TORRENT 20% SC – AG Pharma | Systemic Clothianidin Insecticide for Sucking Pest Control

Advanced Systemic Insecticide for Superior Control of Sucking Insect Pests

Sucking insect pests can significantly reduce crop productivity by extracting plant sap, weakening plant growth, transmitting viral diseases, and lowering crop quality. Effective and long-lasting control is essential to protect crops during critical growth stages.

TORRENT 20% SC is a premium systemic insecticide from AG Pharma containing Clothianidin 20% SC, a highly effective neonicotinoid insecticide designed to provide rapid knockdown and extended residual control of major sucking insect pests. Its systemic activity allows the active ingredient to move throughout the plant, protecting both treated foliage and newly emerging growth against pest infestations.

With fast action, excellent crop safety, and long-lasting performance, TORRENT 20% SC helps farmers maintain healthier crops, minimize pest damage, and maximize yield potential.

Active Ingredient

What is TORRENT 20% SC?

TORRENT 20% SC is a broad-spectrum systemic insecticide developed to control a wide range of economically important sucking pests in field crops, vegetables, orchards, and horticultural crops. Once absorbed, the active ingredient moves through the plant’s vascular system, providing internal protection against feeding insects and safeguarding new plant growth.

Key Features

Powerful Systemic Action

Moves throughout the plant to provide complete internal protection.

Rapid Pest Knockdown

Quickly stops pest feeding and reduces crop damage.

Long-Lasting Residual Control

Provides extended protection against reinfestation.

Contact and Ingestion Activity

Controls insects through direct contact and feeding.

Protects New Growth

Safeguards newly emerging leaves and shoots after application.

Broad-Spectrum Performance

Effective against multiple sucking insect pests across various crops.

Excellent Crop Safety

Designed for effective pest control while maintaining healthy crop growth.

Key Benefits

Using TORRENT 20% SC helps:

• Control major sucking insect pests effectively
• Stop pest feeding quickly
• Protect newly emerging plant growth
• Reduce virus transmission caused by sap-sucking insects
• Improve crop vigor and overall plant health
• Minimize pest-related yield losses
• Increase crop productivity
• Support insect resistance management programs

Mode of Action

TORRENT contains Clothianidin, a neonicotinoid insecticide that acts on the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) in the insect nervous system. Once absorbed by the insect through feeding or contact, it disrupts nerve signal transmission, causing rapid feeding cessation, paralysis, and eventual death.

Because of its systemic movement inside the plant, TORRENT provides long-lasting protection to both existing and newly developed plant tissues.
