Minimized Crop Loss

By providing quick and effective pest control, Minecto Forte helps reduce crop damage and minimizes the risk of pest-induced crop loss, contributing to higher yields and better overall crop health.

How Minecto Forte Works?

Minecto Forte contains a powerful blend of insecticidal agents that act as systemic and contact insecticides. Once applied, the insecticide works by:

1. Contact Action: When pests come into direct contact with the treated surface, the active ingredients paralyze their nervous system, leading to rapid death.

2. Systemic Action: The insecticide is absorbed through the plant’s vascular system, traveling to different parts of the plant and providing long-term protection by killing pests that feed on the plant’s sap.

Application Instructions:

For optimal results, follow these application steps:

1. Mixing:
   For best results, dilute Minecto Forte as per the manufacturer's recommended dosage. Typically, the application rate is between 10-15 mL of Minecto Forte per liter of water, depending on the severity of the infestation.

2. Spraying:
   Use a fine nozzle sprayer to apply the solution evenly on both the upper and lower sides of leaves, stems, and other parts of the plant where pests are present. The goal is to ensure thorough coverage without excessive runoff.

3. Timing of Application:
   Apply Minecto Forte early in the morning or late in the afternoon when environmental conditions are cooler. This helps reduce the risk of evaporation and allows the insecticide to remain on the plant surface longer.

4. Reapplication:
   Depending on pest pressure, reapply every 7-14 days or as recommended by your local agricultural advisor. Always follow the product label for specific guidance on reapplication intervals.

5. Safety Precautions:
   Always wear protective gloves, mask, and other protective gear while handling or applying Minecto Forte to minimize exposure to the insecticide. Ensure that the area is well-ventilated and follow all safety instructions provided on the label.
