Alpha Plus (Anu Products Limited) (Alpha Methrin 10% EC) is a broad-spectrum, synthetic pyrethroid insecticide manufactured by Anu Products Limited. It is an emulsifiable concentrate (EC) formulation containing 10% alpha-methrin, a potent insecticide with contact and stomach action.

Dosage and Application: The recommended dosage of Alpha Plus varies depending on the crop and target pest. For most crops, the recommended dosage is 100-150 ml per hectare. Alpha Plus should be applied as a foliar spray using a conventional sprayer. Make sure to cover all parts of the plant, including the leaves, stems, and bolls, with the spray solution.
