How It Works: Mode of Action
Ethion is a non-systemic contact insecticide and acaricide that inhibits acetylcholinesterase in pests.
-
Deposit on foliage: Diluted treatment reaches the crop surfaces being sprayed.
-
Contact with pests: Ethion acts on susceptible insects and mites exposed to the treatment.
-
Nerve disruption: Inhibition of acetylcholinesterase disrupts normal nerve signals and leads to pest death.
Repeated use of the same mode of action can select resistant pests. Plan rotations with a qualified crop adviser and follow the label.

A pest listed for one crop is not a recommendation for every crop. Do not extend these uses to unlisted crops or targets.
Dosage & Application Guide
Numerical directions are withheld because the checked exact-brand source does not establish the positive first-treatment condition needed for a complete crop programme. Cotton also has unresolved product-quantity and harvest-interval distinctions. Confirm the crop, pest, treatment trigger, product quantity, carrier water, route, harvest interval and access conditions together on the supplied pack before treatment.
Complete Programme Verification
The exact-brand page lists crop-specific quantities and carrier guidance, but these do not establish the missing first-treatment condition. The qualitative route is diluted foliar application; retain each crop-and-pest pairing shown above without transferring one crop’s programme to another.
The cotton source row combines a formulation range with a separate bollworm active-ingredient amount; the exact bollworm product dose needs pack confirmation. Its bollworm harvest interval does not separately establish the whitefly interval. Do not assume they are the same. Confirm the entire matching programme; harvest intervals run from the final treatment.
No numerical field or tank recipe is supplied. Confirm crop-stage timing, repeat interval, maximum treatments and re-entry instructions on the pack; do not infer them from this overview.
How to Apply: Best Practices
-
Check first: Identify the crop and pest, inspect the current label and measure the area before mixing.
-
Cover the foliage: PI specifies foliar application. Confirm the complete crop-specific product quantity, carrier water and treatment condition, including the cotton qualifications, before mixing.
-
Protect yourself: Wear the pack-specified protective clothing, gloves, eye protection and footwear.
-
After treatment: Observe the harvest and re-entry restrictions. Keep a record of the product, crop, area and treatment date.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Fosmite contain?
Ethion 50% EC. It is an insecticide and acaricide, not a systemic crop treatment.
Which crops are listed?
Tea, cotton, chilli, gram, pigeon pea and soybean, only for the corresponding targets shown above.
Can a retailer’s harvest interval replace the supplied label?
No. Obtain the harvest interval as part of the complete matching crop programme. Do not use a shorter retailer value in place of the current pack label.
Why is part of the cotton advice withheld?
The brand page does not clearly separate the bollworm formulation dose and the whitefly harvest interval. In addition, a positive first-treatment condition is not established for the listed crop programmes. Confirm the complete matching directions on the pack before use.
Can I use a universal per-litre dose or add a sticker?
Neither a universal concentration nor an adjuvant is established here. Use the supplied label; do not borrow another retailer’s tank recipe or compatibility claim.

Wash exposed skin promptly after spills; change contaminated clothing and wash thoroughly after treatment and before eating or drinking. If exposure or poisoning is suspected, seek urgent medical care and show the pack; do not self-administer antidotes.
