PI Fosmite is a highly effective broad-spectrum insecticide-acaricide from PI Industries, designed for effective control of mites, aphids, jassids, whitefly, thrips, mealybugs, scale insects, and other important sucking pests and mites in cotton, chilli, tea, grapes, mango, citrus, tomato, brinjal, and other important field, plantation, and horticultural crops.

What is the Fosmite insecticide dose per litre of water?

The Fosmite insecticide dose per litre is around 2 ml per litre of water, based on about 400 ml mixed in 200 litres of water per acre. Always follow the product label for the exact crop-wise dose and spray volume recommended for the best mite and pest control in the field.

What is the Fosmite insecticide dose per acre?

The recommended Fosmite insecticide dose is around 400 ml per acre, mixed in about 200 litres of water for uniform foliar spray. Adjust the rate based on the crop, pest pressure, growth stage, and product label recommendations for the best results in the field.

What are the main Fosmite insecticide uses in different crops?

Fosmite insecticide uses include control of mites and sucking pests in cotton, thrips and mites in chilli, red spider mite and other pests in tea, mites, mealybugs, and thrips in grapes, mango hoppers, mealybugs, and scale insects in mango and citrus, and various mite and sucking pests in other crops.

Which pests are controlled by PI Fosmite insecticide?

PI Fosmite controls a broad range of pests, including red spider mite, yellow mite, two-spotted spider mite, aphids, jassids, whitefly, thrips, mealybugs, scale insects, mango hoppers, and other important mites and sucking pests in cotton, chilli, tea, grapes, mango, citrus, tomato, brinjal, and various other important crops.

How does Fosmite insecticide work on pests?

Fosmite works as an organophosphate insecticide-acaricide by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase enzyme in the insect and mite nervous system. This causes overstimulation of nerves, paralysis, and death of mites and sucking pests, giving strong contact and stomach action along with reliable pest control in the treated crop.

Is Fosmite effective against mites in cotton and chilli?

Yes, PI Fosmite is highly effective against red spider mite, yellow mite, and two-spotted spider mite in cotton, chilli, brinjal, tomato, and other crops. Its acaricide action gives quick knockdown of mites and their eggs, reducing webbing, foliage damage, and yield loss during hot dry weather conditions in the field.

Is Fosmite effective against mites in tea and grapes?

Yes, PI Fosmite is very effective against red spider mite, purple mite, and other important mites in tea and grapes. Its acaricide action gives strong knockdown of mites at various life stages, protects leaves and berries from feeding damage, and helps in maintaining healthy foliage for better made-tea quality or fruit yield.

Is PI Fosmite a systemic insecticide?

PI Fosmite works mainly through strong contact and stomach action, not deep systemic action. After spraying, its active ingredient reaches mites and sucking pests on the leaf surface and on both sides of leaves, giving effective and reliable multi-pest control in the treated crop through uniform spray coverage.

How to apply PI Fosmite insecticide correctly?

Mix the recommended dose of Fosmite in a small amount of water first, then add to the spray tank filled with about 200 litres of water per acre. Spray uniformly using a knapsack, battery, or motorized sprayer, ensuring good coverage on both upper and lower leaf surfaces of the crop.

When is the best time to spray Fosmite insecticide?

The best time to spray PI Fosmite is at the first appearance of mite webbing, sucking pest activity, or fresh feeding damage. Apply during cool morning or evening hours, avoiding strong wind and hot afternoons, and ensure thorough spray coverage on both upper and lower leaf surfaces of the crop.

How should PI Fosmite insecticide be stored safely?

Store PI Fosmite insecticide in its original sealed bottle in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place, away from direct sunlight, food, feed, children, and animals. Wear proper protective clothing during use, and keep the cap tightly closed after use to maintain product quality till expiry.

The dose may change as per crop, pest, canopy size, and label guidance. Fosmite insecticide should be sprayed evenly on both upper and lower leaf surfaces.

Crop	Target Pest	Dose per Acre	Application Method	PHI
Tea	Red spider mites, purple mites, yellow mites, thrips, scales	80 to 160 ml	Foliar spray with full leaf coverage	Follow label
Cotton	Whiteflies and bollworms	80 to 160 ml	Foliar spray on leaves, flowers, and bolls	Follow label
Chilli	Mites and thrips	80 to 160 ml	Foliar spray on tender leaves and flowers	Follow label
Gram	Pod borer	80 to 160 ml	Spray during early pod borer activity	Follow label
Pigeon Pea	Pod borer	80 to 160 ml	Foliar spray on flowers and pods	Follow label
Soybean	Girdle beetle and stem fly	80 to 160 ml	Uniform canopy spray	Follow label

How to Use PI Fosmite:

Measure the required PI Fosmite quantity as per crop area and pest pressure.
Fill the spray tank halfway with clean water.
Mix the measured Fosmite insecticide quantity in a small amount of water first.
Add the prepared PI Fosmite solution into the main spray tank.
Add the remaining water and stir the mixture properly.
Spray Fosmite insecticide uniformly on the crop canopy.
Cover lower leaf surfaces because mites, thrips, scales, and whiteflies often stay there.
In cotton, cover leaves, squares, flowers, and boll areas properly.
In tea, cover fresh leaves and mite-active areas evenly.
In pulse crops, apply PI Fosmite on flowers, pods, and tender crop parts.
Avoid spraying during strong wind, rainfall, or hot afternoon weather.
Use the prepared Fosmite insecticide spray solution on the same day.

Best Time to Apply:

Apply PI Fosmite when mites, thrips, whiteflies, bollworms, pod borers, or other listed pests are first noticed. Fosmite insecticide performs better when pest pressure is low to moderate, and spray reaches pest-active areas. Morning or evening application is better because spray loss is lower and crop stress is reduced.

Frequency of Application and Re-Entry Period:

Frequency of Application: One timely Fosmite insecticide spray can help manage early pest pressure. Repeat PI Fosmite only if pest pressure continues and label guidance allows it.
Re-Entry Period: Do not enter the treated field for at least 24 hours after Fosmite insecticide application without protective gear.
Compatibility: PI Fosmite should not be mixed with unknown pesticides, fertilizers, micronutrients, or alkaline products without a jar test.
Application Care: Fosmite insecticide gives better results when spray coverage reaches lower leaf surfaces and hidden pest areas.
Resistance Care: Rotate PI Fosmite with other suitable insecticide groups and avoid repeated use of the same chemistry in every spray cycle.
