GHAJINI is a systemic insecticide manufactured by HPM India. It contains Imidacloprid 70% WG (Water Dispersible Granule) as its active ingredient. This insecticide is highly effective against a broad spectrum of sucking pests in various crops like rice, cotton, and vegetables.
Key features and benefits:
Broad-spectrum activity: GHAJINI effectively controls a wide range of sucking pests, including:
Leafhoppers/Planthoppers
Aphids
Jassids
Thrips
Whiteflies
Termites (soil insect)
Some biting insects
Systemic action: It is absorbed by the plant through its roots and foliage and translocated throughout its vascular system, providing long-lasting protection from within.
Translaminar activity: GHAJINI also moves through the leaf tissue, offering protection on both sides of the leaves.
Contact and stomach action: It works by both contacting the pest and being ingested, leading to quick and effective control.
Long-lasting effect: GHAJINI provides extended residual control, reducing the frequency of applications.
Cost-effective: It is effective at relatively low dosages, making it economical to use.
Suitable for IPM: GHAJINI can be integrated into Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs.
Mode of action:
Imidacloprid is a neonicotinoid insecticide that acts as an antagonist by binding to postsynaptic nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the insect central nervous system. This disrupts the nerve impulse transmission, causing paralysis and ultimately death of the pest.
Recommended crops:
GHAJINI is recommended for use in:
Rice
Cotton
Vegetables (e.g., tomato, brinjal, okra)
Other crops infested with sucking pests
Application:
GHAJINI is a water dispersible granule (WG) formulation. It should be dissolved in water according to the recommended dosage and applied as a foliar spray. Ensure thorough coverage of the crop for optimal results. Always refer to the product label for specific instructions.
