- Colt 20% WG is a specialized insecticide containing the active ingredient pyrifoquinazone at a rate of 20% in the form of water-dispersible granules (WG). It is a non-systemic insecticide that works by contact and has a cross-feeding effect with the ability to spread locally within the leaf tissue without being transferred through the plant sap. This enhances its access to piercing-sucking pests such as aphids, whiteflies, mealybugs, thrips, and scale insects. It contributes to reducing the density of infestation when used early and protecting the foliage. It belongs to the chemical group 9B and is suitable for use within integrated pest management programs with a short safety period of up to one day.
