Current branded method, timing, equipment, repeat limits and re-entry remain unverified. Do not apply from this table alone or infer the route from EC formulation.
Acre values are approximate hectare conversions. PHI is the last-application-to-harvest interval, not re-entry.
No per-litre or tank dose has been calculated from area rates. An unknown cell does not mean zero or unrestricted use.
Grouped rows retain separate crops: brinjal and tomato each have a 4-day PHI; onion has 5 days and okra 4 days.
Chilli rates here cover thrips and mites only. Manufacturer fruit-borer and generic pod-borer wording differ; the fruit-borer rate remains unconfirmed.
Rice figures exclude hispa: the generic pest name is corrupted. Separately, the older exact Reeva 5 EC catalogue lists hispa at 100 ml/acre, a 15-day PHI and pest-occurrence timing. Water, concentration and method remain unconfirmed; verify the current pack.
Mango 0.5–1 ml/L is an explicitly printed formulation concentration, not a calculated ratio. No area rate or water volume is established for this concentration.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Match the exact product: Confirm the brand, active ingredient, strength and formulation on the supplied Indian pack.
- Confirm the crop and target: Use only the crop–pest pairing authorised by that current pack; a formulation-level reference does not establish brand approval.
- Obtain the complete programme: Verify method, timing, dose, water, equipment, repeat limits, re-entry and PHI before treatment.
- Follow local restrictions: Check applicable state restrictions as well as the supplied label. Do not improvise a new application route or tank mix.
Frequently Asked Questions

Which crop uses are listed here?The eleven crops and their pest pairings are listed above. Do not transfer a pest use to another crop.

Can I substitute another Reeva strength?No. The 2.5% EC and 5% EC formulations have different rates and crop scopes; do not transfer their tables or substitute a CS formulation.
Is a universal tank mix or repeat interval recommended?No. Confirm compatibility, repeat intervals and application limits on the current pack and with qualified local advice.
