Product scienceHow It Works: Mode of Action

Minecto Xtra uses a synergistic "Hammer and Anvil" strategy to break pest resistance:

  1. Immediate Paralysis (The Hammer): Cyantraniliprole targets the nervous system (Ryanodine Receptors), causing uncontrolled calcium release. This paralyzes the insect muscles instantly, stopping all damage.
  2. Growth Inhibition (The Anvil): Lufenuron stops the synthesis of Chitin (insect skin). This prevents larvae from molting into the next stage, effectively killing them.
  3. Reproductive Stop: It sterilizes adult female moths and kills eggs on contact, ensuring the population does not bounce back.

This dual mechanism makes it highly effective against pests that have developed resistance to other chemicals.

How to applyDosage & Application Guide

The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results. Note: Maize requires a much higher dose than Rice.

How to applyDosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
CropDose (ml / Acre)Water (L / Acre)Dose (ml / Litre)PHI (Days)
Rice20 ml200 L0.1 ml21-25 Days
Maize80 ml200 L0.4 ml-
Tomato / Chilli60 - 80 ml200 L0.3 - 0.4 ml7 - 14 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 during the early vegetative stage (30-45 days after transplanting for Rice) or when pests first appear (Knee-high stage for Maize).
  • Mixing: This is a Suspension Concentrate (SC). Shake the bottle well before use. Pre-mix the required dose in a small bucket of water before adding to the main tank.
  • Coverage: Use 200 Litres of water per acre. For Maize, direct the nozzle into the whorl (center) of the plant. For Rice, ensure the spray penetrates the canopy.
  • Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Do not spray near fish ponds as it is toxic to aquatic life.
