Himawari

• ⏱️ Instant Knockdown (Shock Effect): Stops pests from feeding immediately upon contact, preventing further crop damage.
• ?️ Double Engine Power (Synergism): The combination of two chemicals works better than using them separately, effectively killing pests that have developed resistance to ordinary sprays.
• ⏳ Kills Hidden Enemies (Translaminar): It penetrates the leaf surface to kill pests hiding on the underside (like aphids and mites) where normal sprays can't reach.
• ?️ Ovicidal Action (Kills Eggs): It destroys pest eggs before they hatch, breaking the reproductive cycle and preventing future outbreaks.
• ? Mite Control: Unlike many other caterpillar medicines, Himawari also controls mites, saving you the cost of a separate acaricide.

Himawari attacks the insect's nervous system from two different angles, ensuring they cannot survive.

1. Contact & Stomach Action: As soon as the insect touches the spray or eats a treated leaf, the chemical enters its body.
2. Nervous System Overload: Profenofos blocks critical enzymes (AChE), while Cypermethrin keeps nerve channels open. This causes the insect to suffer tremors, paralysis, and death.
3. Translaminar Reach: The chemical moves through the leaf tissue to kill pests hiding on the underside (abaxial surface) that were not hit directly by the spray.

The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results.

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

• Timing: Spray in the late afternoon or evening to protect bees and prevent the sun from breaking down the chemical. Start spraying when pest population crosses Economic Threshold Level (ETL).
• Mixing: Use clean water. Do not mix with highly alkaline substances (like Bordeaux mixture). Ensure the emulsion is milky white.
• Coverage: Ensure thorough coverage of the plant canopy. For cotton, use at least 200 liters of water per acre with a Knapsack sprayer to reach lower leaves.
• Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Avoid inhaling the spray mist.
