Sumitomo Yunico Flow is a broad-spectrum systemic insecticide that provides protection to the crops. This insecticide dissolves completely and instantly in water, spreads evenly through the sprayer tank, and delivers uniform coverage across the entire crop without clogging nozzles. It works through both systemic and contact action, controlling pests that feed on treated tissue and those that touch treated plant surfaces. At just 4 to 5 ml per 15 liters of water, Sumitomo Yunico Flow insecticide delivers complete pest control at one of the lowest dose rates, making it cost-effective for the farmers.

How To Use Sumitomo Yunico Flow Insecticide— Application Instructions
Measure the required quantity of the insecticide precisely — 60 ml per acre is a small dose, so accurate measurement is important for effective results.
Fill the sprayer tank to about one-third capacity with clean water before adding the product.
Pour in the measured dose and top up with the remaining water while stirring until completely uniform.
Being highly water-soluble, it mixes instantly without any residue or separation in the tank.
Spray thoroughly on both sides of the leaves — the underside of leaves is where borers and caterpillars first appear, and must be covered well.
Direct the nozzle into the plant canopy, stem base, and growing tips where larvae concentrate and hide.
Rinse the sprayer with two rounds of clean water after every use before storing.
Best Time to Apply:
Spray the insecticide in the early morning or late evening when temperatures are cool, and caterpillars are most active on plant surfaces — avoid spraying during peak heat hours to prevent evaporation and ensure maximum leaf coverage.
Frequency of Application & Re-Entry Period:
Frequency of Application: Apply at the first sign of larval activity or at the early larval stage. Repeat after 14 to 21 days if pest pressure persists. Limit to 2 applications per season — rotate with other insecticide groups to prevent resistance build-up.
Re-Entry Period: Farm workers must stay out of treated fields for at least 24 hours after spraying without full protective gear.
Tank-mix Compatibility: Sumitomo Yunico Flow insecticide is compatible with most standard fungicides and insecticides. Always run a jar test before combining two products. Avoid mixing with alkaline solutions.

Wash all exposed skin and hands thoroughly with soap and water after finishing.
Keep children, pets, and livestock well away from treated areas for at least 24 hours.
Toxic to bees — do not spray during or near the flowering stage to protect pollinators.
Keep all spray away from ponds, rivers, and open water bodies.
Triple rinse all empty containers, puncture, and dispose of them as per local waste regulations.
Storage Instructions:
Store the insecticide in the original sealed container in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and heat.
Never store near food, animal feed, drinking water, or seeds.
Keep completely out of reach of children and farm animals at all times.
