Why farmers choose itWhy Choose This Product? Key Benefits
  • ⏱️ Quick Knockdown Effect: Stops pests from feeding immediately upon contact. This prevents further damage and halts the injection of toxins into the plant.
  • ?️ Systemic & Translaminar Action: Prime penetrates the leaf and moves to the underside where pests hide. It also travels upward (acropetal) to protect new shoot growth.
  • ⏳ Long Duration Control: Provides reliable protection for 10 to 15 days, reducing the need for frequent spraying and saving labor costs.
  • ?️ Excellent Rainfastness: The product is absorbed quickly and is resistant to rain wash-off within 2 to 4 hours of application, making it perfect for the Kharif (monsoon) season.
  • ? Low Toxicity to Bees: Compared to other neonicotinoids, Acetamiprid is safer for honeybees and beneficial pollinators, supporting sustainable agriculture.

Product scienceHow It Works: Mode of Action

Prime works by targeting the nervous system of the insect.

  1. Transmission: Once sprayed, the active ingredient is absorbed by the plant and spreads systemically.
  2. Ingestion: When Aphids or Jassids suck the plant sap, they ingest the Acetamiprid.
  3. Paralysis: The chemical binds to the insect's nerve receptors (nAChR), causing hyper-excitation, paralysis, and rapid death.

Because it affects a different site than organophosphates, it is highly effective even against pests that have developed resistance to older chemicals.

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 (g / Acre)Water (L / Acre)Dose (g / Litre)PHI (Days)
Cotton20g - 40g200 Litres0.1g - 0.2g15
Rice (Paddy)20g - 40g200 Litres0.1g - 0.2g7
Chilli / Okra20g - 40g200 Litres0.1g - 0.2g3

*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting. Note: Dosage is in Grams (g) as Prime is a powder.

Useful detailsHow to Apply: Best Practices
  • Timing: Apply as soon as pest population reaches the Economic Threshold Level (e.g., 2 nymphs per leaf for Jassids).
  • Mixing: Prime is a Soluble Powder (SP) that dissolves easily. Add the required quantity of powder to a small amount of water to make a solution, then add to the main tank.
  • Coverage: Ensure thorough coverage of the foliage. For Rice/Paddy, drain the field before spraying to allow the chemical to reach the stem base (BPH zone).
  • Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
