Product scienceHow It Works: Mode of Action

Nayak targets the nervous system of the insect. It is a non-systemic insecticide that works through direct contact.

  1. Penetration: The EC formulation dissolves the waxy outer layer of the insect, allowing the poison to enter immediately.
  2. Nerve Attack: The chemical binds to sodium channels in the insect's nerves, keeping them open. This causes continuous nerve firing (shocks).
  3. Paralysis & Death: The pest loses coordination, suffers paralysis ("Knockdown"), and dies from starvation or dehydration.

*Note: It is more effective in cooler temperatures (Early Morning or Late Evening sprays).

How to applyDosage & Application Guide

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.

Useful detailsHow to Apply: Best Practices
  • Timing: Apply as soon as pest population crosses the economic threshold (when you see larvae). Evening spray is best for effectiveness and bee safety.
  • Mixing: Do not mix with alkaline products like Bordeaux mixture or Lime Sulfur, as they will destroy the chemical.
  • Coverage: Ensure thorough coverage of foliage. For Leaf Folders, ensure the spray penetrates the folded leaves.
  • Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Avoid inhaling the spray mist.
