The Coromandel Benzer insecticide is a powerful pest-controlling agricultural input that protects various crops from different pests, like thrips, mites, tea loopers, and more. This insecticide works by disrupting the nervous system of pests, which leads to paralysis and death of the pests. This insecticide is effective against a wide range of pests and can be combined with other chemical inputs, improving efficacy.

How to Use Coromandel Benzer Insecticide:
Weigh out the required dose as per the crop you are spraying.
Half-fill your spray tank with clean water first.
Add the measured Benzer Insecticide slowly into the tank, stirring as you pour.
Top up with the remaining water and mix until the solution is fully uniform.
Use a fine-mist nozzle and spray both upper and lower leaf surfaces.
Target areas where worms tend to hide — leaf curls, growing tips, flower buds, and the underside of fruits.
If worm pressure returns, repeat the spray after 10 to 14 days.
Best Time to Apply:
Apply Coromandel Benzer Insecticide right at the start of worm activity — when you first notice tiny caterpillars on leaves or fresh feeding holes on fruits, pods, or shoots. Younger worms are far easier to control than mature ones, so quick action saves both money and crop loss. Pick a cool time of day — early morning or late evening — and avoid spraying if rain is expected within 4 to 6 hours.
Frequency of Application and Re-entry Period:
Frequency: 2 to 3 sprays per crop cycle, spaced 10 to 14 days apart.
Re-Entry: Wait at least 12 to 24 hours before re-entering the treated field without protective gear.
Compatibility: Benzer mixes well with most common fungicides, insecticides, and water-soluble fertilizers. Avoid alkaline tank-mix partners like Bordeaux mixture, and run a jar test for any new combination.

Wear hand gloves, a face mask, and protective eyewear while handling the product.
