·         Key Features & Benefits:

Ø  Mode of Action: Acts as an acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor, disrupting the insect's nervous system to paralyze and kill pests rapidly.

Ø  Crop Target: Primarily used in paddy fields, but also highly effective for fruits (like mango) and vegetables.

Ø  Residual Effect: Provides a strong knockdown effect combined with moderate residual control.

·         Crops suitability: Rice (Paddy), Cotton, Vegetables, Fruit, Trees, Tea, Ornamentals

·         Commonly used for (Insect / Diseases):

Ø  Rice / Paddy: Brown Plant Hopper (BPH), Green Leaf Hopper (GLH), White-Backed Plant Hopper, and Rice Stem Borers.

Ø  Cotton & Vegetables: Aphids, Thrips, Jassids, and Bollworms.

Ø  Fruits / Cash Crops: Mango hoppers, Tea mosquito bugs, and Citrus pests.

·         Mode of entry:

Ø  Contact Action: The chemical kills insects upon direct physical contact by absorbing through their cuticle (exoskeleton).

Ø  Stomach Action: It enters the insect's digestive system when they feed on treated plant tissues.

·         Mode of action:

Ø  Enzyme Inhibition: It inhibits the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE) within the pest's nervous system.

Ø  Nerve Disruption: By blocking this enzyme, the neurotransmitter acetylcholine builds up at the nerve synapses.

Ø  Paralysis and Death: This causes continuous, uncontrolled nerve impulse transmissions, which result in rapid paralysis and the eventual death of the insect.

·         Mode of application: Foliar spray

·         Dose: 2ml per 1 liter water or 30ml in 15-liter water

·         Additional information:

Ø  Formulation: As an Emulsifiable Concentrate (EC), it mixes readily with water to spread uniformly over crop foliage and stems, maximizing physical contact with the pests.

Ø  Activity: It works as both a contact poison (absorbed directly through the insect's cuticle) and a stomach poison (ingested while the pest feeds on plant sap).

Ø  Target Pests: It is highly effective against sucking and chewing insects, particularly Brown Plant Hoppers (BPH) and Green Leaf Hoppers (GLH) in rice paddy fields.
