FAQs for Shriram Mono 36 (Monocrotophos 36% SL) Insecticide
1. What is Monocrotophos, and how does it work?
Ans. Monocrotophos is a systemic organophosphate insecticide (36% SL) that disrupts the insect nervous system by inhibiting the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE), causing paralysis and rapid pest death. It offers both contact and stomach action.
2. Which pests and crops is it effective on?
Ans. Used against a wide range of sucking and chewing pests: aphids, jassids, thrips, whiteflies, bollworms, mites, leaf hoppers, pod borers, and more. Reported suitable for crops like cotton, paddy, maize, pulses, and fruit crops like mango and citrus.
3. What dosage and application method is recommended?
Ans. Apply about 30–40 ml per pump sprayer (approx. 15 L) or 350–500 ml per hectare, depending on equipment. Use adequate water volume (200–300 L/ha) to ensure even coverage.
4. How quickly does it act, and what results can be expected?
