Meothrin Insecticide

• ⏱️ 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.

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.

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.

• 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.
