Godrej Hanabi is a unique insecticide that specializes in controlling mites. It's a great choice for farmers looking for an effective and safe solution to mite infestations. Here's a detailed description:

What it is:

• Acaricide: Hanabi is specifically designed to target mites, tiny pests that can cause significant damage to crops by sucking sap and causing leaf discoloration, distortion, and even defoliation.

• Contact action: It works by directly contacting the mites, disrupting their nervous system, and causing paralysis and death.

• Unique formulation: Hanabi comes in a wettable powder (WP) formulation, which is generally safer for the environment and the user compared to emulsifiable concentrates (ECs).

Active Ingredient:

• Pyridaben 20% WP

Mode of Action:

Hanabi acts as a mitochondrial electron transport inhibitor (METI). This means it disrupts the energy production process within the mites' cells, leading to their quick knockdown and eventual death.

Target Pests:

• Red spider mites: A major pest in tea, cotton, chilli, and other crops.

• Yellow spider mites

• Other mite species

Crops:

Hanabi is registered for use on various crops, including:

• Tea

• Cotton

• Chilli

• Vegetables

• Fruits

• Ornamentals

Key Features and Benefits:

• Rapid knockdown: Hanabi provides quick action against mites, starting to work soon after application.

• Broad spectrum: It's effective against all life cycle stages of mites, including eggs, nymphs, and adults. This helps prevent future infestations.

• Long-lasting control: It offers good residual activity, meaning it continues to protect the crop for an extended period.

• Rainfastness: Hanabi is relatively resistant to wash-off from rain, ensuring continued protection even after rainfall.

• Ovicidal activity: It effectively kills mite eggs, preventing the next generation from developing.

• Crop safety: Hanabi is generally safe for use on a wide range of crops.

• Environmentally friendly: The WP formulation is considered safer than ECs and other petroleum-based pesticides.

How to Use:

• Dosage: Refer to the product label for specific dosage recommendations for your target crop and pest.

• Application: Apply Hanabi as a foliar spray, ensuring thorough coverage of the plant, especially the undersides of leaves where mites often congregate.

Important Notes:

• Always read and follow the instructions on the product label carefully.

• Use appropriate safety equipment when handling and applying the insecticide.

• Store the product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat.
