NCS Texan is a broad-spectrum systemic insecticide. It works by attacking the pest’s central nervous system, causing paralysis and the death of pest. NCS Texan insecticide offers strong systemic action with translaminar activity for quick uptake and complete crop coverage, providing effective results, while having prolonged effects at low doses, making it highly cost-effective as well.
Key Features and Benefits of NCS Texan Insecticide:
Complete Coverage: Texan insecticide offers strong systemic and translaminar action, ensuring complete crop coverage upon application.
Quick Uptake: NCS Texan insecticide is rapidly absorbed upon application, even in dry conditions, providing effective pest control.
Prolonged Effects: This insecticide offers long-lasting protection with its strong residual activity, reducing the need for frequent applications.
Broad-Spectrum: The Texan insecticide is effective against a wide range of pests like Aphids, Whiteflies, Jassids, Thrips, Leafhoppers, and others.
Strong Formula: This insecticide provides a strong formula that offers effective results even at low doses, making it cost-effective.
High Compatibility: NCS Texan insecticide is suitable with most insecticides and fungicides, improving efficacy when combined.

NCS Texan Dose — Crop-Wise Recommended Dose:
The Texan Insecticide Dose Per Litre is 1–2 gm per litre of water for foliar spray across all registered crops. Mix in 200 litres of water per acre for uniform field coverage.

Paddy | BPH, WBPH, GLH, Stem Borer, Gall Midge, Leaf Folder | 80–100 gm | 6–7.5 gm | 14 days |
Cotton | Aphids, Jassids, Whiteflies, Thrips | 80–100 gm | 6–7.5 gm | 21 days |
Groundnut | Aphids, Jassids, Thrips | 80–100 gm | 6–7.5 gm | 21 days |
Chilli | Aphids, Thrips, Whiteflies | 80–100 gm | 6–7.5 gm | 7 days |
Tomato | Whiteflies, Aphids, Thrips | 80–100 gm | 6–7.5 gm | 7 days |
Potato | Aphids, Jassids | 80–100 gm | 6–7.5 gm | 14 days |
Vegetables (General) | Aphids, Whiteflies, Thrips, Leafhoppers | 80–100 gm | 6–7.5 gm | 7 days |
How To Use NCS Texan Insecticide:
Measure the required dose of NCS Texan as per the crop-wise dose table above.
Add the measured granules to a small amount of clean water in a separate container and stir until fully dissolved.
Pour the dissolved solution into the sprayer tank and fill with the remaining clean water. Mix well before spraying.
Use a hollow cone or flat fan nozzle for thorough coverage — ensure spray reaches the underside of leaves where sucking pests cluster.
Apply at the first sign of pest activity or at the economic threshold level for the target pest.
Spray during early morning or late evening — avoid spraying during peak bee foraging hours or in extreme heat.
Do not spray near beehives, flowering crops, or water bodies — Thiamethoxam is highly toxic to bees and aquatic organisms.
Rinse all sprayer equipment thoroughly with clean water after every use.
Best Time to Apply:
Apply Texan insecticide in the early morning or late evening. For Paddy hoppers, apply at the active tillering stage when pest populations first reach the economic threshold. For sucking pests in vegetables, apply at the first sign of colony formation on leaves.
Frequency of Application and Re-Entry Period:
Frequency of Application: Apply at the first sign of pest infestation. Repeat every 14–21 days if pest pressure continues. Do not exceed 2–3 applications per season; rotate with an insecticide from a different IRAC group after 2 applications to prevent resistance.
Re-Entry Period: Do not enter treated fields for at least 12 hours after spraying without proper protective gear.
Tank-Mix Compatibility: NCS Texan is compatible with most insecticides and fungicides. Avoid mixing with strongly alkaline products. Always perform a jar test before mixing with unfamiliar inputs.
Safety Precautions and Handling:
Wear gloves, goggles, and a face mask before handling or spraying Texan 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 and aquatic organisms — do not spray during active bee foraging hours, near flowering crops, beehives, ponds, rivers, or fish farms.
Keep children, pets, and livestock away from treated fields for at least 12 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.
