  • ?️ Rainfast Capability: The lipophilic (oil-loving) nature ensures it binds tightly to the leaf wax, resisting wash-off from light rains.

Product scienceHow It Works: Mode of Action

Simha targets the nervous system of the insect. It is a "Sodium Channel Modulator."

  1. Contact & Entry: The chemical penetrates the waxy cuticle of the insect or is ingested.
  2. Over-Excitation: It jams the sodium channels in the nerve cells open. This causes the nerves to fire uncontrollably.
  3. Paralysis & Death: The insect experiences tremors ("jitter effect"), stops feeding, becomes paralyzed, and dies rapidly.

Note: It also has a repellent effect, discouraging new pests from entering the treated area.

Useful detailsHow to Apply: Best Practices
  • Timing: Spray at the first sign of pest incidence. For bollworms, target the egg-hatching stage for maximum kill.
  • Mixing: Ensure water pH is between 5.5 and 7.0. Do not mix with highly alkaline products like Bordeaux mixture.
  • Coverage: Simha is a contact poison; thorough coverage of the plant canopy (including the underside of leaves) is critical.
  • Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Avoid skin contact to prevent burning sensations.
