About Zingala Insecticide
Zingala Insecticide is a Nichino product containing Pyrifluinazon 20% WG. It is a whitefly focused insecticide used in cotton. It has translaminar action, which helps the product move from the upper leaf surface to the lower side of the leaf where whiteflies usually stay and feed.
Zingala Insecticide is recommended for cotton against whitefly, Bemisia tabaci. Use Zingala for effective control of whiteflies, especially during the crop stage when whitefly pressure can affect crop health and quality.
