Konatsu

• ⏱️ Rapid "Stop-Feeding" Action: Pests stop eating your crop within minutes of contact, instantly preventing further damage even before they die.
• ?️ Translaminar Movement: The liquid penetrates deep into the leaf tissue, killing hidden pests (like thrips) on the underside of the leaves that regular sprays miss.
• ⏳ Long-Lasting Protection: Provides extended residual control for 10 to 14 days, reducing the need for frequent re-spraying.
• ?️ Excellent Rainfastness: Absorbs quickly into the plant and becomes resistant to rain wash-off within just 2 to 4 hours.
• ? Green & Safe: A "Blue Label" product derived from natural fermentation. It is safer for the applicator and friendly to the crop (no leaf burn).

Konatsu operates differently from traditional poisons, making it highly effective against pests that have developed resistance to other chemicals.

1. Double Entry: It enters the insect's body through contact (spraying) and ingestion (stomach poison when they eat treated leaves).
2. Nervous System Overload: It binds to specific sites (nAChR and GABA) in the insect's nervous system, causing uncontrolled muscle tremors.
3. Instant Paralysis: The insect becomes paralyzed and stops feeding immediately, ensuring your crop is safe even before the pest dies.

Note: Because it works differently (Group 5), it is an excellent tool for rotating with other insecticides to prevent resistance.

The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results.

*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting. Note that vegetables like Brinjal/Okra typically have a short PHI of 3 days.

• Timing: Apply at the Economic Threshold Level (ETL)—for Thrips, this is 5-10 pests per leaf. For best results on borers, spray during flower initiation to early fruiting.
• Mixing: Fill the spray tank with half the required water. Pre-mix the Konatsu dose in a small bucket of water, pour it into the tank, and add the remaining water.
• Coverage: Use a "Hollow Cone" nozzle to create a fine mist. Ensure the underside of leaves is covered, as this is where thrips hide.
• Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Avoid spraying when bees are foraging (spray late in the evening).

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.
