General Information:

Advantage 25 DS is a broad-spectrum seed treatment insecticide that is effective against a wide range of early sucking pests in cotton. It contains the active ingredient carbosulfan, which is a systemic insecticide that is absorbed by the seeds and translocated to all parts of the seedling, including the roots, stems, and leaves.
