How It Works: Mode of Action
Baadshah works as a sophisticated neurotoxin that specifically targets the insect's nervous system.
- Entry (Contact & Ingestion): When the pest touches the sprayed leaf or sucks the sap, the chemical enters their body.
- Nervous System Attack: It binds to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the insect's central nervous system, mimicking natural nerve signals.
- Paralysis & Elimination: Unlike natural signals, Baadshah cannot be broken down by the insect. This causes continuous excitement (tremors), leading to paralysis and death.
Because of its translaminar action, it also penetrates the leaf to kill pests hiding on the underside.

Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (gm / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (gm / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cotton | 20 - 40 g | 200 - 240 L | ~0.1 - 0.2 g | 15 |
| Cabbage | 30 g | 200 - 240 L | ~0.15 g | 7 |
| Okra & Chilli | 20 - 40 g | 200 - 240 L | ~0.1 - 0.2 g | 3 |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting. Water volume calculated based on 500-600L/Ha standard.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply as soon as you see the first signs of sucking pests (Aphids/Jassids). Avoid spraying during peak bee activity (spray in the evening).
- Mixing: Ensure the powder is fully dissolved in water. Use the correct volume of water (approx 200 Liters per acre) for best results.
- Coverage: Spray thoroughly, ensuring the nozzle is directed to cover both the upper and lower surfaces of leaves where pests hide.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
