Achta 1%

Achta 1% is a biological insecticide from Pivotal Agro containing Azadirachtin, a natural compound derived from the neem tree (Azadirachta indica). This eco-friendly solution harnesses the power of nature to control insect pests while being safe for beneficial organisms and the environment, making it an ideal choice for integrated pest management (IPM) programs and organic farming systems.

Azadirachtin works by disrupting insect growth, feeding, and reproduction through multiple modes of action. As a bio-insecticide, Achta 1% targets specific pest species while preserving beneficial insects, pollinators, and natural predators. It offers growers a sustainable alternative to conventional chemical insecticides, helping to reduce chemical residues on crops and minimize environmental impact.
