How It Works: Mode of Action
Fotis acts by contact and feeding, disrupting insect nerve function. Do not use chlorpyrifos on ber, citrus or tobacco.
-
Match an allowed crop and target: Check the full current label and crop restrictions before treatment.
-
Pests contact or eat the treatment: Nichino India describes contact and stomach action.
-
Nerve control is disturbed: Chlorpyrifos interferes with the system that switches off insect nerve signals.
Use this product within a suitable crop-protection programme. Do not assume that a different brand has a different mode of action.

Dosage & Application Guide
Numerical application programmes are withheld because matching crop-specific carrier, method, treatment conditions and harvest requirements are not established here. Confirm the complete directions on the supplied Fotis pack before use.
Complete Programme Verification
Keep the crop-target programmes distinct: rice leaf folder differs from hispa and the gall-midge/stem-borer/whorl-maggot group; cotton cutworm differs from aphids, bollworms and whiteflies; sugarcane black bug, pyrilla and early-shoot/stalk-borer uses need separate confirmation; and groundnut aphids differ from root grub. The manufacturer’s sugarcane early-shoot/stalk-borer quantity remains specifically unresolved. No other-brand or generic formulation programme is substituted.
Product quantity, carrier and any concentration must be verified together with the crop-specific method, treatment condition and pre-harvest interval (PHI). The manufacturer page is not a complete current label. A missing PHI does not permit immediate harvest.
No tank dose is calculated. Confirm crop stage, method, equipment, repeat intervals, maximum applications, rainfast time and field re-entry on the supplied label. Do not combine this product with other inputs unless the complete directions allow it.
How to Apply: Best Practices
-
Match the crop and target: Identify the problem and check that the supplied label covers this exact crop use.
-
Use the correct method: Confirm the crop-specific placement and method on the supplied label before applying. The product page is not a complete application instruction.
-
Measure and prepare carefully: Follow the pack’s mixing and equipment instructions. Do not turn an acre quantity into a tank dose without the correct spray volume.
-
Respect safety and harvest directions: Use the label’s protective equipment, prevent drift and water contamination, and observe the required harvest and re-entry periods.
