Insecticide
PelGar International’s pyrethrum-based crop protection products deliver broad-spectrum pest control that is both environmentally responsible and effective, with a quick 24-hour harvest interval.
PelGar International develops plant and crop protection products based on pyrethrum, a natural insecticide derived from chrysanthemum flowers. Pyrethrum has been used in Europe for more than 150 years - originally as louse and flea powders - and has since been formulated into liquid concentrates for public health pest control. Over the past decade, these formulations have been adapted for horticultural use, offering growers a natural and effective solution for crop protection.
Pyrethrum works through non-systemic, contact-based action, binding to sodium channels and disrupting the insect nervous system to provide broad-spectrum control. It is environmentally non-persistent, with a short 24-hour pre-harvest interval and suitability for crop re-treatment every seven days - helping to balance effective pest management with environmental stewardship.
