Akarsh ME

Description

Product Overview

AKARSH ME® is an innovative fruit fly management solution developed using ATGC’s patented Controlled Release Matrix Technology. The advanced formulation provides sustained and controlled release of attractants, ensuring long-lasting attraction of fruit flies and effective population suppression.

When combined with approved insecticides such as Spinosad 45% SC or Fipronil 5% SC, AKARSH ME® becomes a highly effective Attract-and-Kill solution, helping growers reduce fruit fly infestation, protect fruit quality, and improve marketable yield.

Its unique blend of male and female attractants offers broader attraction compared to conventional methyl eugenol-based products, making it a powerful component of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs.
