Product Overview

• Formulation: A suspension concentrate (SC) containing two active ingredients: Imidacloprid (120 g/L) and Spirotetramat (120 g/L).

• Action:

  • Imidacloprid: A neonicotinoid that disrupts pests' nervous systems.

  • Spirotetramat: A keto-enol compound that inhibits lipid biosynthesis (IRAC Group 23) and moves both upward and downward in the plant (“2-way systemic”)

Target Pests & Crops

• Pests Controlled: Effective against a broad spectrum of sucking insects including aphids, whiteflies, thrips, mealybugs, scales, and mites.

• Crops Recommended: Used on crops like cotton, mango, grapes, okra, brinjal (eggplant), chilli, apple, shallot, corn, guava, orange, potato, coffee, cabbage, mango, melon, rambutan, watermelon, tobacco, and tomato.

Application Guidelines

Usage Strategy

• Best applied as a preventive treatment during early infestation stages for optimal efficacy.

• Ensure complete foliage coverage (including undersides of leaves) to facilitate uptake and 2-way systemic distribution .

Example Dosages & Pre-Harvest Intervals (PHI)

Crop	Target Pests	Dosage (per Ha / L water)	PHI
Brinjal	Aphids, Whiteflies, Mites	~500 ml / 500 L	5 days
Okra	Aphids, Whiteflies, Mites	~600 ml / 500 L	3 days
Chilli	Thrips, Aphids	~400 ml / 500 L	5 days
Grapes	Mealybugs, Mites	~700 ml / 500–1000 L	60 days
Cotton	Aphids, Whiteflies, Thrips	~700 ml / 500 L	52 days

Why It’s Effective

• Two-way systemicity (via xylem and phloem) ensures the insecticide reaches both existing and newly developing plant tissues—providing comprehensive protection against hidden pests.

• Dual modes of action—fast neural knockdown from imidacloprid, and growth suppression via lipid biosynthesis inhibition from spirotetramat—enhance both short-term and long-term pest control.

• IPM compatibility: Less harmful to beneficial insects, making it suitable in integrated pest management systems.
