Sumo

• ⏱️ Long-Lasting Protection: The encapsulated granules release slowly, protecting crops for 30 to 40 days during the critical vegetative stage.
• ?️ Dual Action Power: It is one of the few products that kills both insects (Stem Borer, Shoot Fly) and harmful Nematodes (root worms) simultaneously.
• ⏳ Systemic Action: Absorbed by the roots and moves up the plant, killing hidden pests inside the stem that sprays cannot reach.
• ?️ Safety & Stability: Encapsulation technology minimizes dust, making it safer to handle and resistant to UV degradation.
• ? Greening Effect: Promotes healthy root growth by eliminating nematodes, leading to greener plants and better nutrient uptake (Phytotonic effect).

Sumo targets the pest's nervous system by inhibiting the enzyme Cholinesterase. It enters the pest through three powerful pathways:

1. Systemic Action: Dissolves in soil water, enters the roots, and travels up the stem. Larvae feeding inside the stem die instantly.
2. Contact Action: Soil pests like termites and white grubs die when they physically touch the granules or treated soil.
3. Stomach Action: Pests that ingest the granules or contaminated organic matter are poisoned from within.

Note: The effect is rapid and prevents insects from feeding almost immediately.

The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results. Sumo is a granule, so water dilution is not required for mixing, only for field activation.

*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting. Note: Headers adapted for Granular (kg) application accuracy.

• Timing: For Paddy, apply 15-30 days after transplanting. For Maize, apply at sowing or in leaf whorls.
• Mixing: Sumo can be mixed with sand or fertilizer for uniform distribution. Do not mix with alkaline materials (like Lime).
• Coverage: Ensure the field has standing water (Paddy) or sufficient moisture (other crops) to dissolve the granules into the root zone.
• Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). This is a red-label product; do not touch granules with bare hands. Wash hands thoroughly after use.

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. This product is toxic to birds and aquatic life; do not use near fish ponds.
