Mode of Entry: Systemic, contact and stomach action
Mode of Action: Katyayani Chakrawarti combines two insecticidal chemistries with complementary activity. Thiamethoxam is absorbed through the roots and foliage and moves upwards through the xylem within the treated plant. Lambda Cyhalothrin provides contact and stomach action against target insects. This combination gives quick knockdown of sucking pests and leaf eating caterpillars, followed by residual pest control.
Time of Application: Apply when insects begin to appear at the economic threshold level.
