Coromandel Canister is a broad-spectrum insecticide and acaricide mainly used in chilli for controlling mites and sucking pests. Canister insecticide contains Hexythiazox 3.5% + Diafenthiuron 42% WDG, a dual-action formulation that helps control pest pressure at different life stages. It is useful against mites, whiteflies, thrips, aphids, and jassids that damage chilli leaves, shoots, flowers, and fruiting parts. Coromandel Canister works through mite growth regulation and metabolic disruption, helping reduce feeding, movement, and further pest multiplication. It gives better results when sprayed early, before the pest population becomes heavy.
Key Features and Benefits of Canister Insecticide:
Dual-Action Formula: Coromandel Canister combines Hexythiazox and Diafenthiuron, giving two different actions for better protection.
Life Stages Control: Hexythiazox 3.5% + Diafenthiuron 42% WDG eliminates mites at egg, larval, nymph, and adult stages.
Effective on Sucking Pests: The product helps control whiteflies, thrips, aphids, and jassids that suck sap and weaken chilli plants.
Longer Residual Support: Coromandel Canister gives longer protection when applied at the correct time with full crop coverage.
Better Leaf Health: Canister insecticide helps reduce yellowing, curling, bronzing, and weak growth caused by mites and sucking insects.
Resistance Management: The combinational formula of Hexythiazox 3.5% + Diafenthiuron 42% WDG makes it hard for pests to develop resistance.
Canister Insecticide Uses:
Mites: Yellow mite, red mite, eggs, larvae, nymphs, adults, and mite colonies on chilli leaves.
Sucking Pests: Whiteflies, thrips, aphids, and jassids that reduce plant vigour.
Leaf Damage Symptoms: Leaf curling, yellowing, bronzing, drying, and weak new growth caused by pest feeding.
Chilli Crop Protection: Mixed pest pressure during vegetative, flowering, and fruiting stages.
Coromandel Canister Dose:
Use the product as a foliar spray in chilli with clean water and full canopy coverage. Canister insecticide Dose Per Litre is around 1.3 g per litre of water. For acre application, use about 260 g per acre in nearly 200 litres of water. Spray should reach the lower side of leaves because mites, whiteflies, and thrips often remain hidden there.
Crop | Target Pest | Dose per acre | Application Method | PHI |
Chilli | Mites | 260 gm | Foliar spray with full leaf coverage | Follow label |
Chilli | Whiteflies and thrips | 260 gm | Spray on upper and lower leaf surfaces | Follow label |
Chilli | Aphids and jassids | 260 gm | Foliar spray during early pest activity | Follow label |
Chilli | Mixed mite and sucking pest pressure | 260 gm | Uniform canopy spray in about 200 L water | Follow label |
How to Use Coromandel Canister:
Measure the required quantity as per crop area and pest pressure.
Fill the spray tank halfway with clean water.
Mix the measured granules in a small amount of water first.
Add the prepared mixture into the spray tank.
Add the remaining water and stir the solution properly.
Spray evenly on the chilli crop canopy.
Cover the lower leaf surface where mites and whiteflies usually stay.
Apply when pest activity is first noticed in the field.
Avoid spraying during strong wind, rain, or very hot afternoon weather.
Use the prepared spray solution on the same day.
Do not store leftover spray mixture for later use.
Best Time to Apply:
Apply Coromandel Canister when mites, whiteflies, thrips, aphids, or jassids are first seen on the crop. Morning or evening spraying is better because crop stress and spray loss are lower. The product gives better results when pest pressure is still at an early to moderate level. Avoid spraying on drought-stressed, waterlogged, or weak chilli plants.
Frequency of Application and Re-entry Period:
Frequency of Application: One timely application can help manage early to moderate pest pressure. Repeat only if pest activity continues and label guidance allows it.
Re-Entry Period: Do not enter the treated field for at least 24 hours after spraying without proper protective gear.
Compatibility: Do not mix with other pesticides, fertilizers, micronutrients, or plant growth products without checking compatibility first.
Application Care: Good coverage is important because mites and sucking pests often hide on the underside of leaves.
Resistance Care: Rotate with other suitable insecticide or miticide groups and avoid repeated sprays of the same chemistry.
Safety Precautions and Handling:
Read the label carefully before mixing and spraying.
Wear gloves, mask, goggles, long sleeves, and protective footwear during application.
Do not eat, drink, smoke, or chew anything while using the product.
Avoid direct contact with skin, eyes, and mouth.
Do not inhale spray mist or dust while preparing the solution.
