Katyayani Pyrethrum is an organic, broad-spectrum insecticide that helps farmers control a wide range of crop pests in a natural way. The product is built on Pyrethrum 2% Extract, derived from dried Chrysanthemum flowers, one of the oldest known plant-based insecticides. Pyrethrum 2% extract works as a contact poison, attacking the nervous system of insects and giving a fast knockdown effect within minutes. It controls aphids, thrips, whiteflies, caterpillars, beetles, mites, and leafhoppers across crops. Katyayani Pyrethrum insecticide breaks down quickly in sunlight, leaves no toxic residue, and allows harvest just 24 hours after spraying. It can be used as a water spray or as a fogging chemical for indoor, garden, and farm areas.

Note: Use only the recommended dose for best results.
How to Use Pyrethrum 2% Extract:
Shake the Katyayani Pyrethrum insecticide bottle well before opening so the contents are evenly mixed.
Measure the right dose based on the crop and the table above.
For foliar spray, pour the dose into a bucket of clean water and stir to make a pre-mix.
Add this pre-mix into the spray tank and top up with the rest of the water.
Use a knapsack sprayer with a fine nozzle for thorough coverage of the crop.
Spray on both upper and lower sides of leaves until the foliage is fully wet.
For fogging, dilute the product with kerosene or diesel in a 1:15 ratio and use a fogging machine.
Rinse the sprayer or fogging machine with clean water after the work is finished.
Best Time to Apply:
Spray Pyrethrum 2% extract in the cool hours of the day, in the early morning or late evening when sunlight is low. The natural compounds break down fast in strong sunlight, so avoid spraying at midday. Apply at the first sign of pest activity for the best knockdown.
Frequency of Application and Re-entry Period:
Frequency of Application: Spray Katyayani Pyrethrum insecticide at 7 to 12 day intervals, depending on pest pressure. Because it breaks down fast, repeat sprays are often needed for full control during heavy infestation.
Re-Entry Period: Workers can re-enter the treated field after the spray has fully dried, usually within a few hours.
Compatibility: Pyrethrum 2% extract is compatible with most botanical and biological products. Avoid mixing with strong alkaline products, and rotate with other modes of action to prevent resistance.
Safety Precautions and Handling:
Pyrethrum 2% extract is toxic to honeybees, so do not spray during flowering or when bees are active in the field.
The product is harmful to fish and aquatic life; never spray near ponds, rivers, canals, or fish farms.
Store the product away from light, as natural pyrethrins lose strength quickly when exposed to the sun.
When using it as a fogging chemical, keep all flames and sparks away, since kerosene and diesel carriers are flammable.
Some plants may show leaf yellowing after a second spray, so test on a few plants before full-field use.
Mix only the quantity of Katyayani Pyrethrum insecticide you can use the same day, as the diluted spray loses power overnight.
Wear gloves and a mask during mixing and spraying, and wash your hands and face well after the work.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) — Katyayani Pyrethrum / Pyrethrum 2% Extract:
Q1. Is Pyrethrum 2% extract the same as chemical pyrethroids like cypermethrin?
No. Pyrethrum 2% extract is a natural plant extract from Chrysanthemum flowers, while cypermethrin and other pyrethroids are man-made copies. The natural extract breaks down faster, leaves no lasting residue, and is allowed in organic farming.
Q2. Why do I need to spray Katyayani Pyrethrum insecticide more often than chemical insecticides?
Katyayani Pyrethrum insecticide breaks down quickly in sunlight and air, which is why it leaves no toxic residue. The trade-off is shorter-lasting action, so repeat sprays every 7 to 12 days are needed during heavy pest pressure.
Q3. Can Pyrethrum 2% extract be used both for crops and for household fogging?
Yes, Pyrethrum 2% extract works as a water spray for crops and as a fogging chemical when mixed with kerosene or diesel in a 1:15 ratio. It controls flies, mosquitoes, and beetles in stores, sheds, and homes.
Q4. Is Katyayani Pyrethrum insecticide safe for honeybees and beneficial insects?
Katyayani Pyrethrum insecticide is toxic to honeybees on direct contact, so it should not be sprayed during flowering or when bees are active. Once the spray dries, the risk drops sharply because it breaks down fast.
Q5. Will pests develop resistance to Pyrethrum 2% Extract?
Some pests like whiteflies and aphids can develop resistance to Pyrethrum 2% extract over time. To slow this down, rotate it with insecticides that have a different mode of action instead of using it alone every time.
Q6. How soon can I harvest after spraying Katyayani Pyrethrum insecticide?
Crops can be harvested just 1 day after spraying Katyayani Pyrethrum insecticide, since the natural compounds break down quickly and leave no harmful residue. This makes it a good fit for vegetables and fruits picked often.
