Tata Manik Insecticide (Acetamiprid 20% SP): The Ultimate Sucking Pest Solution

Stop Whiteflies, Aphids, and Jassids instantly with the trusted power of Rallis India.

Tata Manik is a high-performance systemic insecticide designed to tackle the toughest sucking pest complexes in Indian agriculture. Powered by Acetamiprid 20% SP, it provides a "dual-action" defense—working by contact and through the plant's system to kill hidden pests.

Whether you are battling Whiteflies in Cotton or Thrips in Chilli, Manik offers a safe, economical, and highly effective solution. Unlike older pesticides, its unique Soluble Powder (SP) formulation is gentle on crops but deadly to pests, ensuring your yields remain healthy and profitable.

Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits

• ⏱️
  Rapid "Lock-Jaw" Effect: Stops pests from feeding immediately upon contact. The insect stops sucking sap instantly, preventing further viral transmission.
• ?️
  Translaminar & Systemic Action: It penetrates the leaf and hides inside the plant tissues. This kills "hidden pests" sitting on the underside of leaves where sprays can't reach.
• ⏳
  Long-Lasting Protection: Stays active inside the plant system for 10 to 15 days, reducing the need for frequent spraying and saving labor costs.
• ?️
  Rainfast in 2-6 Hours: Once the spray dries (approx. 2-6 hours), the medicine is absorbed into the plant and cannot be washed away by sudden rain.
• ?
  Pollinator Safer Profile: Compared to other neonicotinoids like Imidacloprid, Tata Manik is relatively safer for honeybees when applied in the evening.

How It Works: Mode of Action

Tata Manik attacks the Central Nervous System of the insect. It mimics the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, causing over-stimulation of the insect's nerves.

1. Translocation: Upon spraying, the chemical penetrates the leaf surface (translaminar) and travels upwards through the plant's water pipes (Xylem).
2. Ingestion: When Aphids or Whiteflies suck the sap, they ingest the poison directly.
3. Paralysis: The insect enters a state of hyperexcitement followed by paralysis, starvation, and death. It also kills eggs (ovicidal action) to break the generation cycle.

Note: Because it moves upwards to new leaves, it protects new growth that emerges after spraying.

Dosage & Application Guide

The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results. Using less water reduces efficacy.

Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)

*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting to ensure residues are within safe limits.

How to Apply: Best Practices

• Timing: Apply during the early morning or late evening to protect foraging bees and reduce evaporation. Avoid spraying in peak afternoon heat.
• Mixing: Dissolve the required quantity (e.g., 100g) in a small bucket of water first to create a solution, then add this to your spray tank.
• Coverage: Ensure the nozzle is directed toward the undersides of the leaves where Whiteflies and Aphids hide. Use adequate water (min 150L/acre).
• Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
