Description
Indofil Rimon Insecticide is a novel benzoyl phenyl urea compound that acts as an insect growth regulator (IGR). It is effective against a wide range of insect pests, including the American bollworm, diamondback moth, fruit borer, and pod borer.
Mode of action
Rimon works by inhibiting chitin synthesis, which is a protein that is essential for the formation of insect exoskeletons. This causes the larvae to stop feeding and eventually die.
Dosage
The dosage of Rimon will vary depending on the crop and the pest being targeted. The following are some general guidelines:
- Cotton: 400 mL/acre
- Cabbage: 300 mL/acre
- Tomato: 300 mL/acre
- Chilli: 150 mL/acre
- Bengal gram: 300 mL/acre
Application method
Rimon can be applied as a foliar spray. It is important to apply the spray evenly to the entire plant, including the underside of the leaves.
Safety precautions
Rimon is a relatively safe insecticide, but it is important to take some safety precautions when handling it. These include:
- Wearing gloves, long sleeves, and pants when applying the spray.
- Avoiding contact with the skin and eyes.
- Storing the product in a cool, dry place.
Benefits
Rimon offers a number of benefits over other insecticides, including:
- It is effective against a wide range of insect pests.
- It has a long residual activity, meaning that it provides protection for a longer period of time.
- It is relatively safe to use, both for humans and for the environment.
