Reeva® 2.5 EC: Broad-Spectrum Insecticide for Rice, Cotton & Vegetables in Bangladesh
Are you struggling to protect your rice, cotton, or vegetable crops from devastating pest infestations? Reeva® 2.5 EC is a professional-grade insecticide distributed by Auto Crop Care Limited in Bangladesh, specifically formulated to provide rapid, broad-spectrum control. Whether you are dealing with chewing caterpillars or sap-sucking insects, this powerful synthetic pyrethroid offers the immediate "knockdown" effect and long-lasting protection needed to secure your yield and maintain crop health.
What is Reeva® 2.5 EC?
Reeva® 2.5 EC is a non-systemic insecticide containing 25 grams of Lambda-cyhalothrin per liter. It is widely recognized in the Bangladeshi agricultural market for its dual-action capability: it functions through both contact and stomach poisoning, making it highly effective against a variety of pests that feed on or touch treated plant surfaces.
As a modern Type II synthetic pyrethroid, it disrupts the pest's nervous system, causing immediate paralysis and preventing further damage to your crops.
