Key Uses
Target Pests
This formulation is effective against a variety of pests, including:
• Sucking insects: Aphids, jassids, whiteflies, and thrips.
• Chewing insects: Lepidopteran larvae (e.g., bollworms, armyworms), beetles, and cutworms.
• Mites: Certain mite species.
Suitable Crops
The insecticide is suitable for use on various crops, such as:

Mode of Action
• Lambda-cyhalothrin: A synthetic pyrethroid that acts on the nervous system of insects, causing paralysis and death. It is known for its rapid knockdown effect.
• Carbosulfan: A carbamate insecticide that inhibits cholinesterase, leading to the accumulation of acetylcholine and subsequent disruption of nerve impulses in pests.
The combination of these two compounds provides both contact and systemic action, enhancing efficacy against a wide range of pests.
Application Guidelines
• Method: Apply as a foliar spray using appropriate spraying equipment to ensure thorough coverage.
• Dosage: While specific application rates can vary based on crop and pest pressure, always refer to the product label for precise instructions.
• Timing: Apply at the onset of pest infestation and repeat as necessary, adhering to recommended intervals and maximum application limits.
Safety and Environmental Considerations
• Toxicity: This product is toxic to aquatic organisms and bees. Avoid application near water bodies and during peak pollinator activity.
• Protective Measures: Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) during mixing and application.
