Product Information
Mode of Action
Azadirachtin disrupts insect hormonal systems, specifically interfering with molting (ecdysone), growth, and reproduction. It acts as a strong antifeedant and oviposition deterrent (prevents egg-laying), leading to a gradual but effective decline in pest populations.
Target Pests
- American Bollworm (Helicoverpa armigera)
Recommended Dosage
| Crop | Target Pest | Dosage (ml/ha) | Water (L/ha) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cotton | American Bollworm | 4000 (4 Liters) | 1000 |
Note: Calculated as 4 ml per Liter of water. Dosage is approximately 4 Liters per hectare in 1000 Liters of water.
Application Instructions
1. Mixing
Mix the required quantity of Azadirachtin EC with a small amount of water to form an emulsion, then add to the main spray tank. Stir well. Do not store the mixed solution for long periods; use immediately.
2. Timing of Application
Apply as a prophylactic or at the early larval stage (1st or 2nd instar). Because neem degrades in UV light, evening application is highly recommended for best results.
Safety Precautions
Eco-Friendly: This product is safe for beneficial insects (predators and pollinators) and the environment. However, general safety precautions (gloves, mask) should still be observed during handling. Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI) is generally 0 days.
