Tata Takumi is a broad-spectrum insecticide that contains Flubendiamide 20% WDG. It offers a systemic and contact mode of action, which works by targeting essential receptors in the pests’ muscular system, causing continuous and uncontrolled release of calcium ions, causing paralysis and death of the pest. The Takumi insecticide has a unique mode of action, providing great resistance management and also offering strong residual activity, making it long-lasting.

How To Use Tata Takumi Insecticide:
Measure the required dose of Flubendiamide 20% WDG as per the crop-wise dose table above — 100 gm per acre (0.5 gm per litre).
Pre-dissolve the Flubendiamide 20% WDG in a small amount of clean water first, stir until fully dissolved, then add to the sprayer tank.
Fill the tank with the remaining clean water and agitate well before spraying.
Use a hollow cone nozzle for thorough coverage — ensure spray reaches the underside of leaves and growing points where Lepidopteran larvae are most active.
Apply at the early larval stage — Tata Takumi insecticide is most effective when larvae are young, small, and actively feeding on treated tissue.
Spray during early morning or late evening for best results — Flubendiamide 20% WDG is stable at higher temperatures, but avoid spraying in strong winds.
The WDG formulation is rain-fast once absorbed — allow a minimum drying period after application.
Rinse all sprayer equipment thoroughly with clean water after every use.
Best Time to Apply:
Apply Flubendiamide 20% WDG at the early larval stage — at the first sign of egg hatching or first-instar larval feeding on the crop. Early application gives the fastest feeding cessation and the most complete residual protection per spray cycle.
Frequency of Application and Re-Entry Period:
Frequency of Application: Apply Flubendiamide 20% WDG at the first sign of pest infestation. Tata Takumi insecticide provides up to 21 days of residual control — do not apply more than 2–3 times per season. Always rotate with products from different IRAC groups after 2 consecutive applications to prevent resistance build-up.
Re-Entry Period: Do not enter treated fields for at least 12 hours after spraying without proper protective gear.
Tank-Mix Compatibility: Flubendiamide 20% WDG is compatible with most fungicides and insecticides. Always perform a jar test before mixing with unfamiliar products. Avoid mixing with strongly alkaline products.
Safety Precautions and Handling:
Wear gloves, goggles, and a face mask before handling or spraying Flubendiamide 20% WDG.
Do not eat, drink, or smoke during mixing or application.
Avoid direct contact with skin and eyes — rinse immediately with clean water for 15 minutes if contact occurs.
