? Product Overview

• Formulation Type: Water Dispersible Granules (WG)

• Manufacturer: UPL Limited

? What is UPL Argyle?

UPL Argyle is an innovative dual-action insecticide combining Acetamiprid (a systemic neonicotinoid) and Bifenthrin (a contact pyrethroid). This formulation offers broad-spectrum control of both sucking and chewing pests, making it highly effective in cotton, soybean, pulses, and vegetables.

Its unique combination ensures fast knockdown, long-lasting protection, and improved plant vigor — essential for maximizing crop yield and quality.

? Mode of Action

• Acetamiprid (25%) – Works systemically by affecting the central nervous system of pests through nicotinic acetylcholine receptor interference, leading to paralysis and death.

• Bifenthrin (25%) – Acts through contact and stomach poisoning, disrupting nerve transmission and providing a quick knockdown effect on pests.

Together, these two molecules offer dual protection — one from inside the plant and one on the plant surface.
