Formulation Science and Pest Spectrum
Sumiprint utilizes advanced emulsifiable or suspension chemistry engineered to maximize droplet adherence and penetration across waxy plant foliage.
Targeting insect nervous or developmental pathways, it provides reliable feeding cessation on contact or ingestion.
- Chewing caterpillars: Controls leaf folders, fruit borers, and defoliators in vegetables and pulses.
- Sucking pest suppression: Helps manage whiteflies, aphids, and jassids during early vegetative establishment.
- Rapid feeding cessation: Insect pests stop chewing or sucking plant sap shortly after exposure.
- Rainfast adherence: Formulated to adhere firmly to leaf surfaces, resisting wash-off from sudden rain showers.
Application Guidelines and Resistance Stewardship
For optimum crop protection, apply Sumiprint when pest scouting reveals early-instar larvae or emerging sucking pest colonies.
Rotating with insecticides having alternative modes of action ensures long-term chemical efficacy.
- Calibrate knapsack or power sprayers using hollow cone nozzles to achieve complete canopy coverage.
- Wear personal protective gear including gloves, goggles, apron, and face mask during dilution and spraying.
- Adhere to the registered pre-harvest interval (PHI) before harvesting fresh agricultural produce.
