Legacy of Syngenta
The rich history of Syngenta is rooted in an Indian custom that dates back many years. From CIBA, Sandoz, and ICI to its current incarnation, the track record has been one of the best examples of business collaborations and citizenship in India. We are one of the first few businesses to provide services from “Kashmir to Kanyakumari,” enhancing farm productivity and the lives of Indian farmers. Since the year 2000, Syngenta has been conducting business in India.
Syngenta has a substantial presence in India and has research stations located all throughout the nation. Its headquarters are in Pune.

Technical content:
Thiamethoxam 1% + Chlorantraniliprole 0.5% GR
Mode of action
Thiamethoxam is a neonicotinoid. This indicates that the substance acts similarly to the addictive drug nicotine. When an insect consumes or absorbs the poison into its body, the poison disrupts the insect’s neurological system, which is how thiamethoxam works. An exposed insect experiences loss of bodily control, twitching and spasms, paralysis, and eventually death.
The ryanodine receptor, a particular receptor found in muscles, is where chlorantraniliprole interacts. The binding of chlorantraniliprole to this receptor results in calcium leakage from muscle cells. Normal muscular function stops. It becomes paralyzed and perishes. In insects as opposed to mammals, a separate ryanodine receptor exists. In insects, chlorantraniliprole binds to the receptor significantly more firmly. Mostly if it is consumed, it is poisonous to insects. On contact, chlorantraniliprole is poisonous to insect eggs, larvae, and pupae.
Special feature of Syngenta Virtako insecticide
The dual mode of action of Virtako insecticide ensures long-lasting protection from the rice and corn stem borer and the sugarcane early shoot borer. Along with a lush, healthy crop, Virtako promotes the formation of extra-productive tillers and extensive roots, and it also provides the added benefit of accelerating crop growth. The growers benefit from better ROI, bigger yields, and peace of mind thanks to Virtako, which does not hinder plant growth.

- Virtako is safe for the crop, the applicator, and the environment and does not impede development.
Advantages of using Virtako insecticide
- Thiamethoxam, a neonicotinoid, is efficient against a variety of insects. Additionally, it is less prone to encounter insect resistance. It can be applied directly to plant foliage or to the soil and works well against sap-sucking insect plants.
- Thiamethoxam is useful in protecting plants from insect damage due to its systemic activity and transfer effect to other insects.
- In addition to some beetles and “true” bugs like aphids and spittlebugs, it also manages caterpillars or larvae of moths and butterflies.
