Since
Trebon gives wide spectrum control on variety of insects and also fits in IPM
programme
we can strongly advocate the usage of this product in the crops recommended
above The
slight increase in cost of application is very well justified with
the benefits delivered by the
products like perfect kill and long persistency,
which ultimately would merit the farmer's
attention. |
| |
| Very
recently, we have promoted Trebon on Grapes, Mango, other fruits like pomegranate
and Vegetables in our Western Zone and farmers are absolutely happy with an effective
control of the pests. The international trial reports in the countries like Phillipines,
Japan, Taiwan, Italy, USA are evidence of controlling pests with Trebon on the
crops like Mango, Rice and Cotton. |
