Frequently Asked Questions
Adama Plethora is a broad-spectrum insecticide used to control various insects that damage the crops. It controls lepidopteran insects like fruit borer, leaf eating caterpillar, leaf folder, pod borer complex, semilooper, Helicoverpa armigera, and Spodoptera litura.
Plethora Insecticide contains Novaluron 5.25% + Indoxacarb 4.5% w/w SC, an innovative combination that acts through dual mode of action.
Plethora Adama Insecticide can be used for tomato, paddy, black gram, chilli, soybean, red gram, chickpea, and groundnut for controlling chewing insects.
The active ingredients of Plethora Insecticide cause death of the insects by inhibiting synthesis of chitin, an important component of insect’s exoskeleton. This disturbs the growth of insects leading to death. It also kills insects by paralyzing them.

• 0.8-1.75 ml/litre
• 175-350 ml in 200 litres of water per acre
• 12-26.25 ml/15 litre pump
