    Cabbage, Chilli, Capsicum, Okra, Cotton — Tobacco caterpillar तंबाकू की इल्ली / लट (Tambaku ki Illi) Groups of young larvae scrape leaves so they look like a skeleton or net; older dark caterpillars with black spots eat leaves and fruits, mostly at night.

    Mode of Action

    Cyantraniliprole is an anthranilic diamide insecticide (IRAC Group 28, ryanodine receptor modulators). It activates the ryanodine receptors in the insect's muscles, causing uncontrolled release of stored calcium, so the muscles become paralysed — the insect stops feeding within hours and dies. It acts mainly by ingestion and also by contact, and moves into the leaf (translaminar) and in the plant's xylem, which lets it reach both chewing pests and sucking pests such as whitefly, aphids and thrips.

    Features & Benefits

    • One product registered against both sucking pests and caterpillar pests on the same crop.
    • Rapid feeding stop protects fruits, pods and leaves soon after the spray.
    • Translaminar and systemic movement helps reach pests on the leaf underside.
    • Oil dispersion formulation spreads and sticks well on the leaf surface.
    • Short waiting period of 3–5 days on most vegetables as per the CIB&RC list.
    • Rotate with insecticides from other IRAC groups and do not use diamides back-to-back, to manage resistance.

    How to Use

    1. Identify the pest from the symptom guide above and confirm the dose from the table.
    2. Shake the bottle well, measure the required quantity, mix it in a small quantity of water first, then add it to the spray tank and top up to the full volume while stirring.
    3. Spray uniformly over the crop with a knapsack or power sprayer, covering both sides of the leaves, the growing shoots, flowers and fruits.
    4. Spray at the first appearance of the pest, or at the crop stage advised by your local agricultural extension office.
    5. Spray in calm weather in the early morning or late evening, and avoid spraying if rain is expected within a few hours.

    Precautions & Safety

    • Wear appropriate PPE — mask, gloves, goggles and full-sleeved clothing — while mixing and spraying, and avoid inhaling the spray mist.
    • Follow the recommended dose strictly; do not mix with other pesticides unless specifically recommended.
    • Respect the waiting period (PHI) before harvesting the treated crop: 3 days for chilli, capsicum, tomato, okra and brinjal; 5 days for grapes, pomegranate, cabbage, citrus, gherkin, bitter gourd, ridge gourd and watermelon; 7 days for cotton; 12 days for potato.
    • Avoid spraying when bees are actively foraging on flowering crops.
    • Do not let spray wash or field water reach ponds, fish tanks, streams or drinking-water sources.
    • Store in the original, tightly closed container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, food and feed, and out of reach of children and livestock.
    • Wash hands, face and any exposed skin thoroughly with soap and water after spraying, and change out of contaminated clothing before eating, drinking or smoking.
