Willowood Antenna
Antenna is a soluble powder formulation of the neonicotinoid insecticide acetamiprid. It is designed for the control of various sucking insects and some chewing insects, making it suitable for a range of agricultural and horticultural applications. Its high concentration allows for effective pest management with relatively low application rates.
Willowood Antenna – Advanced Broad-Spectrum Insecticide
Willowood Antenna is a broad-spectrum systemic and contact insecticide containing Thiamethoxam 30% FS, formulated for seed treatment to protect crops from early-stage insect attacks. It provides long-lasting protection against sucking and soil-borne pests by targeting the insect nervous system, leading to paralysis and death.
This systemic neonicotinoid insecticide is absorbed by the seed and translocated to all parts of the plant, ensuring comprehensive pest control while promoting healthy crop establishment.
