Rim Jhim

• ⏱️ Instant Knockdown Power: Cypermethrin provides a "shock effect," stopping pests from feeding immediately upon contact.
• ?️ Dual-Action Protection: Works as both a Contact Poison (kills when pests touch it) and a Stomach Poison (kills when pests eat treated leaves).
• ⏳ Stops Mite Flare-ups: Unlike ordinary pyrethroids that can increase mite populations, the Ethion in Rim Jhim actively kills mites (Acaricidal action).
• ?️ Rainfastness: The EC formulation absorbs quickly into the leaf. It generally requires a rain-free period of just 3 to 4 hours to be effective.
• ? Synergistic Formula: Ethion helps protect Cypermethrin from pest resistance mechanisms, making the combination more effective than using either chemical alone.

Rim Jhim attacks the insect's nervous system from two different angles, making it very difficult for pests to survive.

1. Nerve Overload (Cypermethrin): It targets the sodium channels in the nerve axons, keeping them open. This causes continuous nerve firing, leading to tremors and paralysis.
2. Enzyme Blockage (Ethion): It inhibits the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE) at the synaptic cleft. This prevents the insect from "switching off" nerve signals.
3. Resistance Breaking: Ethion occupies the detoxification enzymes in the insect's body, effectively "shielding" the Cypermethrin so it can deliver a lethal blow to resistant pests.

The result is a rapid cessation of feeding, followed by paralysis and death of the pest.

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 when pest population reaches the Economic Threshold Level (ETL)—for example, when you see 5-10% damage to fruiting bodies or 5-10 mites per leaf.
• Mixing: Compatible with most fungicides (like Mancozeb). Do NOT mix with alkaline products like Bordeaux mixture or Lime Sulphur, as this destroys the medicine.
• Coverage: Use at least 200 Liters of water per acre for Cotton and Vegetables. Good coverage of the underside of leaves is essential for killing mites and hiding pests.
• Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Avoid spraying during peak bee foraging hours (mid-day).

Always read and follow the instructions on the official product label. The information provided here is for guidance only. Use personal protective equipment (PPE) during application.
