Mixing Guide:
It is recommended to use a 5/64” hollow cone or motorized sprayer. Fill the tank half full with clean water. Mix as recommended in the dosing table and mix with one liter of clean water in a separate container and stir until completely dissolved. Then add the mixture to the sprayer tank and add the remaining clean water required and stir. Do not use at a rate higher than recommended. Do not store the remaining mixture in the sprayer tank.
Spraying Guide:
Spray when the attack signs reach the action threshold level (ATL). For good control, spray thoroughly on the upper and lower surfaces of the leaves. If necessary, repeat the spray every 5-7 days for okra, eggplant and tomato plants. Do not use more than 8 times per season for okra plants, 2 times per season for eggplant, tomato, mango and lime plants. For rice plants, spray when the brown leafhopper population reaches the action threshold level of 10-15 related leafhoppers. Use a spray volume of 200 liters/hectare. The maximum number of sprays for rice plants is 3 times/season. If the treatment needs to be repeated, use alternately with insecticides from different groups that have different modes of action.
