What to include: Paired dose and water, 24-hour re-entry and the correct crop PHI.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- 🍃Leaf-penetrating action: Translaminar movement helps reach susceptible pests on the other side of a treated leaf.
- 🐛Chewing-pest coverage: Crop-specific uses include borers, diamondback moth, tobacco caterpillar and semilooper.
- 🌶️Thrips control: Thrips are included in the listed chilli, brinjal, okra and tomato uses.
- 🎯Two exposure routes: Susceptible insects can be affected through contact with the treatment or ingestion.
- 🫘Pulse pod-borer coverage: The red-gram scope includes spotted pod borer and pod borer; its harvest interval requires pack confirmation.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Fluxametamide belongs to IRAC Group 30 and acts on the insect nervous system.
- Contact or feeding exposes the pest: The insect takes in the active ingredient through contact with treatment or feeding on treated tissue.
- Nerve regulation is blocked: Fluxametamide disrupts a channel that normally helps regulate nerve signals.
- Normal movement fails: Uncontrolled nerve activity disrupts coordinated muscle function and controls susceptible insects.
Rotate with suitable products from different mode-of-action groups within a crop-specific resistance-management programme. Changing trade names alone is not a rotation.

Acre figures are approximate conversions; the original hectare quantities remain shown.
*No separate per-litre rate is provided here. Do not calculate a tank concentration from the area dose. PHI means the minimum interval between the last treatment and harvest.
Red gram: the harvest interval is not established here. Confirm the current supplied label before application or harvest planning; do not use another crop’s 5-day interval for red gram.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Application method: Use a high-volume foliar sprayer, such as a knapsack, Taiwan or foot sprayer, for thorough and uniform crop coverage.
- Preparation: Measure the product, mix it first with a small amount of water, then add the remaining crop-specific water with thorough agitation.
- Pest threshold: Apply when pests reach the economic threshold, rather than on an unsupported calendar date.
- Repeat treatments: The leaflet permits 2–3 sprays at 7–14-day intervals depending on infestation. Follow the current pack and resistance-management programme.
- Weather: Use clear, calm conditions. Avoid strong wind, imminent rain, hot weather and moisture-stressed crops.
- Re-entry and harvest: Re-entry is 24 hours after spraying. The five vegetable crops have a 5-day PHI; red gram needs its current PHI confirmed separately.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Gracia control both sucking and chewing pests?Yes, within the crop-specific list. These include thrips and leafhoppers as well as the named borers and caterpillars; it is not a claim for every pest on every crop.
What is the product and water quantity?The listed six-crop rate is 400 ml/ha in 500 L/ha water, approximately 161.9 ml in 202.3 L per acre.
Is the red-gram harvest interval 5 days?Do not assume that. The red-gram PHI needs confirmation from the current supplied label before use; the other five listed crops have a 5-day interval.
What does translaminar action mean?The treatment can move through the leaf tissue, helping reach susceptible pests on the opposite leaf surface. Good spray coverage is still necessary.
When can workers re-enter?The leaflet specifies 24 hours after spraying. Use the protective equipment and all other precautions on the pack.
