Sudarshan is a broad-spectrum insecticide that targets a wide range of sucking and chewing pests, such as stem borer, leaf folder, and early shoot borer. This insecticide targets the muscle functions of the insects, which leads to paralysis and death. Sudarshan insecticide has a residual effect, making it last for a longer period on crops like paddy and sugarcane. It provides immediate results and reduces damage, minimizing the risk of crop loss.

Highly Effective: This insecticide works effectively on the crops even with a lower dosage, making it cost-effective for the farmers.

How to Use Sudarshan Insecticide:
Shake the product bottle well before opening to ensure a uniform mix.
Measure the required quantity of Sudarshan Insecticide as per the crop-wise dosage table.
Fill the spray tank with about 70% of the required clean water.
Slowly add the measured product into the tank while stirring continuously.
Top up with the remaining water and mix thoroughly until a uniform spray solution is formed.
Spray evenly on both upper and lower leaf surfaces, covering hidden areas where pests usually settle.
Re-apply at 10 to 14-day intervals if pest pressure continues or new infestation appears.
Best Time to Apply:
Spray Sudarshan Insecticide as soon as small pest colonies are first noticed on the underside of leaves, shoot tips, or flower buds. For caterpillar pests, target the early-larval stage when worms are still small and feeding actively. Avoid spraying during high winds or just before rain; instead, choose a calm morning or late evening so the product settles well on the foliage.
Frequency of Application and Re-entry Period:
Frequency of Application: Apply Sudarshan Insecticide 2 to 3 times per crop cycle at 10 to 14-day intervals, depending on pest pressure and crop growth stage.
Re-Entry Period: Do not enter treated fields for at least 12 to 24 hours after application without proper protective clothing.
Compatibility: Sudarshan Insecticide is compatible with most commonly used fungicides, insecticides, and water-soluble fertilizers. Avoid mixing with strongly alkaline products like Bordeaux mixture, and always perform a small jar test before any tank-mix.
Safety, Precautions and Handling:
Wear hand gloves, a face mask, full-sleeve clothing, and protective eyewear while handling Sudarshan Insecticide.
Refrain from eating, drinking, smoking, or chewing anything during the preparation and application of the product.
Avoid direct skin, eye, or mouth contact with the concentrate or its spray solution.
After completing the spray, wash hands, face, and exposed body parts thoroughly with soap and clean water.
Always spray downwind so the mist drifts away from the operator; never spray against the wind direction.
Keep children, pets, livestock, and unprotected persons away from the field during and immediately after spraying.
In case of accidental ingestion or contact, rinse with plenty of water and consult a doctor with the product label.
