Control Caterpillar Infestation with DeHaat Ataque GR

The infestation of caterpillars in crops is emerging as a serious problem for farmers. Caterpillars are the larvae of various types of insects that feed on the leaves, flowers, and fruits of plants, impacting their growth and production capacity. These pests not only reduce the quality of crops but also have a negative effect on farmers' efforts and costs. If not controlled in time, caterpillars can destroy a large portion of the crop. To address this issue and control caterpillars, DeHaat has introduced an excellent pesticide called 'DeHaat Ataque GR.' This pesticide contains the active ingredient 'Chlorantraniliprole 0.4% GR.' Let’s dive into the detailed information about DeHaat Ataque GR through this post.
