Active composition and dual mode of action
- Active ingredients: Betacyfluthrin 8.49% (synthetic pyrethroid) + Imidacloprid 19.81% OD (neonicotinoid).
- Oil Dispersion (OD) technology: Premium oil-based formulation provides superior droplet spread, leaf adherence, and penetration into waxy leaf surfaces.
- Dual action: Betacyfluthrin delivers instant contact knockdown of caterpillars and borers, while Imidacloprid moves systemically to eliminate sucking pests.
- Extended protection: Delivers both immediate pest clearing and long-lasting systemic residual activity.
Target insect pests and registered crop spectrum
- Cotton: Outstanding control of aphids, jassids, and bollworms in a single spray application.
- Brinjal (Eggplant): Dual control of fruit and shoot borer alongside sucking jassids and whiteflies.
- Soybean: Manages girdle beetle, semilooper caterpillars, and stem flies.
- Vegetables: Controls fruit borers, thrips, and aphids in tomato, chilli, and okra.
- Rainfastness: Oil dispersion chemistry provides excellent rainfastness within 2 hours of foliar application.
Spraying protocol, equipment, and safety precautions
- Application timing: Spray at the early economic threshold level when pest colonies or early instar larvae appear.
- Spray equipment: Use a knapsack or motorized sprayer delivering 150 to 200 litres of water per acre with hollow cone nozzles.
- Safety gear: Wear rubber gloves, protective goggles, and a chemical face mask; do not spray into the wind.
- Pre-harvest interval: Adhere strictly to the CIB&RC approved pre-harvest interval before picking produce.
