FAQs – Gharda Jugaad (Profenophos 40% + Cypermethrin 4% EC)
1. What pests and crops is this insecticide used for?
Ans. Gharda Jugaad is a broad-spectrum insecticide suitable for a wide range of pests, including sucking (aphids, whiteflies, jassids) and chewing pests (bollworms, caterpillars). It’s commonly used on cotton, vegetables (brinjal, tomato, chili), soybean, maize, groundnut, and other field crops.
2. How does the dual-mode formulation work?
Ans.
- Profenophos inhibits the insect’s enzyme acetylcholinesterase, causing nerve transmission failure and paralysis.
- Cypermethrin is a pyrethroid that disrupts sodium channel function in insect nerves, leading to convulsions and death.
- The synergy offers both a rapid knockdown and extended protective effect.
3. What are the key benefits of using this combination?
Ans.
- Immediate and effective control of both sucking and chewing pests.
- Proven ovicidal and larvicidal activity across species.
- Long-lasting residual effect and excellent translaminar penetration.
- Powerful resistance management due to dual action.
4. What is the recommended dosage and application practice?
Ans. Dosage varies by crop and pest pressure:
- Typical rates: 1.5–2.0 ml per liter of water for field crops.
- Apply at early infestation signs using properly calibrated sprayers ensuring full canopy coverage.
5. How does it support resistance management strategies?
Ans. By combining an organophosphate with a pyrethroid—each with distinct modes of action—Jugaad reduces the likelihood of resistance developing, making it a strong candidate in integrated pest management (IPM).
6. What safety and environmental precautions are important?
Ans.
- Aquatic toxicity: Highly toxic—avoid spraying near water bodies.
- Effects on non-targets: Can harm bees and beneficial insects—avoid application during flowering days.
- Human safety: Moderate toxicity; use full PPE, avoid inhalation or ingestion, wash thoroughly after application.
