APPLY is one of the best technology available in the world to control BPH which is a serious pest that can cause significant harm in later stages of paddy crops. It has potential to cause losses upto 50% and in past has caused serious damage in some of the major rice growing states.  APPLY’s  3 way action gives complete control on BPH. Just after spray, BPH stops feeding, thus checks losses immediately. APPLY also stops egg-laying by BPH, thus helps reducing resurgence of BPH. It also requires less no. of sprays  then other products available in the market, so it even helps in reducing cost of paddy farmers. 

The “Green Chemistry Challenge “award winner- LARGO is the world’s best thripicide and offers excellent control of important insects on the Cotton and Chilli  crop such as Thrips (Thrips tabaci), Spotted boll worm (Earias Vittella) Leaf eating caterpillar(Spodoptera litura),Thrips (Scirtothrips dorsalis) , Pod borer (Helicoverpa armigera) & Leaf eating caterpillar (Spodoptera litura/ Spodoptera exigua). LARGO acts on the target pest either by ingestion of treated leaf or through cuticular contact. LARGO is a fast acting insecticide on target insect which ceases insect feeding within minutes of first exposure. Application of LARGO between 50-70 days after sowing in Cotton and two rounds of LARGO spray alternate with other chemistries in between 45-90 days in chilli is recommended. Being a Green triangle molecule, LARGO is also very safe to beneficial insects.
