Intrepid®

Intrepid® is a broad spectrum insecticides for Chilli & Cabbage. It gives superior control for DBM and Mites.

Intrepid is a novel chemistry that saps energy out of insects, thereby rendering them weak. It belongs to the diacylhydrazine class of insecticides and has a novel mode of action that mimics the action of the molting hormone. It has contact & stomach action and also has systemic properties. Intrepid works by disrupting the production of adenosine triphosphate, in the insect nervous system.

How it works?

Novel mode of action

Interferes with respiration & acts on mitochondria (power house)
Intrepid stops the battery of the insect !! (Conversion of ADP to ATP in Mitochondria generates chemical energy for cell functions in insects)
Intrepid lodges between inner and outer membranes of Mitochondria and prevents ATP production.
Hence cells stop functioning and insect dies from inability to produce its own energy
