Technical Specifications & Action
- Active Ingredient: Deltamethrin 11% w/w EC (Emulsifiable Concentrate)
- Mode of Action: Acts via contact and ingestion. It penetrates the insect cuticle quickly due to high lipophilicity, disrupting nerve transmission by modifying sodium channel kinetics on the axon, leading to paralysis and rapid mortality.
- Key Features: Provides a fast knockdown effect, rain-fastness, photo-stability, and repellent/anti-feeding properties.
Target Crops & Pests
- Rice: Leaf folder, stem borer, whorl maggot, and green leaf hopper (Dose: 40–60 ml per acre)
- Chilli: Thrips and fruit borer (Dose: 40–60 ml per acre)
- Onion & Tea: Thrips (Dose: 40–60 ml per acre)
- Cotton & Vegetables (Tomato/Okra): Bollworms and fruit borers
Application Guidelines
- Dilution: Generally mixed at around 0.5 ml per litre of water (or 40–60 ml per acre depending on crop guidelines).
- Timing: Apply at the early appearance of pests during morning or evening hours. Avoid application during high wind, active bee foraging, or close to aquaculture/water bodies.
- Safety: Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE); observe a re-entry interval of at least 24 hours.
