Product details
Manik Insecticide by Rallis India
Acetamiprid 20% SP; the separate tea announcement needs formulation confirmation.
What it controls: Aphids, jassids and whitefly in cotton; aphids in cabbage and okra; thrips in chilli. Tea mosquito bug is separately announced at brand level; applicability to this 20% SP formulation remains unconfirmed.
When to use it: Confirm the sucking pest and crop. The current label must establish timing and application method.
What to include: Use the matching crop programme and current pack directions. Do not add a sticker, fertiliser or pesticide without a verified recommendation.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- 🌿Systemic and contact activity: Rallis describes both contact and systemic activity for Manik.
- 🍃Translaminar movement: Movement through treated leaves can expose pests on the underside; it does not replace appropriate coverage.
- 🌱Cotton sucking-pest scope: Cotton aphids, jassids and whitefly are supported, with whitefly kept separate in the dose table.
- 🥬Defined vegetable targets: Cabbage and okra aphids, and chilli thrips, are the listed vegetable uses.
- ⚙️A defined receptor target: Acetamiprid acts at nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in IRAC Group 4A; it is not an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor.
Technical Specifications
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Brand Name | Manik Insecticide | Rallis India |
| Technical Name | Acetamiprid 20% SP |

How It Works: Mode of Action
- Contact and internal exposure: The manufacturer describes contact, systemic and local translaminar activity.
- Nerve receptors are stimulated: Acetamiprid acts as an agonist at insect nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, disrupting normal message reception.
- Normal nerve function is disturbed: This excessive receptor stimulation impairs susceptible insects. Group 4A chemistry should be considered when selecting later treatments.
Compare IRAC groups, not just brands, when planning resistance management. A different brand with the same active ingredient is not a different mode of action. Use only approved crop options and local resistance-management advice.
Target Crops & Pests
Cotton, cabbage, okra and chilli follow the manufacturer’s Indian Manik product page. Tea is a separate brand-level announcement, not a confirmed use of this exact formulation. Every crop still requires complete current directions.
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Cotton |

| Cabbage |

| Okra |
|
| Chilli |

| Tea (announced scope) | Formulation applicability unconfirmed
Tata’s FY2025–26 report announces a Tata Manik label extension for tea mosquito bug, but gives no formulation or use programme. Do not treat this as verified approval for the 20% SP pack. |
Dosage & Application Guide
The quantities below are formulation-level references from the Indian CIBRC Major Uses compilation through 30 September 2025, not a current branded pack label or legal approval. Confirm each complete programme against the current pack before use.

*No independent label concentration has been confirmed. These are grams of 20% SP, not millilitres. Do not create a per-litre or 15-litre-tank recipe from the area references.
*Tea: exact formulation applicability, product dose, water, concentration, PHI, method, timing, re-entry and repeat limits are all unconfirmed. The brand announcement is not an application instruction; no tea quantities or methods are inferred from other crops or generic records.
Current-brand method, timing, re-entry and repeat limits are unconfirmed. Do not adopt soil drenching or extra crops from a retailer’s general description.
Acre figures are approximate conversions of the stated hectare quantities using 0.40468564224. Keep product and water paired. No per-litre or tank rate has been calculated from area rates.
PHI is the minimum time between the last treatment and harvest, not the worker re-entry interval. Follow current label and local restrictions; missing instructions must be resolved before application.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Check the full programme: Confirm the crop, target, method, timing, equipment and any repeat-treatment limits on the current label. The reference dose table alone does not establish a spray, drench or seed-treatment route.
- Measure by area: Use the crop’s product quantity and water volume together after calibrating the approved equipment. Do not use an arbitrary tank size to decide the dose.
- Avoid unintended exposure: Follow label weather precautions and prevent drift or runoff onto other crops, people, livestock and water bodies.
- Keep treatment records: Record the product, crop, rate and treatment date. Respect the crop-specific harvest interval and separately verify worker re-entry instructions.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is Manik measured in grams or millilitres?Manik 20% SP is a powder and the formulation references are in grams. A retailer table headed ml is not a valid basis for measuring it.
2. Does cotton have one rate for every pest?No. The formulation reference gives 50 g/ha for aphids and jassids, and 100 g/ha for whitefly; both use 500–600 L/ha water and 15 days PHI.
3. What are the vegetable harvest intervals?The formulation reference gives cabbage 7 days, okra 3 days and chilli 3 days. These remain subject to current pack verification.
4. Can it be used as a soil drench?A current Manik-specific drench programme has not been verified. Systemic activity alone does not authorise that route.
5. Can I mix it with other products?No blanket tank-mix compatibility is established here. Use a mixture only when the current labels and qualified crop advice support it; a physical jar test alone does not prove crop safety or legal approval.
