DESCRIPTION
Mahindra Impeach Pro Pymetrozine 50% WG Insecticide Details :
- Mahindra Summit IMPEACH PRO is an advanced systemic insecticide formulated with Pymetrozine 50% WG for effective control of Brown Plant Hopper (BPH) and other hoppers in rice and mango crops. It works by permanently inhibiting feeding, paralyzing the pest, and causing starvation, ensuring long-lasting protection without resurgence. The unique mode of action makes it an excellent choice for sustainable pest management.
- Technical Content: Pymetrozine 50% WG
- Mode of Action: Impeach Pro involve effects on neuroregulation or nerve-muscle interaction. Physiologically, it appears to act by preventing these insects from inserting their stylus into the plant tissue.
Features & Benefits:
- Impeach Pro provides immediate protection against BPH through permanent feeding inhibition.
- Imeach Pro paralyse the pest and starves pest to die.
- It provide prolong protection against BPH.
- No resurgence of pest.

FAQs – Mahindra Summit Attila Gold (Pymetrozine 50% WG)
1. What is Attila Gold (Pymetrozine) and how does it work?
Ans. Attila Gold is a water-dispersible granule (WG) insecticide with a novel mode of action classified by IRAC Group 9B. It functions as a selective feeding blocker, targeting chordotonal mechanoreceptors and TRPV sensory channels in sap-feeding insects. This disrupts their nerve signaling, causing feeding cessation and eventual starvation.
2. Which pests and crops does it control effectively?
Ans. It’s highly effective against piercing-sucking pests such as aphids, whiteflies, planthoppers, and leafhoppers. It is widely used on rice, vegetables, potatoes, cotton, fruit crops, and ornamentals.
3. How well does it perform in rice against Brown Planthopper (BPH)?
Ans. Field trials show that Pymetrozine 50 WG at 350 g a.i./ha significantly reduces BPH populations in paddy and improves yield—while preserving natural enemy populations like predators and parasitoids.
4. What is the recommended application rate for rice?
Ans. Apply 180–240 g per hectare (approx. 75–100 g per acre). For best results, apply at the early nymph peak of BPH, ensure uniform spray coverage, and avoid use during rainy periods—this product supports up to two applications per season with a 14-day safety interval.
5. Why is Pymetrozine considered environmentally safer than older insecticides?
Ans. Pymetrozine has low acute toxicity to humans and non-target organisms, including birds, mammals, aquatic life, and bees. It’s not mutagenic, has limited dermal absorption, and poses minimal groundwater contamination risk—making it a safer alternative to organophosphates.
6. Are there any concerns about resistance?
Ans. Yes—overuse or application at higher-than-recommended doses can accelerate resistance development in BPH populations. Surveys in Tamil Nadu have shown varying levels of reduced susceptibility among different regions.
It’s vital to rotate modes of action and integrate IPM strategies to preserve efficacy.
