Dual Force Systemic Insecticide (Jubaili) | 10g

Description

Dual Force Systemic Insecticide (Jubaili) | 10g is a potent combination systemic insecticide from Jubaili, designed to provide rapid and long-lasting control against a broad spectrum of sucking and chewing pests. The “Dual” in its name typically refers to its two active ingredients, which work together to enhance efficacy and combat insect resistance. This 10g water-soluble sachet is a convenient, pre-measured dose for small-scale applications, making it suitable for home gardeners and smallholder farmers.

Features & Characteristics of Dual Force Systemic Insecticide (Jubaili) | 10g:

• Active Ingredients: Commonly, a combination of two different chemical classes, such as:

  • Acetamiprid (Neonicotinoid): Systemic action, absorbed by the plant.

  • Bifenthrin (Pyrethroid): Contact and stomach action, with repellent properties.

  • **CRITICAL:** Always check the product label for the exact active ingredients and their concentrations, as formulations can vary by region.

• Dual Mode of Action: This is the core feature.

  • Systemic Action: One ingredient is absorbed by the plant, protecting new growth and internal tissues from sap-sucking pests.

  • Contact Action: The second ingredient provides a “knockdown” effect, killing pests on direct contact and creating a protective barrier on the leaf surface.

• Target Pests: Effective against a wide range of insects, including:

  • Sucking Pests: Whiteflies, Aphids, Jassids (Leafhoppers), Thrips, Mealybugs.

  • Chewing Pests: Bollworms, Fruit Borers, Leafminers, Caterpillars.

• Speed and Longevity: Offers both quick results (from the contact ingredient) and extended protection (from the systemic ingredient).

How to Use: Application & Mixing Process:

CRITICAL: This is a chemical pesticide. Read the entire product label on the sachet before use. The information below is a general guideline and must not replace the manufacturer’s specific instructions.**

1. Dosage and Mixing

• Dosage: A 10g sachet is typically designed to be diluted in a standard volume of water, such as 8-10 liters (approx. 2-2.5 gallons). Confirm this exact ratio on the label.

• Mixing Instructions:

  1. Wear PPE (see safety section below).

  2. Fill your sprayer halfway with clean water.

  3. Open the sachet and add the entire contents to the tank.

  4. Agitate or stir thoroughly until the powder is completely dissolved.

  5. Top up the tank with the remaining water and mix again to ensure a uniform solution.

2. Application Methods & Timing

• Primary Method: Foliar Spray.

  • Coverage: Spray to thoroughly cover all parts of the plant, especially the undersides of leaves where pests like to hide and lay eggs.

  • Sprayer: Use a knapsack or hand-held sprayer with a fine nozzle for an even coat.

• Timing:

  • Apply when pests are first observed. Early intervention is key.

  • Best Time to Spray: Early morning or late afternoon to avoid bright sunlight, which can reduce efficacy and increase the risk of leaf burn.

  • Do not spray when plants are under water stress (wilting).

When and What to Use It On:

• Common Crops: Labeled for a variety of vegetables, fruits, and ornamentals, including:

  • Vegetables: Tomatoes, Peppers, Cucumbers, Eggplants, Cabbage, Okra.

  • Fruits: Citrus, Mangoes, Pomegranates.

  • Ornamentals: Roses, Flowers, Shrubs.

• Always check the label for the specific crop registration and any restrictions.

Outcomes and Effectiveness:

• What to Expect:

  • Rapid Knockdown: You will see a reduction in live, mobile pests on the plant surface within hours to a day due to the contact action.

  • Long-Term Control: The systemic activity provides ongoing protection for 1-2 weeks (or as stated on the label) by controlling pests that feed on the plant sap or bore into tissues.

  • Reduced Damage: New signs of pest damage (chewed leaves, yellowing, honeydew) should cease.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry, locked place, away from food, feed, and out of reach of children and animals. Dispose of the empty sachet responsibly.
