Pangaea Booster™

Combat resistance. Restore control.

Introducing Pangaea Booster™

Introducing Pangaea Booster™, a tried-and-tested adjuvant designed to improve the efficacy of a wide range of plant protection products (PPPs), including insecticides.

Insecticide resistance is a challenge for growers, impacting yields and increasing costs. Pangaea Booster™ gives growers a practical, effective solution to combat pest resistance. It integrates seamlessly with current practices and helps to protect the long-term performance of existing PPP programmes.

How it works

Pangaea Booster™ temporarily disables the metabolic resistance mechanism (cytochrome P450) in insects. This leaves pests hypersensitive, making them more vulnerable to insecticides.

If insecticide resistance is undermining your current pest protocols, Pangaea Booster™ can restore their effectiveness, quickly and reliably.
