Lambda-Cyhalothrin is an IRAC Group 3A sodium-channel modulator. It disrupts normal nerve-signal transmission in susceptible insects after label-directed exposure. The Government of India formulation label describes Lambda-Cyhalothrin 2.5% EC as having contact, stomach and residual activity.

A mode-of-action group describes the biochemical target; it does not guarantee control. Correct pest identification, treatment timing, coverage, calibrated equipment and resistance stewardship remain essential. The product is not described here as systemic, and no universal preventive-use claim is made.

The figures above reproduce Nichino's current product webpage and are not converted into ml per litre, pump coverage or acres per pack. Confirm them against the current physical Cheetah label and leaflet before use; the pack wins if it differs.

• Confirm the crop, target pest and economic need before opening the pack. Do not use Cheetah as an automatic calendar spray.
• Measure the treated area accurately. Follow the current pack for spray-water volume, crop and pest stage, equipment, nozzle, number of applications, re-entry and PHI.
• Use clean, calibrated foliar-spray equipment and obtain the coverage required by the label. Prevent drift onto non-target crops and vegetation.
• Do not derive a universal ml-per-litre or pump rate from this page. The correct concentration depends on the label-directed field rate and water volume.
• No universal tank-mix or compatibility claim is made. Combine products only when the current labels or an authorised local recommendation explicitly permit that exact mixture.

• Avoid repeated reliance on Lambda-Cyhalothrin or other IRAC Group 3A insecticides alone.
• Use field scouting, economic thresholds and non-chemical controls where practical.
• If another treatment is justified, choose a separately applied product with a different effective IRAC group whose own current Indian label independently covers the crop and target pest.
• Other Lambda-Cyhalothrin 2.5% EC products are same-group substitutes, not resistance rotations.

• Read the current label and leaflet before opening. Wear all PPE specified on the pack while measuring, mixing, spraying and cleaning equipment.
• Avoid inhalation, ingestion and contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Do not eat, drink, smoke or chew while handling the product.
• Prevent spray drift, runoff and contamination of ponds, drains, wells, irrigation channels and aquaculture. Avoid exposing people, animals, bees and other non-target organisms.
• Store locked in the original labelled container, away from children, food, feed and medicines. Never reuse an empty pesticide container.
• If exposure or poisoning is suspected, follow the pack's first-aid directions, obtain medical help promptly and show the label. Do not invent or self-administer an antidote.

Always read and follow the current official Nichino Cheetah label and leaflet. The physical pack is the final authority for crop, pest, rate, spray-water volume, timing, application method, maximum applications, re-entry, PHI, PPE, first aid, environmental precautions, storage and disposal. This page does not replace the label, current Indian regulation or qualified local agronomic advice.
