Borneo Insecticide – Best for controlling mites in Tea & Brinjal.

Mite infestation can silently destroy your crop yields, especially in high-value crops like Tea and Brinjal. To protect your fields from these microscopic enemies, you need a reliable, rain-fast, and long-lasting solution. Presenting BORNEO insecticide – a powerful, scientifically-advanced miticide that halts mite growth and gives your crops a fighting chance against Red Spider Mites.

What is Borneo Insecticide?

Borneo is a highly effective miticide powered by Etoxazole 10% SC, specifically developed to control mite populations in Tea and Brinjal. It disrupts the life cycle of mites, targeting not only their eggs and larvae but also reducing the reproductive capacity of adult mites.

Whether it’s a sunny day or a surprise rain, BORNEO continues to protect your crops, making it a dependable ally for farmers.

Mode of Action – How BORNEO Works

The uniqueness of BORNEO® lies in its mode of action. It inhibits chitin synthesis, an essential carbohydrate for forming the outer shell of mites. Without it, the larvae and nymphs cannot develop properly, ultimately leading to their death. Additionally, its translaminar action allows it to penetrate the leaf surface and kill mites hiding underneath.
