Katyayani Imida Imidacloprid 30.5% SC Systemic Insecticide

Katyayani Imida is a systemic Imidacloprid 30.5% SC insecticide for sucking pests such as aphids, jassids, thrips and planthoppers. The label dose is 24 to 30 ml per acre in cotton and rice and 50 to 60 ml per acre in chilli, applied as a foliar spray. It controls sap-sucking insects only. It does not control caterpillars, bollworms or mites, so identify the pest before you spray.

Imida is matched to sucking pests on the crops below.

• Cotton: aphids, jassids, thrips
• Rice: brown planthopper, white-backed planthopper
• Chilli: aphids, thrips
• Also listed for sugarcane, mango, groundnut, grapes, tomato and vegetables: whiteflies, mealybugs, leafhoppers and termites

The label dose is 24 to 30 ml per acre in cotton and rice and 50 to 60 ml per acre in chilli, mixed in 150 to 200 litres of water.

• Fill the pump halfway with water, add the measured dose, stir, then top up. Never pour it into an empty tank.
• Spray at the first sign of sucking pests, not after the population has built up. The live guidance is roughly 25 to 30 days after sowing in cotton and chilli, and at the first planthoppers at the plant base in rice.
• Spray before 10 in the morning or after 4 in the evening. Avoid spraying if rain is expected within 4 to 6 hours, and do not spray in strong wind.
• Wet the leaf undersides. In rice, direct the spray to the base of the plants, where hoppers sit.
