Product Overview
Technical Name: Ethion 40% + Cypermethrin 5% EC
Chemical Group: Organophosphorus + Synthetic Pyrethroid
Mode of Action:
Contact & Stomach Action: It provides immediate results upon contact or ingestion.
Synergistic Power: The combination of Ethion (strong acaricidal and insecticidal properties) and Cypermethrin (fast knockdown) creates a lethal effect on pests at lower dosages.

Application Instructions
Mixing: Add the recommended dose to a small amount of water to create a uniform emulsion before filling the spray tank to the required volume.
Spray Quality: Use a hollow cone nozzle for fine mist and better coverage. Ensure the spray reaches the lower parts of the plant and the undersides of the leaves.
Timing: For maximum efficacy, apply during early morning or evening hours. Avoid application during peak sunlight or strong winds.
Safety Precautions
Personal Safety: This is a potent formulation. Use full protective gear, including a face mask, chemical-resistant gloves, and goggles. Wash hands and face thoroughly after use.
Pollinators: Highly toxic to bees. Do not spray during the active flowering period.
Aquatic Life: Avoid contamination of ponds, lakes, or streams as it is toxic to fish and aquatic organisms.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from children, pets, and food items.
Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI): Always follow the mandatory waiting period (typically 15–21 days) between the last spray and harvest to ensure food safety.
