Foliar records cover the listed targets, except okra whitefly. Catalogue timing is pest occurrence/emergence; match the current leaflet. Do not spray during active bee foraging.
Mango: 2–4 ml/tree with 10 L water, PHI 45 days. This is per tree, not per acre.
Citrus leaf miner/psylla: catalogue 0.5 ml/L, pest occurrence/emergence, PHI 15 days. The formulation reference makes water dependent on tree size and equipment. This concentration is explicit, not area-derived; catalogue revision is unconfirmed.
Sugarcane termites: generic reference ≈141.6 ml/acre (350 ml/ha), water ≈758.8 L/acre (1875 L/ha), PHI 45 days. Route and placement remain held; catalogue timing is pest occurrence. No foliar termite method is established.
Sunflower / okra share dose and water but not PHI: sunflower 30 days; okra 3 days. Okra whitefly has no numerical programme here.
* No area-derived per-litre or tank dose is given. PHI means final treatment to harvest. Citrus has no fixed acre water volume.
Tea extension: exact formulation, dose, water, route, timing and PHI remain unconfirmed. No tea treatment is recommended here. Follow the supplied label for re-entry, repeats and maximum applications.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Route: Match the supplied label. Do not borrow seed-treatment or building-termite directions.
- Crop and pest: Identify the listed pest and respect the crop-specific water and harvest interval.
- Bees and exposure: Avoid active bee foraging, drift, skin contact and inhalation. Wear pack-required protection.
- Mixtures: No tank-mix or sticker recommendation is given; check applicable labels before combining products.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Tata Mida a systemic insecticide?Yes. It contains imidacloprid 17.8% SL, a systemic neonicotinoid in IRAC Group 4A.
Is it the same as an imidacloprid seed treatment?No. Do not transfer WS or FS seed-treatment directions to this 17.8% SL product.
Do all crops have the same harvest interval?No. The references range from 3 days on okra/tomato to 45 days on mango/sugarcane. Keep each interval paired with its crop and use.
Can I use the foliar rows for sugarcane termites?No. Sugarcane termite placement and method require their own current label directions.
Does the tea announcement give a usable dose?No. The tea mosquito bug extension needs the exact supplied formulation’s complete label programme before use.
