Pump dose: Use 22 to 30 ml of Propargite 42% + Hexythiazox 2% EC per 15-litre knapsack pump for general foliar application.
Water Volume: Use 150 to 200 litres of water per acre for full canopy coverage — cover the leaf underside thoroughly, as mites hide there.
How to Use Indofil Ceasemite Insecticide:
Shake the Ceasemite Insecticide bottle well before opening to mix the active ingredients evenly.
Wear gloves and a face mask before measuring the product.
Measure the right quantity of Propargite 42% + Hexythiazox 2% EC using a marked cup or syringe.
Half-fill the spray tank with clean water and pour in the measured product slowly.
Add the remaining water and stir until the solution looks uniform.
Use a fine-mist or hollow-cone nozzle for proper coverage.
Spray during calm weather, covering both upper and lower leaf surfaces — especially the underside where mites hide.
Use 150 to 200 litres of water per acre for full canopy coverage.
Best Time to Apply:
Spray Indofil Ceasemite Insecticide at the first sign of mite activity — when small yellow or brown patches appear on leaves, or when tiny mite colonies start building up on the leaf underside. Because Propargite 42% + Hexythiazox 2% EC has strong ovicidal action, spraying early — when eggs are being laid — gives the strongest, longest-lasting results. Late afternoon or early evening is the best window, as leaf temperature is cooler and product retention on the leaf is stronger.
Frequency of Application and Re-entry Period:
Frequency: 1 to 2 sprays of Ceasemite Insecticide per crop cycle at 25 to 30-day intervals — the long ovicidal residual means fewer sprays are needed than with older miticides.
Re-Entry Period: Wait 24 hours after spraying before re-entering the treated field without protective clothing.
Compatibility: Indofil Ceasemite Insecticide is compatible with most common fungicides and water-soluble fertilizers. Avoid mixing with strongly alkaline products like Bordeaux mixture, lime sulfur, or high-pH copper sprays. Do NOT mix with oil-based sprays like neem oil, as it may increase leaf burn. Always run a small jar test before a new tank-mix.
Safety, Precautions and Handling:
Always use protective clothing, gloves, goggles, and a mask before opening the Propargite 42% + Hexythiazox 2% EC
Avoid direct skin contact with the spray solution.
Never spray against the wind direction, and keep pets and livestock at a safe distance.
Rinse spray tanks thoroughly after use, and dispose of empty containers responsibly.
Seek immediate medical help in case of contact with eyes or accidental swallowing.
