In the ever-evolving world of agriculture, crop resilience and pest resistance are central to sustainable farming. Advansia continues to support growers with science-backed solutions—Axtra Shield and Lambda-Cyhalothrin 2.8EC—to protect crops, enhance immunity, and secure better harvests.

Strengthening Plant Defenses with Axtra Shield

Diseases and environmental stress can severely compromise plant productivity. Axtra Shield is a natural, systemic acquired resistance (SAR) inducer that empowers plants to defend themselves against bacterial pathogens.

Formulated to trigger internal defense pathways, Axtra Shield enhances plant immunity, allowing crops to react more rapidly and strongly to infection. By promoting systemic resistance, this solution minimizes disease spread, reduces yield loss, and lessens the need for repeated chemical interventions.

Key Benefits of Axtra Shield:

• Stimulates SAR to fight off bacterial infections
• Improves resistance to abiotic stress (drought, salinity, heat)
• Increases plant vitality and recovery rate after disease exposure

Field observations have shown that plants treated with Axtra Shield display stronger stems, better leaf turgor, and reduced incidence of bacterial wilt—critical factors for crops like chili, tomato, and okra.

Broad-Spectrum Insect Control with Lambda-Cyhalothrin 2.8EC

Fruit borers, leaf-eating caterpillars, and sucking pests pose a significant threat to tropical crops. Lambda-Cyhalothrin 2.8EC, a trusted pyrethroid insecticide, delivers fast and reliable protection across a broad range of pests.

With contact and ingestion activity, Lambda-Cyhalothrin disrupts the nervous systems of pests, providing rapid knockdown and residual protection. Its efficacy on crops such as durian, mango, papaya, and vegetables makes it a vital part of integrated pest management (IPM) programs.

Advantages of Lambda-Cyhalothrin 2.8EC:

• Fast-acting, with immediate pest knockdown
• Effective against both larvae and adult stages
• Low application volume: 20 ml per 20L water
• Safer for beneficial insects when used responsibly

For best results, farmers are advised to alternate it with other insecticides such as Indoxacarb 15.8% SC to prevent resistance buildup and extend control duration.

Integrated Solutions for Long-Term Crop Health

Combining the power of plant immune activation with targeted pest control, Advansia’s solutions represent a shift toward smarter, greener agriculture. Growers adopting Axtra Shield and Lambda-Cyhalothrin experience:

• Improved plant health and flowering
• Reduced dependency on harsh chemicals
• Higher yields and consistent crop quality
• Better adaptation to changing environmental conditions

As agriculture moves toward sustainability, tools like Axtra Shield and Lambda-Cyhalothrin are becoming essentials in the farmer’s toolkit—supporting resilient crops, clean produce, and a healthier environment.
