Hifield Pyramid® (Acetamiprid 20% SP): A Powerful Systemic Insecticide for Sucking Pest Control
In modern agriculture, sucking pests have become one of the major challenges affecting crop productivity and quality. Pests like aphids, jassids, whiteflies, and thrips damage crops by sucking plant sap, transmitting viral diseases, and weakening overall plant growth. To manage these pests effectively, farmers need a reliable, fast-acting, and systemic insecticide.
Hifield Pyramid® (Acetamiprid 20% SP) is a trusted solution designed to provide long-lasting protection against a wide range of sucking pests across various crops.
What is Hifield Pyramid® (Acetamiprid 20% SP)?
Hifield Pyramid® is a systemic insecticide containing Acetamiprid 20% SP, belonging to the neonicotinoid group of insecticides. It is specially formulated to control sucking insects by penetrating plant tissues and spreading throughout the plant system.
Once applied, the insecticide is quickly absorbed by leaves and stems and translocated to all parts of the plant, including new growth and the underside of leaves, where pests usually remain hidden.
Available Pack Sizes
Hifield Pyramid® is available in convenient pack sizes to suit different farm requirements:
- 100 g
- 250 g
These packs are ideal for both small and large-scale farmers.
Target Pests Controlled
Hifield Pyramid® effectively controls a wide range of sucking pests, including:
- Aphids – Cause leaf curling, yellowing, and virus transmission
- Jassids (Leafhoppers) – Lead to hopper burn and reduced photosynthesis
- Whiteflies – Cause sap loss, honeydew secretion, and viral diseases
- Thrips – Damage flowers, leaves, and fruits, reducing yield and quality
By controlling these pests, Hifield Pyramid® helps maintain healthy crop growth.
Recommended Crops
Hifield Pyramid® can be safely used on a wide variety of crops such as:
- Cotton
- Vegetables (chilli, tomato, brinjal, okra, cabbage, etc.)
- Fruit crops
- Other field and horticultural crops
Its broad crop compatibility makes it a versatile insecticide for Indian farming conditions.
Mode of Action
Acetamiprid works by acting on the insect’s nervous system. After ingestion or contact, it interferes with nerve signal transmission, leading to:
- Loss of coordination
- Paralysis
- Eventual death of the pest
Because of its systemic nature, pests feeding on treated plants are effectively controlled, ensuring longer residual protection compared to contact insecticides.
