Mode of Action:Plethora is an insecticide that operates as a chitin synthesis inhibitor, a vital process for an insect’s exoskeleton development, particularly during moulting. By obstructing chitin production, Plethora disrupts the formation of the exoskeleton, impeding proper growth and leading to the insect’s death. Additionally, it impacts the nervous system by blocking sodium ion entry into nerve cells, which not only interferes with moulting but also causes paralysis by disrupting sodium channels, ultimately immobilizing and killing the insect.
Key Features & Benefits

It is a selective, contact, systemic and stomach insecticide with a slow-release feature for inside or outside application for the control of lepidopteran insects.
