0.25 to 0.5 ml per litre of water. For field spraying, use 40 to 100 ml per acre in 150 to 200 litres of water, depending on the crop.

As a foliar spray. Fill the tank half with water, add the measured dose, stir, then top up and spray. Cover the underside of leaves, where aphids, whitefly and jassids sit. It can also be applied as a soil drench for termites.

Measure the dose for your crop, mix in water, and spray on the foliage. Cotton and paddy take 40 to 50 ml per acre, chilli 50 to 100 ml, tomato 60 to 70 ml, okra 40 ml, sugarcane 141 ml for termites, and mango 2 to 4 ml per tree.

Roughly 1 ml in 2 to 4 litres of water, which is 0.25 to 0.5 ml per litre. Always measure against the per-acre rate on your label rather than eyeballing the cap.

Every imidacloprid 17.8% SL contains the same active ingredient at the same strength, so the brand does not change the chemistry. What changes is formulation quality and batch consistency. Check for a CIB&RC registration number and a batch number on the pack before buying.

Early morning or late evening. Spray as soon as sucking pests appear, before the population builds. Avoid the midday heat, avoid strong wind, and do not spray during flowering when bees are foraging.

Yes. SL stands for Soluble Liquid, so it dissolves completely in water and leaves no residue in the tank. Stir while adding and use the mix the same day.

It is safe for the applicator at label dose with gloves, full sleeves and a mask. It is highly toxic to honeybees, so do not spray at flowering or when bees are active. Keep spray and washings away from ponds and channels.

Sucking pests. Aphids, whitefly, thrips, jassids, brown and white planthopper in paddy, mango hopper, and termites. It does not control caterpillars, bollworm or mites.

Feeding stops within a few hours of contact, and pest numbers drop visibly in 2 to 3 days. Because it is systemic, protection continues for about 2 to 3 weeks as the plant carries it.

Two to three sprays per season, 10 to 15 days apart. Imidacloprid belongs to IRAC Group 4A. Do not use it more than twice in a row — switch to a different IRAC group for the next spray so resistance does not build.
