How to Use Willowood Emacto Insecticide:
Open the container carefully and measure the required quantity of Emacto 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 until fully dissolved.
Top up with the remaining water and mix thoroughly to form a uniform spray solution.
Spray evenly on both upper and lower leaf surfaces, covering shoot tips, fruits, and pods.
Pay special attention to hidden areas — leaf curls, fruit calyx, and inside flower buds where caterpillars usually shelter.
Re-apply at 10 to 14-day intervals if pest pressure continues or fresh infestation appears.
Best Time to Apply:
Spray Willowood Emacto Insecticide at the early larval stage, when small worms are first noticed on fresh growth, flowers, or developing fruits — younger larvae are far easier to control than mature ones. For bollworms and pod borers, time the spray during peak egg-laying and just after egg hatch. Pick a calm window with no rain expected for the next 4 to 6 hours.
Frequency of Application and Re-entry Period:
Frequency of Application: Apply Willowood Emacto 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: The Emacto Insecticide formulation 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 Willowood Emacto Insecticide.
