Spin (Spinosad 45% SC) is effective against American bollworm infesting cotton, Fruit borer and Thrips on chillies and Pod borer on red gram. Spinosad is a biological insecticide and a naturally derived product from the fermentation of the actinomycete Saccharopolyspora spinosa. Spin is extensively used for the control of resistant Helicoverpa in Cotton and Red gram.
Direction of Use
Knapsack sprayer/ Tractor mounted sprayer/ Low volume sprayer is to be used while applying the insecticide.
Time of Application
Apply as directed spray when the incidence of Helicoverpa larvae is observed.
Precaution
- 1. Keep away from foodstuffs, empty foodstuff containers and animals food.
- 2. Avoid contact with mouth, eyes and skin.
- 3. Avoid inhalation the spray mist. Spray in the direction of wind.
- 4 . Wash thoroughly the contaminated clothes and parts of the body after spraying.
- 5. Do not smoke, drink, eat and chew anything while spraying.
- 6. Wear full protective clothing while mixing and spraying.
Symptoms Of Poisoning
Lacrimation, Saliva, Red colour, Secretions, incorrdination may occur.
MODE OF ACTION
Spinosad works by contact and by ingestion. Spinosad has a unique mode of action that is different from all other known insect control products. Spinosad causes excitation of the insect nervous system, leading to involuntary muscle contractions, prostration with tremors, and finally paralysis. These effects are consistent with the activation of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors by a mechanism that is clearly novel and unique among known insecticidal compounds.
FEATURES
- A naturalyte class insecticide that combines the speed of kill seen in a synthetic chemical with the margin of safety seen in a biological pest control product.
- Effective control of resistant Helicoverpa by stomach poisoning.
- Broad-spectrum action on Lepidopteran and Dipteran insects.
- Effective thripicide.
- Prolonged residual action.
- Favourable toxicological profile.
