How to Use Dhanuka Areva Insecticide:
Measure the required quantity of Dhanuka Areva as per the crop-wise dosage table.
Fill the spray tank with about 70% of the required clean water.
Make a slurry of Dhanuka Areva in a separate container with a small amount of water so it dissolves uniformly.
Pour the slurry into the main spray tank while stirring continuously.
Top up with the remaining water and mix thoroughly until uniform.
Spray evenly on both upper and lower surfaces of the leaves using a fine-mist nozzle.
Repeat the application of Dhanuka Areva after 15 to 20 days if fresh pest activity is observed.
Best Time to Apply:
The best time to apply Dhanuka Areva insecticide is during the early morning or late evening hours when temperatures are mild, the weather is calm, and pollinator activity is low. Spray Areva at the first sign of sucking pest infestation or when pest counts cross the economic threshold level for the best knockdown effect and longest residual control.
Frequency of Application and Re-entry Period:
Frequency of Application: Apply Dhanuka Areva insecticide 1 to 2 times per crop cycle at 15 to 20-day intervals, depending on pest pressure and crop stage.
Re-Entry Period: Do not enter treated fields for at least 12 to 24 hours after application without proper protective clothing.
Compatibility: Dhanuka Areva insecticide is compatible with most commonly used insecticides, fungicides, and water-soluble fertilizers. Avoid mixing with strongly alkaline products such as Bordeaux mixture. A small jar test is recommended before any tank-mix.
