Jackal Insecticide | Lambda-cyhalothrin 4.9% CS
A contact and stomach insecticide for the listed crop-specific borers, thrips and other insect pests.
What it controls: A contact and stomach insecticide for the listed crop-specific borers, thrips and other insect pests.
When to use it: Identify the crop and target problem first, then follow the timing on the supplied Indian label.
What to include: Check the crop-specific dose, application method, water volume and harvest interval before treatment.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- 🎯Several defined insect targets: The manufacturer lists borers, thrips and other pests across eight crops. Use the exact crop–target pairing rather than treating the list as interchangeable.
- 🛡️Contact activity: Susceptible insects can be affected when they contact the treatment. As a non-systemic insecticide, correct placement is important.
- 🍽️Activity through feeding: Insects can also take in the active ingredient during feeding. This stomach action supports control of the listed targets when used as labelled.
- ⚡Knockdown activity: Dhanuka describes rapid knockdown of susceptible insects. No fixed speed of kill or length of protection is promised here.
- 🔎Clear formulation and group: The 4.9% CS formulation and Group 3A classification help distinguish Jackal from other lambda-cyhalothrin products and plan resistance management.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Jackal contains lambda-cyhalothrin, a non-systemic pyrethroid. It acts by contact and ingestion, affecting the insect’s nervous system. Non-systemic means it is not a product whose main action depends on movement throughout the plant.
- The insect encounters treatment: Contact or feeding exposes a susceptible insect to the product after the correct labelled application. Use the crop-specific route on the pack.
- Nerve signals are disturbed: Lambda-cyhalothrin changes the way sodium channels work in insect nerves. These channels help carry normal nerve impulses.
- The pest loses normal movement: Disrupted nerve activity can cause knockdown, paralysis and death. Continue field inspection instead of assuming all hidden stages or new infestations are controlled.
Use the IRAC group information to plan resistance management with qualified crop advice. A different brand with the same mode of action is not a different resistance-management option.

Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |

Do not use this description alone to decide a dose or application method. Read the current label and leaflet supplied with the product before use.
*Dose, application method, water volume and harvest interval must be checked together for your crop. No numerical programme is provided here because these complete directions are unavailable.
PHI means the minimum time between the last treatment and harvest. It is not a repeat-treatment interval or a worker re-entry period. An unknown PHI does not mean immediate harvesting is allowed.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Check the crop and problem: Match the actual crop and identified pest or disease to the supplied label. Do not choose a pesticide only from the appearance of damaged leaves.
- Confirm the complete directions: Before measuring any product, confirm the dose, application method, water quantity, permitted timing and harvest interval for that crop.
- Measure and prepare correctly: Use the measuring equipment and preparation instructions given on the pack. Do not use kitchen utensils, mix by hand or turn a pack size into an assumed acreage dose.
- Protect people and nearby water: Wear the protective clothing, gloves, eye protection and other equipment required by the label. Keep people, livestock, food, feed and water sources away from handling and treatment.
- Record and review the treatment: Record the product, crop, area and application date. Use the label’s re-entry and harvest restrictions, and assess the crop before deciding whether another treatment is needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is Jackal the same as lambda-cyhalothrin 5% EC?No. Jackal is lambda-cyhalothrin 4.9% CS, a capsule suspension. Another strength or formulation can have different directions. Do not transfer an EC product’s rate or method to this product.
2. Which paddy and tomato pests are listed?The listed paddy targets are stem borer and leaf folder. Tomato is listed for borers; confirm the exact borer pest and use directions on the current pack.

4. Can I use Jackal in the home or against mosquitoes?This description covers agricultural crop uses only. It does not provide household, structural or public-health treatment directions.
5. Does quick knockdown mean I can harvest soon?No. Speed of action does not determine harvest safety. Follow the crop’s label harvest interval, worker-entry restrictions and repeat-treatment limits.
