Milthion is a non-systemic insecticide that works through three powerful methods to ensure no pest escapes.

1. Contact Poison: The moment the liquid touches the insect's skin, it penetrates the cuticle.
2. Stomach Poison: When pests eat treated leaves, the chemical enters their digestive system.
3. Nervous System Failure: It inhibits the Cholinesterase enzyme. This causes the insect's nerves to fire uncontrollably, leading to paralysis and death.

Note: It also acts as a mild fumigant, helping the gas penetrate dense foliage to reach hiding insects.

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 in the cool hours of the morning or preferably late evening to avoid harming honeybees.
• Mixing: Do not mix with alkaline products like Bordeaux mixture or Lime Sulphur, as they reduce efficacy.
• Fogging: For mosquito control, use a thermal fogging machine with Diesel (1:19 ratio) at dusk when mosquitoes are active.
• Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Malathion has a strong smell; ensure good ventilation.
