Item description
Dhanuka Ad-Fyre Imidacloprid 70% WG Insecticide
Dhanuka Ad-Fyre is a systemic insecticide containing Imidacloprid 70% WG. It is registered for selected sucking pests in cotton, rice, okra, cucumber, tomato and potato. The concentrated water-dispersible granule formulation is used at low gram-per-hectare rates, so accurate measurement and label compliance are essential.
Ad-Fyre belongs to IRAC Group 4A. Use it only for the crop, pest, dose, water volume and waiting period stated on the supplied product label.
Why Choose Ad-Fyre?
- Systemic action: The active ingredient is taken up by treated plants and helps control susceptible sucking pests.
- Six label-listed crops: Registered uses cover cotton, rice, okra, cucumber, tomato and potato.
- Precise low-dose formulation: The 70% WG formulation is applied in measured gram quantities; never estimate the dose.
- Resistance-group clarity: IRAC Group 4A identification supports informed rotation planning.
- Practical pack choices: Available in 16 g, 30 g, 75 g and 150 g packs on this listing.

Use the supplied label as the final authority. The values below are stated per hectare and must not be converted to a per-litre dose without an approved spray-water basis.
| Crop | Target Pest(s) | Product Dose | Water Volume | PHI |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cotton | Jassids, aphids and thrips | 30–35 g/ha | 375–500 L/ha | 7 days |

Resistance Management
- Do not rely on repeated Group 4A applications against successive pest generations.
- Rotate with effective insecticides from a different IRAC group where the crop label and local recommendations allow.
- Products containing the same active ingredient are alternatives, not resistance-rotation partners.
- Use only when the target pest is present and follow local integrated pest-management guidance.
Application and Safety
- Measure accurately: Use a calibrated scale or the measuring aid supplied with the pack; do not estimate gram quantities.
- Mix and apply: Follow the label sequence, use clean water and maintain uniform coverage at the prescribed water volume.
- Personal protection: Wear the protective clothing and equipment specified on the label. Avoid skin contact and inhalation.
- Protect bees: Do not apply while bees are actively foraging, and follow all pollinator precautions on the label.
- Protect water: Keep spray and rinsate away from ponds, drains and aquaculture because the product can be hazardous to aquatic organisms.
- Storage and disposal: Store locked in the original labelled container, away from food, feed and children. Dispose of empty packaging exactly as directed.
