Solomon - Beta-Cyfluthrin 8.49% + Imidacloprid 19.81% OD - Bayer

Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits

• 🎯Sucking and chewing pest uses: The supported crop rows cover both sap-feeding insects and selected borers or leaf-feeding pests. Each pest must still be matched to the correct crop.
  
• 🍃Contact action and movement within plants: Beta-cyfluthrin acts when insects contact or eat treated material. Imidacloprid can move within the plant. These properties do not allow treatment methods that the label does not list.
  
• 🧪Two ingredients already combined: Solomon contains both active ingredients in one oil-based formulation. It is not a recipe for mixing separate beta-cyfluthrin and imidacloprid products.
  
• 💧An oil-based liquid formulation: Bayer describes this formulation as helping the product stay on and enter treated plant surfaces. Follow the stated water amount and method; do not invent a low-water or drone recipe.
  

Technical Specifications

How It Works: Mode of Action

The two ingredients affect different parts of the insect nervous system. The product combines action through contact and feeding with movement of imidacloprid within the plant, for the supported crop uses.

1. Cover the crop as the label directs: A correctly prepared leaf spray reaches exposed pests and plant surfaces. Measure the commercial product at the field-area rate, not the smaller weight of active ingredient.
   
2. Beta-cyfluthrin disrupts nerve impulses: It affects channels that control the flow of signals along insect nerves. This disturbs normal movement, coordination and nerve function in susceptible insects.
   
3. Imidacloprid affects how nerves receive messages: It acts at different points where nerves receive chemical signals. This adds a second type of disruption to normal insect nerve activity.
   

Two active ingredients do not prevent resistance. Count both Groups 3A and 4A when planning treatments, keep checking pest numbers and use suitable non-chemical measures. Follow qualified advice when choosing effective alternatives allowed by the label.

🔄 Check both insecticide groups: Solomon contains Groups 3A and 4A. Count both when choosing later treatments. Another brand containing either group is not a completely different way of controlling pests.

Target Crops & Pests

The four crop uses below are supported by Bayer’s Indian Solomon article and checked against the 2025 government formulation guide.

Additional crops appearing in a formulation-level registration compilation are not automatically included in this exact-brand description. Confirm the current Solomon pack before any use outside the four rows shown.

Dosage & Application Guide

Confirm the full crop-specific directions before measuring

Do not prepare a treatment from this page alone. No complete current Indian Solomon numerical programme is supplied here. Product quantity, water basis, route, positive first-treatment conditions and restrictions must be established together for each crop–pest pairing.

Obtain the label and leaflet supplied with the exact Indian Solomon formulation. Confirm crop and pest, crop and pest stage, first-treatment conditions, product quantity, water volume, equipment, coverage, permitted mixtures, application limits, worker re-entry and harvest restrictions before use.

Bayer’s Indian article and the formulation summary provide crop-specific quantity references, but the complete current branded first-treatment programme has not been established here. Numerical rates, water volumes and harvest periods are withheld together; do not assemble a recipe from separate marketing and summary fragments.

Do not use a single rate for every crop. Measure formulated commercial product against the verified crop-specific area basis, not the smaller active-ingredient quantity. The OD oil-dispersion formulation does not authorise reduced water, a concentrated pump mixture, drone use or mixing separate active ingredients.

No universal per-litre or tank recipe, fixed repeat interval, numerical re-entry or rainfast period is supplied. PHI is the interval from the last application to harvest, not a repeat-spray or worker re-entry interval. Missing figures do not mean immediate harvest or no water.

How to Apply: Best Practices

• Confirm the crop and pest: Use only the crop–pest pairing on the current pack. Monitoring should establish the need for treatment; an unrelated symptom is not a reason to spray.
  
• Measure the area and product: Adjust equipment to deliver the required amount over the measured area. Measure the commercial product, not just the active ingredient. A pack size is not a standard field dose.
  
• Prepare as the label directs: Use clean water and follow the label’s mixing order and instructions for keeping the mixture evenly dispersed. Do not add unverified fertilizer, spray additives or pesticides.
  
• Use the specified leaf-spray equipment: Bayer’s Indian article describes a knapsack sprayer with a hollow-cone nozzle. Follow the current pack directions and crop-specific water amount, with even coverage and no runoff or drift.
  
• Protect non-target organisms: Follow all current flowering and bee-protection restrictions. Keep the spray away from flowering plants being visited by bees, water bodies and aquaculture; favourable weather alone does not make exposure safe.
  
• Record and review: Record crop, pest, date, rate and treated area. Reassess pest pressure before any further label-permitted application and preserve the applicable harvest interval.
