Velektin | Insecticide for Cotton, Maize & Chilli

Parijat Velektin contains emamectin benzoate 1.5% + profenofos 35% WDG for cotton bollworms, maize fall armyworm and chilli fruit borer.

Crop and pest fit: Cotton: bollworm complex; maize: fall armyworm; chilli: fruit borer.

First application: Cotton at 40–50 days after sowing; maize at 15–25 days after sowing; chilli at 40–45 days after transplanting, under the current crop directions.

Spray method: Apply uniformly over foliage using a knapsack sprayer with a hollow-cone nozzle.

Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits

🐛 Defined larval-pest uses: Provides a crop-specific option for the listed bollworms, fall armyworm and fruit borer rather than a general all-insect treatment.
🍃 Movement across treated leaves: Translaminar movement helps the ingredients penetrate treated leaf tissue. It does not replace uniform spray coverage.
🛡️ Contact and feeding exposure: Pests can encounter the treatment through contact and feeding, supporting activity against the listed targets.
🧩 Two distinct action groups: Combines IRAC Groups 6 and 1B. Both groups matter when planning subsequent insecticide use.

How It Works: Mode of Action

Contact and feeding: The ingredients have contact and feeding-related activity and can move through treated leaves. They are not described as moving throughout the plant.
Nerve and muscle effects: Emamectin benzoate is a Group 6 glutamate-gated chloride-channel allosteric modulator, disrupting nerve and muscle function in susceptible pests.
Nerve-message disruption: Profenofos is a Group 1B acetylcholinesterase inhibitor. It interferes with the enzyme that clears nerve messages.

Egg and larval activity does not guarantee elimination of every pest stage. No fixed kill time or control duration is promised. Consider both groups in resistance planning and follow the crop-specific application limits.

Target Crops & Pests

Cotton	Bollworm complex
Maize	Fall armyworm
Chilli	Fruit borer

Keep each target with its own crop. The maize fall-armyworm use does not establish treatment of every caterpillar on other crops.

Crop-Specific Rates, Water & Harvest Intervals

Crop and target	Product quantity	Water quantity	Method and first timing	PHI
Cotton: bollworm complex	Approx. 283.28 g/acre; original 700 g/ha	Approx. 202.34 L/acre; original 500 L/ha	Method: Uniform foliar spray; knapsack with hollow-cone nozzle First timing: 40–50 days after sowing; follow the current cotton directions.	15 days
Maize: fall armyworm	Approx. 303.51 g/acre; original 750 g/ha	Approx. 202.34 L/acre; original 500 L/ha	Method: Uniform foliar spray; knapsack with hollow-cone nozzle First timing: 15–25 days after sowing; follow the current maize directions.	35 days
Chilli: fruit borer	Approx. 283.28 g/acre; original 700 g/ha	Approx. 202.34 L/acre; original 500 L/ha	Method: Uniform foliar spray; knapsack with hollow-cone nozzle First timing: 40–45 days after transplanting; follow the current chilli directions.	7 days

Approximate acre equivalents retain the original hectare quantities; use one area basis consistently. The second maize application at 30–35 days after sowing is need-based. Chilli’s second window is 65–70 days after transplanting, subject to current-label conditions. These windows do not authorise extra sprays. PHI is the minimum time from the last treatment to harvest, not worker re-entry.

How to Apply: Best Practices

Identify the crop and target: Check the pest and select the matching crop row before measuring product. Do not transfer a programme between crops.
Count from the correct event: DAS means days after sowing; DAT means days after transplanting. Do not count the chilli window from sowing or use a need-based maize repeat as an automatic calendar spray.
Measure the same field area: Keep the product and water quantities paired. Sprayer capacity alone does not establish the area treated, and no separate per-tank or per-litre recipe is given.
Prepare the granules correctly: Follow the current WDG mixing and agitation directions. Keep product-measuring equipment separate from food utensils and do not add an unapproved additive.
Cover foliage uniformly: Use the knapsack and hollow-cone nozzle, maintain equipment and follow the pack’s weather and drift restrictions. Translaminar movement does not justify missing foliage.
Plan harvest and mixtures: Record the treatment date and leave the crop’s full PHI. Check re-entry and further-treatment limits. Use a mixture only when both current labels permit the proposed combination for the crop and use.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Which crop uses the higher product rate?

Maize fall armyworm uses 750 g/ha, approximately 303.51 g/acre. Cotton bollworms and chilli fruit borer use 700 g/ha, approximately 283.28 g/acre. All three pair with 500 L water/ha, approximately 202.34 L/acre, but their first timing and harvest intervals differ.

2. What do DAS and DAT mean?

DAS counts from sowing and DAT from transplanting. Cotton and maize use sowing-based windows; chilli uses transplanting-based windows. Check the actual crop dates and the current label.

3. Is the second maize treatment automatic?

No. The 30–35-day-after-sowing window is explicitly need-based. Follow field assessment and the current crop directions, including the full 35-day interval from the last treatment to harvest.

4. Does translaminar activity mean full systemic movement?

No. It describes movement through treated leaf tissue. Both ingredients are described as non-systemic, so uniform foliage coverage remains important.

5. Does the premix guarantee a fixed kill time or prevent resistance?

No. Two active ingredients do not guarantee a fixed field result or remove resistance risk. Account for IRAC Groups 6 and 1B, and do not increase the rate or add sprays to chase a speed claim.

Safety & Disclaimer

Before you use it: Read the current Velektin label and leaflet before use, including protective equipment, mixing, weather, re-entry, harvest, first-aid, storage and disposal directions. Use only the permitted crop, pest, route and schedule.

Wear the protective clothing and equipment required on the pack. Do not mix with bare hands. Avoid eye, skin and mouth contact and inhaling dust, spray mist, fog or vapour. Do not eat, drink, smoke or chew while handling or spraying. Wash thoroughly afterwards and maintain application equipment.

Keep in the original labelled container away from water, fire, food, feed, children and animals. Prevent spray drift and contamination of water sources. Seek medical help after exposure or illness and take the pack or label. Follow the pack’s cleaning and disposal instructions; never reuse empty pesticide containers.
