Introduction to UPL Sekito

What is UPL Sekito?

UPL Sekito is an advanced insecticide that combines the systemic properties of Acetamiprid with the muscle-paralysis effects of Chlorantraniliprole. It provides comprehensive pest control in various crops, especially targeting resistant pest populations.

Key Ingredients and Composition

• Acetamiprid (20%) – A neonicotinoid insecticide that disrupts the nervous system, causing paralysis and death.

• Chlorantraniliprole (20%) – A ryanodine receptor modulator that targets muscle function in insects, leading to irreversible damage.

How Does UPL Sekito Work?

Mode of Action

• Acetamiprid – Acts through contact and ingestion, disrupting neurotransmission by affecting nicotinic acetylcholine receptors.

• Chlorantraniliprole – Disrupts calcium channels in muscle cells, leading to paralysis and death.
