How to Use Sumitomo Sanvex SP Insecticide:
Open the Sanvex SP pack carefully and measure the required quantity using a clean spoon or weighing cup.
Wear gloves and a face mask before measuring the product.
Half-fill the spray tank with clean water.
Slowly add the measured Sanvex SP into the tank while stirring continuously until fully dissolved.
Add the remaining water and mix thoroughly to form a uniform spray solution.
Use a fine-mist or hollow-cone nozzle for proper coverage.
Spray during calm weather, covering both upper and lower leaf surfaces.
Use 150 to 200 litres of water per acre for full canopy coverage.
Best Time to Apply:
Spray Sumitomo Sanvex SP Insecticide at the early stage of pest activity — when small caterpillars are first spotted or when initial borer damage appears. Late afternoon or early evening is the best window, as leaf temperature is cooler and product absorption is stronger.
Frequency of Application and Re-entry Period:
Frequency: 1 to 2 sprays per crop cycle at 15 to 20-day intervals, depending on pest pressure and crop stage.
Re-Entry Period: Wait at least 12 to 24 hours after spraying before re-entering the treated field without protective clothing.
Compatibility: Sanvex SP mixes well with most common fungicides, insecticides, and water-soluble fertilizers. Avoid mixing with strongly alkaline products like Bordeaux mixture, lime sulfur, or high-pH copper sprays, and always run a small jar test 24 hours before a new tank-mix combination.
Safety, Precautions and Handling:
Wear hand gloves, face mask, and protective eyewear while handling the product.
Do not eat, drink, or smoke during mixing or spraying.
