Mode of Action
Azadirachtin interferes with insect endocrine systems, disrupting molting and reproduction. It reduces feeding and prevents oviposition (egg-laying), gradually suppressing pest populations over time.

| Brinjal | Fruit Borer | 1000 – 1500 | 500 | 3 |
Dosage corresponds to 1.0 to 1.5 Liters per hectare. The waiting period (PHI) is 3 days for both crops.
Application Instructions
1. Mixing
Mix the required quantity of Azadirachtin 1% EC in a small volume of water to create an emulsion before adding it to the main spray tank. Stir thoroughly. Use the mixture immediately; do not store overnight.
2. Timing of Application
Apply at the first sign of pest activity or as a preventive measure. As a botanical product sensitive to UV degradation, spraying in the late evening is highly recommended for maximum efficacy.
