Key Benefits
Broad-Spectrum Control: One product handles multiple types of pests, including caterpillars, mites, and sucking insects.
Translaminar Movement: Protects the whole leaf, even if the spray only hits the top surface.
Resistance Management: Due to its unique mode of action, it is a great tool for managing pests that have developed resistance to other chemical classes.
Application Instructions
Mixing: Fill the spray tank halfway with water, add the required quantity of Carina, stir well, and then fill the remaining water.
Timing: Apply when the pest population reaches the Economic Threshold Level (ETL). Evening or early morning applications are most effective to avoid high temperatures and rapid evaporation.
Coverage: Ensure uniform and thorough coverage of the plant canopy.
Safety Precautions
Weather: Do not spray during high winds or if rain is expected within a few hours.
Safety Gear: Use a mask, gloves, and protective eyewear during mixing and application.
Honeybees: Carina is toxic to bees; avoid spraying during active foraging or peak flowering periods.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place in the original container, far away from food items and out of reach of children.
Waiting Period: Observe the specific Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI) for each crop (usually 10–15 days for Cotton) to ensure residue levels are safe.
