Pro-Farmer Tip: Always use dung and urine from indigenous humped cattle (Bos indicus) such as Gir, Sahiwal, Red Sindhi, Tharparkar, or Kankrej. Indigenous cow urine contains significantly higher concentrations of auric salts, carbolic acid, and active nitrogen compounds compared to exotic Holstein-Friesian or Jersey cattle.

Step-by-Step Preparation Protocol

Follow this chronologically verified method to ensure maximum bio-efficacy and microbial viability.

1
Step 1

Crush 500g pungent chillies, 500g garlic, and 5 kg neem leaves into a fine paste.

2
Step 2

Place the paste into an earthen or stainless steel pot containing 20 liters of desi cow urine.

3
Step 3

Boil the mixture gently on a slow fire for 45 minutes until 4 to 5 boils occur.

4
Step 4

Remove from flame, cover with a cloth, and allow to cool and ferment in shade for 48 hours.

5
Step 5

Filter the dark, pungent decoction through a fine cloth. Store in airtight glass or HDPE plastic bottles.

Field Application Schedule

Recommended timing, dilution ratios, and irrigation synchrony.

Dilute 2 to 2.5 liters of Agniastra concentrate in 100 liters of water (approx. 350 ml per 16-liter knapsack sprayer).
Spray thoroughly ensuring spray droplets cover both the upper and lower surfaces of leaves and terminal shoots.
Wear protective glasses or face covering during spraying, as the capsaicin-garlic vapors can irritate eyes and nose.

Scientific Mode of Action

ICAR & bio-chemical mechanism explaining field results.

Capsaicin and diallyl disulfide (allicin) cause severe chemical burns to the soft spiracles (breathing pores) of caterpillars. The pungent vapor drives hidden stem borers out of crop stems into the open where they dehydrate and perish.
Agronomic & Economic Benefits
Fast-acting knockdown effect within 12 to 24 hours of spraying on heavily infested crops.
Destroys pink bollworm larvae in cotton before they bore deep into developing bolls.
Prevents oviposition: moths and adult butterflies will not lay eggs on Agniastra-sprayed foliage.
