AgroStar Sikander (Spiromesifen 22.9% SC) 100 ml
AgroStar Sikander (Spiromesifen 22.9% SC) 100 ml
Sikander Insecticide / Acaricide by AgroStar | 100
ml
A contact insecticide/acaricide for the specified mite and
whitefly targets in the eight crops below. Confirm consistent current directions for the exact 22.9% SC product with AgroStar
before measuring or applying a numerical programme.
Target scope: Crop-specific mites and, in cotton and tomato, whitefly; not every
sucking pest.
Application route: Foliar spray. Do not substitute a soil, seed or other-strength
programme.
Before measuring: Confirm exact formulation strength, product/water pairing,
positive first timing, harvest and worker-entry restrictions together.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
-
🎯 Named mite and whitefly uses: Keeps each
pest paired to its specified crop rather than making an all-crop claim.
-
🍃 Foliar contact application: The source
describes a contact spray route, not systemic action or seed treatment.
-
🧬 Distinct insecticide group: Spiromesifen
is IRAC Group 23, supporting informed resistance planning without promising resistance-proof control.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Spiromesifen belongs to IRAC Group 23. Classification explains its
target site; it does not establish a crop dose, control duration or an alternative application route.
-
Acetyl-CoA carboxylase inhibition: The Group 23 target interferes with lipid biosynthesis in susceptible pests.
-
Contact acaricide/insecticide scope: Use only the exact crop–mite or crop–whitefly pairing. Do not turn the mechanism into an
immediate adult-knockdown, all-stage or fixed-persistence guarantee.
-
Resistance planning: Combine qualified crop advice and integrated management. Switching to another spiromesifen pack or brand does
not change the mode of action.

Application Requirements
| Requirement |
What to Confirm Before Use |
|---|---|
| Exact formulation |
Verify Sikander and the 22.9% SC strength on consistent current supplied directions before selecting any quantity. |
| Crop, pest and quantities |
Match the exact crop and pest above, formulated-product amount, water volume, treated area and foliar coverage. Do not borrow
another strength or brand. |
| First timing |
For brinjal, chilli and tea, the leaflet specifies treatment as soon as mite incidence is noticed. Obtain the exact positive
first trigger separately for the other crops. |
| Harvest, entry and repeats |
Confirm crop-specific harvest and worker-entry restrictions, any permitted repeat interval and maximum application count.
Unspecified values do not mean unrestricted use. |
Equipment is crop-specific: For brinjal, chilli and tea,
the leaflet names a knapsack with hollow-cone or triple-action nozzle. Apple names high-volume foot or power spray. Equipment does not
supply missing dose or first-timing instructions.
Compatibility: Confirm the exact mixing partner against
both current labels. A broad commonly-used-fungicides statement is not blanket permission for every mixture or
adjuvant.
How to Apply: Best Practices
-
Confirm identity and directions: Match the exact Sikander strength, crop and pest and obtain consistent complete instructions
before measuring product.
-
Keep timing crop-specific: Brinjal, chilli and tea use the stated mite-incidence trigger. Do not apply that instruction
automatically to apple, cotton, cucumber, okra or tomato.
-
Use the confirmed foliar method: Use crop-specific equipment, water and coverage directions. Do not improvise a tank concentration,
seed treatment or soil drench.
-
Check partners and exposure: Confirm any mixture individually, wear specified protective clothing and prevent skin, eye and
inhalation exposure. Do not mix with bare hands.
-
Record treatment and restrictions: Record crop, pest and application details, and follow the confirmed harvest and entry
restrictions. Do not create a routine repeat schedule from pest incidence.
Frequently Asked Questions
The own leaflet describes a contact insecticide/acaricide used as a foliar spray. Do not infer systemic movement, a seed route or a soil treatment.
No. Use only the exact crop–pest pairs listed. Whitefly is listed for cotton and tomato, not as a blanket claim for all eight crops.
No. The positive first-treatment statement specifically names brinjal, chilli and tea. Confirm the other crop-specific first timings before treatment.
Confirm consistent exact-strength product and water instructions with AgroStar before measuring. The 100 ml pack is a purchase quantity, not a tank dose or acreage guarantee.
No. Follow the product’s exposure and aquatic precautions. Confirm the exact proposed mixing partner against both current labels; broad compatibility wording does not approve every mixture.
Safety & Disclaimer
Before you use it: Read the current supplied pack label and leaflet. Match the crop, target,
formulation, route, first-treatment timing, product quantity, water or placement basis, harvest interval and worker-entry
restrictions. This overview does not replace the label or authenticate a batch.
The leaflet says to handle as poisonous and avoid contact or inhalation. Wear the specified protective
clothing, suitable chemical-resistant/nitrile gloves and eye protection, with respiratory protection where required by the
label or exposure assessment. Avoid spray mist, skin/eye contact, eating, drinking and smoking; wash after handling and clean
contaminated clothing before reuse.
Very toxic to aquatic organisms, with possible long-term aquatic harm. Prevent drift, spills, runoff
and washings entering drains, sewers, streams or other water. Keep children, animals and unprotected people away. A general
hazard-classification statement is not proof that the product is harmless.
Store locked in the tightly closed original container in a dry, cool, ventilated place away from food,
feed and direct sunlight. The SDS gives a storage range of 0°C to 40°C and requires protection from freezing and extreme
temperatures. Do not reuse containers; follow current label and authorised disposal requirements without contaminating soil or
water.
If exposure or illness occurs, stop work and seek prompt medical advice with the container or label.
Move away from exposure, remove contaminated clothing, wash affected skin and rinse exposed eyes with plenty of clean water
for at least 15 minutes. Do not induce vomiting, give anything by mouth to an unconscious person or attempt gastric lavage,
charcoal or antidote treatment yourself.
