Rallis Nagata (Ethion 40% + Cypermethrin 5% EC) – Product Overview
Rallis Nagata is a powerful, dual-action combination insecticide containing Ethion 40% and Cypermethrin 5% EC. By combining an organophosphate (Ethion) with a synthetic pyrethroid (Cypermethrin), Nagata provides a "one-two punch" against a wide variety of pests. It is especially famous for its ability to control the complex problem of sucking pests and bollworms simultaneously.
Key Features & Mode of Action
Synergistic Effect: The combination of two different chemistries makes it much more effective than using either ingredient alone. It helps in managing pests that have developed resistance to single-molecule insecticides.
Multi-Dimensional Action: It works through contact, stomach, and fumigant action. It also possesses significant miticidal properties, meaning it kills mites along with insects.
Cholinesterase & Sodium Channel Disruption: Ethion inhibits vital enzymes in the pest's nervous system, while Cypermethrin disrupts nerve signal transmission. This dual attack leads to immediate paralysis and death.
Ovicidal Property: Nagata is known to be effective against the eggs of various insects, preventing the next generation from damaging the crop.
Recommended Uses on Various Crops
Nagata is a versatile solution, widely used in fiber, oilseed, and vegetable crops for comprehensive pest management.

Key Benefits
Broad Spectrum Control: It effectively manages a "complex" of pests (e.g., Whiteflies + Bollworms) in a single application.
Mite Specialist: Unlike many common insecticides, Nagata’s Ethion component makes it highly effective against mites, saving the cost of a separate miticide.
Quick Knockdown: Provides a very fast visible effect on pests, stopping crop damage shortly after the spray.
Cost-Effective: Offers a high level of protection at a lower cost per acre compared to many newer specialty molecules.
Excellent Penetration: It has good translaminar and vapor action, helping it reach pests hidden in dense foliage.
Application & Safety Guidelines
Uniform Spray: For best results, ensure thorough coverage of the entire plant, including the undersides of the leaves.
Timing: Apply when the pest population reaches the Economic Threshold Level (ETL). It is highly effective during the peak vegetative and reproductive stages of the crop.
Water Volume: Use 150–200 liters of water per acre for field crops to ensure the chemical is properly distributed.
Safety Precautions: Nagata has a strong odor and high toxicity to aquatic life and bees. Avoid spraying during the active flowering period and near water bodies. Always wear a mask, gloves, and protective clothing.
