NUCLEAR

(Tolfenpyrad 15% EC)

NUCLEAR is a modern insecticide formulated for fast and precise control of chewing and leaf-feeding pests in vegetables, fruits, and field crops. Its emulsifiable concentrate formulation ensures uniform coverage and excellent adherence to foliage.

The formulation provides both contact and translaminar activity. NUCLEAR targets the nervous system of pests, leading to rapid feeding cessation and mortality. It is highly effective against caterpillars, leaf miners, and resistant insect populations, preventing crop defoliation and fruit damage.

Its precise application enhances plant health, reduces pest pressure, and supports integrated pest management programs, helping farmers maintain high-quality yield while controlling infestations efficiently.
