Meothrin (Fenpropathrin 30% EC) – Broad Spectrum Insecticide & Miticide

The "Double-Action" Solution for Cotton Bollworms and Tea Mites.

Meothrin 30% EC by Sumitomo Chemical is a powerful synthetic pyrethroid designed for the modern farmer. Unlike standard insecticides that only target worms, Meothrin offers a unique dual-action formula that eliminates both chewing insects (like Bollworms) and sucking pests (like Mites and Whiteflies) in a single spray.

Best For: Farmers seeking an economical, high-power "knockdown" solution for mixed pest attacks in Cotton, Tea, Chilli, and Vegetables.

Why farmers choose itWhy Choose This Product? Key Benefits
  • ⏱️ Instant Knockdown Power: Contains high-grade solvents (Xylene) that penetrate the pest's skin immediately, stopping damage within minutes of application.
  • ?️ 2-in-1 Protection (Insects + Mites): Functions as both an Insecticide and an Acaricide (Miticide). Ideal for crops like Tea and Chilli where mites and borers attack together.
  • ⏳ Highly Cost-Effective: With a low cost of approximately ₹277 per acre, it is the economic "workhorse" for vegetative and early reproductive crop stages.
  • ?️ Double Entry Action: Works through Contact (touch) and Stomach (ingestion) vectors, ensuring pests are killed whether they walk on the leaf or eat it.
  • ? Versatile Crop Safety: Registered and safe for use on major Indian crops including Cotton, Tea, Brinjal, Okra, and Chilli when used at recommended doses.

Product scienceHow It Works: Mode of Action

Meothrin targets the nervous system of the pest causing rapid paralysis.

  1. Contact & Stomach Entry: The chemical enters the pest through direct spray contact, walking on treated leaves, or eating the foliage.
  2. Nervous System Overload: Once inside, Fenpropathrin keeps the insect's sodium channels open, causing nerves to fire uncontrollably.
  3. Rapid Cessation: This results in tremors, immediate "knockdown," paralysis, and eventual death due to starvation and exhaustion.

Note: It also acts on the nervous system of mites, providing effective control against Red Spider Mites and Pink Mites.

How to applyDosage & Application Guide

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

How to applyDosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
CropDose (ml / Acre)Water (L / Acre)Dose (ml / Litre)PHI (Days)
Cotton100 - 136 ml300 - 400 L0.3 - 0.5 ml14 Days
Chilli / Okra / Brinjal100 - 136 ml200 - 300 L0.5 - 0.7 ml7 - 10 Days
Tea66 - 80 ml160 - 200 L0.4 - 0.5 ml7 Days

*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.

Useful detailsHow to Apply: Best Practices
  • Timing: Apply at "Square Formation" in cotton or at the first sign of mite incidence in Tea/Chilli. Avoid spraying during peak bee activity (mid-day).
  • Mixing: Do NOT mix with alkaline products like Bordeaux mixture or Lime Sulfur, as this destroys the chemical effectiveness.
  • Coverage: Ensure high water volume (300-400L for cotton) to penetrate the canopy and reach pests hiding on the underside of leaves or lower branches.
  • Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Re-entry to the field should be avoided for 48 hours.
