Product Information
Mode of Action
Alpha Cypermethrin affects the sodium ion channels in insect nerve cells, causing prolonged depolarization. This results in nerve impulse disruption, leading to paralysis, convulsions, and the death of the target pests.
Target Pests
- Boll Worms
Recommended Dosage
| Crop | Target Pest | Dosage (ml/ha) | Water (L/ha) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cotton | Boll Worms | 165 – 280 | 600 – 1000 |
Dosage refers to ml per hectare. Higher water volume (up to 1000L) is recommended for dense canopies like cotton to ensure effective contact.
Application Instructions
1. Mixing
This product is an Emulsifiable Concentrate (EC). Add the required quantity slowly to a half-filled tank of water while agitating. The mixture will turn into a milky white emulsion. Fill the rest of the tank with water.
2. Timing of Application
Apply at the first sign of Boll Worm infestation (egg laying or early larval stages). Ensure thorough coverage of the plant, including the undersides of leaves and bolls, for maximum knockdown effect.
Safety Precautions
Warning: Synthetic Pyrethroid. Highly toxic to aquatic organisms and bees. Avoid spraying near water bodies. May cause skin paresthesia (tingling/numbing) upon contact; wear gloves, mask, and long sleeves during application.
