How It Works: Mode of Action
Spiromesifen interferes with the pest’s ability to make fats needed for normal growth and development.
-
Fat production is interrupted: The active ingredient inhibits a key enzyme in this process.
-
Developing stages are affected: Eggs and immature stages are an important part of its activity.
-
Pest development is checked: Reduced development and reproduction contribute to control of susceptible mites and whiteflies.
Do not expect every adult pest to disappear immediately. Identify the pest and stage, and follow a crop-specific programme using suitable action-group rotation.
Target Crops & Pests
Coromandel lists all seven crop-and-target combinations below. Confirm the intended use on the current supplied Insas label.
| Crop |
Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Brinjal |
|
| Cotton |
|
| Apple |
|
| Chilli |
|
| Tea |
|
| Okra |
|
| Tomato |
|
Okra is also called bhindi. A whitefly listing for cotton or tomato does not establish a whitefly recommendation for every other crop in this table.
Dosage & Application Guide
Numerical application programmes are withheld because the manufacturer booklet and separate formulation references do not establish complete current Insas directions with matching treatment conditions, method, carrier and harvest requirements. Verify these together on the supplied pack before use.
Complete Programme Verification
Keep all seven crop-and-target programmes distinct. Do not transfer product quantities, carrier requirements or harvest intervals between crops, or extend a whitefly use to a crop listed only for mites.
The manufacturer booklet limits the authority of its recommendations and is not the supplied current label. Do not combine its product quantities with water or waiting periods from generic formulation references. Missing harvest intervals do not permit immediate harvest.
No per-litre or tank rate is derived. Confirm application method, crop-stage timing, repeats, maximum applications, rainfast time, field-entry interval and permitted mixtures from the current label.
How to Apply: Best Practices
-
Identify the pest and crop: Distinguish the listed mite problem from other damage and check for eggs and immature stages.
-
Check the matching programme: Confirm Insas 22.9% SC and use the current label’s paired crop, target, dose and water quantity.
-
Apply only as directed: Follow the label’s mixing sequence, equipment, application method and timing. Avoid highly acidic or alkaline mixtures. Do not assume compatibility with other products.
-
Plan harvest and follow-up: Observe the crop-specific harvest and entry intervals. Monitor control and follow the label’s repeat-treatment limits and a suitable rotation plan.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Insas contain?
Insas contains spiromesifen 22.9% SC, a suspension concentrate.
Does Insas control whiteflies in every listed crop?
No. Coromandel’s whitefly listings here are for cotton and tomato. Other rows list specific mites.
Which pest stages are important?
The manufacturer highlights eggs and immature stages, including nymphs. Do not judge its performance only by immediate adult knockdown.
Is the waiting period the same in apple and tomato?
Do not assume it is. Confirm each crop’s current supplied-label harvest interval before treatment and harvesting; do not borrow an interval from another crop.
Can I calculate a tank dose from separate product references?
Do not improvise a tank concentration. Use the current pack’s complete crop-specific rate, water quantity and application directions.
