTRA, its latest insecticide specifically formulated for maize and soybean. Proclaim XTRA is designed to provide effective protection against all kinds of caterpillar, especially Spodoptera spp. like Fall Armyworm. This ensures prolonged crop safety and helps farmers to maximize yield during the crop cycle. This innovative solution promises to enhance crop health and productivity, contributing to the success and sustainability of farmers' produce.

Proclaim XTRA is a contact, systemic and translaminar insecticide that works to paralyze and kill caterpillars. It is an EC formulation that enables efficient control on a wide range of caterpillar pests on crops. The caterpillar rapidly ceases damage to crops after its application, provides rapid control with long duration. It inhibits the metamorphosis of insect which prevents insect to convert into another damaging stage.

Farmers should apply Proclaim XTRA at the stage of 30-60 Days and 60-90 Days after sowing of soybean. In case of maize spraying should be at 11-25 Days and 26-60 Days after sowing.
