Why Choose Sarvotam? Key Benefits
-
⏱️
Fast Knockdown & Long Control: Kills pests quickly upon contact or ingestion and provides lasting protection for several days.
-
🛡️
Systemic & Translaminar Action: Absorbed by the plant, it moves through the leaves (translaminar) and plant's vascular system (systemic) to kill hidden pests, even on the underside of leaves.
-
⏳
Kills All Life Stages: A true "one-shot solution" with ovicidal properties, meaning it destroys eggs, nymphs, and adult pests, effectively breaking the pest life cycle.
-
🌧️
Works with Hard Water: The advanced SP formulation contains a high-quality chelating agent (Sodium Citrate) that "softens" hard water, ensuring the insecticide dissolves perfectly and remains 100% effective.
-
🌿
Gentle on Crops: Sarvotam is non-phytotoxic, meaning it is safe for your crops when used at the recommended dosage and does not cause leaf-burning.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Sarvotam targets the insect's nervous system for rapid and complete control:
- Contact & Ingestion: Pests are killed when they touch the spray (contact action) or when they feed on the treated plant (stomach action).
- Nerve Disruption: Acetamiprid binds to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR) in the insect's nerve cells.
- Paralysis & Death: This binding causes unstoppable nerve firing, leading to hyperexcitation, convulsions, paralysis, and ultimately, death of the pest.
This modern mode of action is highly effective against sucking pests that may be resistant to older insecticides.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Cotton | Whiteflies, Jassids, Aphids |
| Rice (Paddy) | Brown Plant Hopper (BPH) |
| Cabbage / Okra (Bhendi) | Aphids |
| Chilli | Thrips |
Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" (or per Hectare) for accurate results, not simplified "per tank" estimates.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (gm / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (gm / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cotton | 20 - 40 gm | 200 - 240 L | ~0.1 - 0.2 | 15 |
| Rice (Paddy) | 20 - 40 gm | 200 - 240 L | ~0.1 - 0.2 | 7 |
| Cabbage | 30 gm | 200 - 240 L | ~0.15 | 7 |
| Okra | 30 gm | 200 - 240 L | ~0.15 | 3 |
| Chilli | 20 - 40 gm | 200 - 240 L | ~0.1 - 0.2 | 3 |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting. The short 3-day PHI for Okra and Chilli is a major advantage for farmers.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply the first spray as soon as pests begin to appear. Repeat sprays if pest infestation is high, always respecting the PHI.
- Mixing: Sarvotam is a Soluble Powder (SP). Mix the required quantity of powder in a small amount of water to make a smooth paste, then add the remaining water and stir well.
- Coverage: Use a knapsack or power sprayer. Ensure thorough and uniform coverage of the plant, especially the undersides of leaves where sucking pests hide.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
