Active Ingredients and Dual Mode of Action
Solomon combines Beta-cyfluthrin (8.49 percent w/w) and Imidacloprid (19.81 percent w/w) formulated as an Oil Dispersion (OD).
The combination blends synthetic pyrethroid contact knockdown action with neonicotinoid systemic protection, ensuring comprehensive pest control across upper and lower leaf surfaces.
- Beta-cyfluthrin: Fast-acting synthetic pyrethroid causing rapid neurotoxic knockdown of exposed pests
- Imidacloprid: Systemic neonicotinoid translocated through plant xylem to control feeding sucking insects
- Oil Dispersion (OD) formulation: Ensures superior droplet spreading, retention, and rainfastness on waxy leaves
Registered Crop Applications and Target Pests
Solomon is approved for managing destructive insect complexes that attack crops simultaneously.
It delivers simultaneous control against both foliar foliage feeders and stem or fruit tunneling insect stages.
- Soybean: Controls semilooper caterpillars and girdle beetle larvae
- Brinjal (Eggplant): Suppresses shoot and fruit borer alongside aphid and jassid populations
- Vegetables and field crops: Effective against thrips, whiteflies, and early lepidopteran larvae
Application Practices and Stewardship
Shake the container thoroughly before mixing to ensure uniform oil dispersion in spray water.
Spray early in the morning or late afternoon to prevent bee foraging exposure and observe label waiting periods before harvesting crops.
- Mixing: Prepare solution with clean water and agitate before applying with knapsack sprayer
- Pre-harvest interval: Observe mandatory harvest intervals specified on the CIBRC product leaflet
- Pollinator protection: Avoid spraying during peak flowering periods when honeybees are active
