How To Use Dhanuka Zapac Insecticide:
Measure the required dose of Zapac insecticide as per the crop-wise dose table above.
Add the measured quantity to a sprayer tank half-filled with clean water and mix well.
Fill with the remaining water and agitate thoroughly before spraying to form a uniform solution.
Use a hollow cone or flat fan nozzle for thorough coverage — ensure the spray reaches the underside of leaves where sucking pests cluster most densely.
Apply at the first sign of pest activity or at the Economic Threshold Level for the target pest.
Do not apply during flowering of the crop — Dhanuka Zapac is highly toxic to bees.
Spray during early morning or late evening — avoid midday heat and active bee foraging hours.
Rinse all sprayer equipment thoroughly with clean water after every use.
Best Time to Apply:
Apply Zapac insecticide in the early morning or late evening. For Cotton bollworms and Chilli fruit borers, apply at the first sign of egg hatching or early larval infestation. For sucking pests, apply when colonies first appear on young leaves and shoots.
Frequency of Application and Re-Entry Period:
Frequency of Application: Apply at the first sign of pest infestation. Repeat every 10–14 days if pest pressure continues. Do not exceed 2–3 applications per season — rotate with insecticides from different IRAC groups after 2 consecutive applications to prevent resistance.
Re-Entry Period: Do not enter treated fields for at least 24 hours after spraying without proper protective gear.
Tank-Mix Compatibility: Dhanuka Zapac is compatible with most fungicides and insecticides. Avoid mixing with strongly alkaline products. Always perform a jar test before mixing with unfamiliar products.
Safety Precautions and Handling:
Wear gloves, goggles, and a face mask before handling or spraying Zapac insecticide.
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.
Highly toxic to bees — do not spray during active bee foraging hours, during crop flowering, or near beehives.
Do not allow spray drift onto flowering weeds, hedges, or flowering crops in the vicinity.
Keep children, pets, and livestock away from treated fields for at least 24 hours.
Wash all exposed skin thoroughly with soap and water after every spray session.
Triple rinse empty containers, puncture, and dispose of per local waste guidelines.
