8 topicsWhy farmers choose itWhy Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ⏱️ Quick Knock-Down Action: Isogashi attacks the insect's nervous system, paralyzing them and stopping crop damage immediately upon contact or feeding.
- ?️ Systemic Protection: It moves upward within the plant (acropetal action), protecting even the new leaves that grow after spraying.
- ⏳ Long-Lasting Control: Because it stays inside the plant system, it protects crops from pests like Brown Plant Hopper (BPH) for several weeks.
- ?️ Easy to Mix (SL Formulation): The Soluble Liquid (SL) formula dissolves completely in water, ensuring every drop contains the right amount of medicine without clogging nozzles.
- ? Highly Economical: With a low dosage requirement, the cost per acre is very affordable, making it a "Masstige" (Mass Prestige) product for all farmers.

Product scienceHow It Works: Mode of Action
Isogashi works by targeting the central nervous system of insects. It acts as a "false key" to the pest's nerve receptors.
- Absorption: When sprayed, the liquid is absorbed by leaves and roots and travels up the plant's water pipes (xylem).
- Feeding Block: When a pest sucks the plant sap, it ingests the chemical. The chemical binds to the insect's nerves, blocking normal signals.
- Elimination: The insect's nerves become over-excited, leading to paralysis, cessation of feeding, and eventual death due to energy exhaustion.
Note: This systemic action is excellent for reaching pests hiding under leaves or inside plant canopies.

How to applyDosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results. Using less water reduces effectiveness.
How to applyDosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cotton | 40 – 50 ml | 200 L | 0.25 ml | 40 Days |
| Paddy (Rice) | 40 – 50 ml | 200 L | 0.25 ml | 40 Days |
| Tomato / Okra | 60 – 100 ml | 200 L | 0.3 – 0.5 ml | 3 Days |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting. Note that Chillies have a PHI of 40 days, while Tomato is only 3 days.
Useful detailsHow to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Use preventatively or at the first sign of pests. For Bees safety, spray in the evening when pollinators are not active.
- Mixing: Fill the tank halfway with water, add the required dose of Isogashi, and mix well. Then fill the rest of the tank.
- Coverage: Ensure full coverage of foliage. For Paddy, direct the nozzle toward the base of the plant to target hoppers.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Avoid spraying during full bloom to protect honey bees.
Use with careSafety & Disclaimer
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. Isogashi acts as a neurotoxin; in case of accidental ingestion, seek medical help immediately (treatment is symptomatic).
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does Isogashi kill caterpillars or borers?
No. Isogashi is specialized for "sucking pests" (Aphids, Jassids, Hoppers). For borers or caterpillars, you need a different chemistry.
2. Can I use Isogashi on sugarcane?
Yes, but it is primarily used for Termite control in Sugarcane. The dosage is higher (approx. 140 ml/acre) and is applied as a soil drench or sett treatment.
3. Is it safe for Honey Bees?
Isogashi is toxic to bees. Do not spray when the crop is in full flower/bloom or during active bee foraging hours (morning).
4. What is the price of Isogashi?
It is very economical. A 500ml pack typically costs around ₹450, which brings the cost per acre to roughly ₹90, making it one of the most affordable options in the market.
5. Can I mix it with other fungicides?
Yes, Isogashi (SL formulation) is generally compatible with most common fungicides and fertilizers. However, always perform a small jar test before mixing a full tank.
