Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
-
🐛 Defined insect targets: Provides a
spinosad option for the listed crop-pest combinations without extending the use to every insect.
-
🍃 Contact and feeding activity: Pests
encounter spinosad through contact with the treatment and ingestion during feeding.
-
🔬 Distinct Group 5 action: Acts on insect
nerve signalling through a different classification from Group 4A neonicotinoids.
-
🌱 Fermentation-derived ingredient: Spinosad
is derived from fermentation of Saccharopolyspora spinosa. Its origin does not make the formulated product harmless or establish organic
certification.

How It Works: Mode of Action
-
Contact and ingestion: The treatment acts through contact and feeding-related exposure. Thorough foliage coverage helps pests
encounter the applied insecticide.
-
Nerve signalling changes: Spinosad acts at an allosteric site of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, changing how these insect
nerve-message receptors function.
-
Normal muscle control is disrupted: Susceptible pests can develop involuntary contractions, tremors and paralysis. This action does
not establish a fixed speed or guaranteed percentage of field control.
Contact and ingestion are exposure routes, not two modes of action. Group 5 differs from Group 4A even though
both involve nicotinic receptors. Follow the current label’s resistance-management directions.

Dosage & Application Guide
Early Infestation, Foliage Coverage & Weather Conditions
Apply at the early stage of infestation of the listed crop pest, under the complete current crop directions.
Mix the recommended quantity in clean water and spray uniformly, ensuring thorough foliage coverage. Prefer morning or evening hours
and avoid spraying during rain, strong wind or extreme heat.
Before measuring, have the crop-specific product quantity, water volume, application restrictions and harvest
interval together. Calibrate to the measured field area. Do not infer a pump dose from tank capacity, assume immediate harvesting is
allowed, or substitute another spinosad product’s directions.
How to Apply: Best Practices
-
Identify the crop and pest: Distinguish American bollworm in cotton, fruit borer or thrips in chilli, and pod borer in redgram. Do
not treat unrelated damage by guesswork.
-
Act at early infestation: Use the early-infestation timing with the current crop directions. Do not invent a numerical threshold or
add an unsupported calendar repeat.
-
Choose suitable weather: Prefer morning or evening and avoid rain, strong wind and extreme heat. Follow all additional weather and
drift restrictions on the pack.
-
Prepare with clean water: Mix the recommended quantity in clean water and follow the pack’s suspension-concentrate preparation and
agitation directions. Do not mix with bare hands.
-
Cover foliage thoroughly: Apply uniformly over the crop. Maintain and calibrate the sprayer, prevent drift and keep spray and
equipment washings out of water sources.
-
Plan harvest and further treatment: Check harvest and re-entry restrictions before spraying. Use a mixture only when both current
labels permit the proposed combination for the crop and use; follow the exact repeat limits.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. When should Yekvun be applied?
At the early stage of infestation of the listed crop pest, with the complete current crop directions. Prefer
morning or evening and avoid rain, strong wind or extreme heat.
2. Does fermentation-derived mean harmless or certified organic?
No. That describes the origin of spinosad, not the safety or certification of the formulated product. Follow
protective-equipment, handling and environmental restrictions.
3. Do contact and ingestion mean two resistance groups?
No. They are ways the pest encounters spinosad. The ingredient belongs to IRAC Group 5, and both exposure
routes still require appropriate application and coverage.
4. Can I harvest immediately after spraying?
Do not assume so. Establish the current Yekvun crop-specific harvest interval before treatment and follow it
after the last application. Re-entry instructions for workers are a separate requirement.
5. Can I use another spinosad brand’s dose or harvest interval?
Do not transfer another product’s directions. Confirm the exact Yekvun formulation and the complete
crop-pest recommendation, including product, water, timing, route and harvest restrictions.
