Product scienceHow It Works: Mode of Action

Hercules uses a "Hammer and Anvil" strategy to ensure no pest survives. It combines two powerful methods:

  1. Vapor Action (The Hammer): Difenthiuron turns into a gas in sunlight. It penetrates hidden crevices, flower buds, and the undersides of leaves, blocking the pest's energy supply (mitochondria).
  2. Systemic Action (The Anvil): Acetamiprid enters the plant's system and moves upward. It protects new leaves and kills any pest that tries to suck the plant sap by attacking their nervous system.
  3. Synergy: Together, they kill pests that have developed resistance to older sprays like Imidacloprid or simple Pyrethroids.

How to applyDosage & Application Guide

The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results. High water volume (150-200 Litres) is crucial for success.

How to applyDosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
CropDose (g / Acre)Water (L / Acre)Dose (g / Litre)PHI (Days)
Cotton250g200 L1.25 g15-20
Chili250 - 300g150 - 200 L1.5 g5-7
Vegetables250g150 L1.5 g3-5

*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.

Useful detailsHow to Apply: Best Practices
  • Timing: Spray in the morning to allow sunlight to activate the Difenthiuron component. Avoid windy conditions.
  • Mixing: Premix the powder in a small bucket of water ("creaming") before adding it to the main tank to avoid lumps.
  • Coverage: Ensure full coverage of the foliage. The vapor action helps, but good coverage is essential for the systemic part to work.
  • Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
