How It Works: Mode of Action
Lambda-cyhalothrin is a pyrethroid insecticide in IRAC Group 3A. It disrupts the normal operation of sodium channels in insect nerves, interfering with nerve signalling.
- Exposure: Susceptible pests encounter the treatment through contact or ingestion.
- Nerve disruption: Lambda-cyhalothrin changes sodium-channel behaviour in insect nerve cells.
- Pest control: Disrupted nerve signalling affects movement and feeding, leading to control of susceptible pests.
Changing to another brand with the same active ingredient does not change the mode of action. Follow the label and local resistance-management advice, alongside field monitoring.
Target Crops & Pests
The following crop and target pairings are supported by the checked Krishi Rasayan source. Confirm that the supplied current pack covers the intended use.
| Crop | Target Pests |

| Rice |

Keep each crop paired with its listed target. A target named for one crop is not a recommendation for every crop.
Dosage & Application Guide
The table uses the exact linked brand leaflet, with rounded acre equivalents and original hectare rates retained below.
Verified Dose, Water & Harvest Interval
| Crop / target | Product dose | Water volume | Method | PHI |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cotton | About 243–405 ml/acre | About 162–243 L/acre | Crop spray | 21 days |
| Rice | About 202 ml/acre | About 162–243 L/acre | Crop spray | 15 days |
Original LOC 2.5 leaflet directions: cotton 600–1,000 ml/ha; rice 500 ml/ha. Both use 400–600 L water/ha. These rates apply to each crop’s listed pests, with 21 days before cotton harvest and 15 days before rice harvest.
The linked leaflet gives a 48-hour re-entry period. Follow the supplied current pack and any stricter requirements. The listed water range is not a reason to invent a universal per-litre concentration.
Confirm the current label’s application timing, repeat interval, maximum number of uses, harvest interval and re-entry directions before treatment. Do not invent a per-litre or tank dose from an area quantity without the matching water instructions.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Check crop and pest: Choose the row matching both the crop and target pest. Confirm the exact strength on the pack before measuring.
- Calibrate the sprayer: Use the leaflet-listed equipment and measure the crop-specific product and water quantities for the actual area.
- Prevent off-target exposure: Avoid drift and contamination of water bodies. Observe all label protections for bees, fish and other non-target organisms.
- Plan follow-up safely: Record the treatment, observe the crop’s harvest interval and the pack re-entry period, and follow label repeat-use and resistance-management directions.
