UPL teams to check whitefly spread

Date:08-18-2020

Considering the incidence of whitefly attack on cotton crop in parts of Punjab and Haryana, United Phosphorus Limited (UPL), a leading crop protection product manufacturer, has deployed its field officials to visit hotspots and advise farmers on how to manage the pest. 

UPL has also deployed 250 falcon spraying machines to spray on the cotton crop in Punjab to tackle whitefly. Ulala (flonicamid50WG) recommended by Punjab Agricultural University (PAU), Ludhiana, has been used to effectively control whitefly on cotton crop for several years. 

Ankit Laddha, north region head, UPL, said, “We understand the concerns of farmers at this situation and assure them the best support to control the whitefly."
