Product scienceHow It Works: Mode of Action

Tricel attacks the nervous system of the insect. It inhibits a vital enzyme called Acetylcholinesterase (AChE).

  1. Entry: The chemical enters through the insect's skin (contact), mouth (stomach), or breathing holes (vapor).
  2. Blockage: It binds to the AChE enzyme, preventing it from "resetting" the nerve signals.
  3. System Failure: The insect's nerves fire uncontrollably, leading to tremors, paralysis, and rapid death.

Note: Due to its vapor action, it is highly effective in dense canopies (like sugarcane) or inside soil tunnels where sprays cannot reach directly.

How to applyDosage & Application Guide

The Golden Rule: The dilution ratio is critical. Termite treatment requires a much stronger concentration (1:19) compared to crop spraying.

*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: Minimum days to wait before harvesting after spraying.

Useful detailsHow to Apply: Best Practices
  • Termites (Construction): Use the 1:19 ratio. For existing homes, drill holes at the wall-floor junction (1-foot intervals) and inject the solution to create a barrier.
  • Crops (Paddy/Cotton): Spray in the evening to reduce evaporation and protect bees. Ensure the spray reaches the base of the plant for stem borers.
  • Soil Drench: For sugarcane or root grubs, apply heavily near the root zone and irrigate immediately after to push the chemical down.
  • Safety: Tricel is toxic. Always wear gloves, a mask, and full-sleeved clothing. Do not inhale the spray mist.
