Product scienceHow It Works: Mode of Action

Korko uses a powerful synergistic mechanism to break pest resistance. It attacks the pest's nervous system through two different pathways, making it highly effective against pests that have survived other sprays.

  1. Nerve Paralysis (Dual Attack): Profenofos causes nerve hyper-excitation (tremors), while Emamectin causes paralysis. The pest stops moving and feeding almost immediately.
  2. Translaminar Action (Deep Penetration): Upon spraying, the chemical penetrates the leaf surface. Pests hiding underneath or mining inside the leaf (like Fall Armyworm) are killed when they eat the tissue.
  3. Ovicidal Property (Egg Killer): Profenofos destroys pest eggs before they hatch, breaking the population cycle and preventing future outbreaks.

This triple-threat approach (Contact, Stomach, and Ovicidal) ensures complete cleaning of the field.

How to applyDosage & Application Guide

The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results. The 150g pack is designed specifically for 0.5 Acres.

*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting to ensure the crop is safe for consumption.

Useful detailsHow to Apply: Best Practices
  • Timing: Apply at the first sign of pest infestation (ETL). For best results, spray during the early morning or late evening to avoid high temperatures and bee activity.
  • Mixing: Dissolve the 150g granules in a separate bucket with 2-3 liters of water first to create a solution, then add this to your main spray tank.
  • Coverage: Ensure thorough coverage of the plant. For Maize/Fall Armyworm, direct the nozzle into the leaf whorl (funnel).
  • Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Avoid using highly alkaline water.
