Product scienceHow It Works: Mode of Action
Kaitaku works on the Central Nervous System of insects. It mimics acetylcholine, a natural neurotransmitter, but cannot be broken down by the insect's enzymes.
- Absorption: The powder dissolves easily in water and is absorbed by the plant roots and leaves.
- Translocation: It travels up through the xylem to new shoots and leaves, ensuring the whole plant is toxic to pests.
- Paralysis & Death: When the pest sucks the sap, the chemical blocks their nerve signals, leading to hyper-excitation, paralysis, and death.
Note: This unique mode of action helps control pests that have developed resistance to older chemicals like Imidacloprid.

| Crop | Dose (g / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (g / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cotton | 50 - 100g | 200 L | 0.5g | 15 |

Useful detailsHow to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Spray immediately when pest population reaches the Economic Threshold Level (e.g., when you see 15-20% plants affected).
- Mixing: Dissolve the required quantity of Kaitaku in a small amount of water first, then add it to the full spray tank. Avoid mixing with highly alkaline chemicals like Bordeaux mixture.
- Coverage: Ensure thorough coverage of the foliage, especially the underside of leaves where sucking pests hide.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is Kaitaku effective against Whiteflies in Cotton?
Yes, it is highly effective. It acts as an ovicide (kills eggs) and adulticide, breaking the lifecycle of the whitefly and helping prevent Cotton Leaf Curl Virus (CLCuV).
2. Can I mix Kaitaku with other pesticides?
Yes, it is compatible with most common insecticides (like synthetic pyrethroids) and fungicides. However, do not mix it with alkaline products like Lime Sulphur.
3. Is it safe for bees?
Acetamiprid is safer for bees than Imidacloprid, but it is still toxic on direct contact. Avoid spraying during peak flowering times or when bees are actively foraging (spray in the evening).
4. What is the shelf life of this product?
The product has a shelf life of 2 years from the date of manufacture if stored in a cool, dry place.
5. Why is the PHI for Chilli only 3 days?
Kaitaku degrades relatively quickly in the plant system of vegetable crops, making it safe to harvest Chilli and Okra just 3 days after spraying.
