Hirota

• ⏱️ Immediate Protection: Starts working the moment the seed hits the soil. It eliminates the "lag time" where viruses (like Leaf Curl) usually infect the crop.
• ?️ Double Action Mode: Acts as a neurotoxin to kill pests instantly while simultaneously boosting the plant's natural defense systems.
• ⏳ Long-Lasting Control: Provides a "Zone of Protection" for 30 to 45 days, saving you the cost of the first two insecticide sprays.
• ?️ Rain & Weather Proof: Since the medicine is absorbed inside the plant (systemic), it cannot be washed away by rain or irrigation.
• ? The "Vigor Effect": Hirota promotes thicker stems, deeper roots, and greener leaves, helping crops survive drought and salinity stress better.

Hirota works via a systemic pathway, turning the plant itself into a fortress against pests.

1. Rapid Absorption: Upon sowing, the high water solubility of Thiamethoxam allows it to dissolve quickly in soil moisture and be absorbed by the roots.
2. Acropetal Translocation: The chemical moves upward through the xylem (water tubes) to the stem and leaves, covering new growth as it appears.
3. Nervous System Shutdown: When a pest (like an Aphid or Termite) feeds on the plant, the chemical blocks their nerve receptors (nAChR), leading to paralysis and death.

Additionally, it triggers stress-response proteins in the plant, enhancing growth even in tough weather conditions.

The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Kg of Seed" for accurate results. Seed treatment volume depends on seed size, not land area directly.

*Est Dose/Acre is calculated based on standard seed rates. PHI is Not Applicable as this is a pre-sowing treatment.

• Timing: Apply the treatment just before sowing (or within a few weeks before if stored properly).
• Mixing (Slurry Method): Do not apply pure chemical directly. Mix the Hirota dose with a small amount of water (Slurry) as per the table above. Pour this slurry over the seeds in a plastic drum or bag and shake vigorously.
• Coverage: Ensure every seed is uniformly coated red/pink. Patchy coverage means poor protection.
• Drying: Dry the seeds in the shade on a plastic sheet for 30 minutes. Do not dry in direct sunlight as it degrades the chemical.
• Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.

Always read and follow the instructions on the official product label. The information provided here is for guidance only. Use personal protective equipment (PPE) during application. Note: Thiamethoxam is toxic to honeybees; avoid dust drift to flowering weeds.
