Lambda Cyhalothrin 25gr/lt 100ml

Chemica's marketed leading Lambda is a powerful insecticide that is effective in controlling a wide variety of pests. It has a special formula and high potency. It controls harmful insects.

Lambda is a broad-spectrum pyrethroid insecticide, with stomach and contact poisoning effects, disrupting the gating mechanism of sodium channels of insects.

t's a dual-action insecticide, which means that the synthetic pyrethroid gets to work right away, either by touch or via ingestion.

Lambda provides faster knockdown and stronger residual control than permethrin, even at lower concentrations. Permethrin, while effective, may require higher application rates and offers moderate residual performance on certain surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• Standard Dosage: Mix 25ml of the insecticide per 16 litres of water (knapsack sprayer). For a standard 1-litre spray bottle, use approximately 1.5ml of the chemical.
• Application: Shake well and spray evenly on the foliage, ensuring you hit both the tops and bottoms of the leaves where pests hide. 

• The Waiting Period: The general Pre-Harvest Interval (the time you must wait between spraying and harvesting crops safely) is 7 days for most vegetables like cabbage. Always check your specific product label, as PHI varies by crop type. 

• Indoor Use Restrictions: If your 100ml bottle is formulated as a Capsule Suspension (CS), it is specifically designed for indoor residual spraying (IRS) against mosquitoes, ants, and cockroaches. 
• Safety First: If it is an Emulsifiable Concentrate (EC) formulation, it is primarily meant for outdoor agricultural use. Do not apply EC formulations in confined indoor spaces unless the label explicitly outlines domestic indoor protocols.

• High Toxicity: No. It is highly toxic to bees, silkworms, fish, and aquatic life.
• Precautions: Avoid spraying during the flowering period when bees are actively foraging. Never wash your spraying equipment in ponds, rivers, or streams. Keep household pets away from treated areas until the spray has dried completely.

• Compatibility: It is compatible with most neutral or slightly acidic pesticides and foliar nutrients.
• What to Avoid: Do not mix it with alkaline mixtures (like Bordeaux mixture or lime-sulfur) as alkaline environments break down the active ingredient and ruin its effectiveness. 

• Required Gear: Always wear rubber gloves, a face mask, long sleeves, long trousers, and protective goggles when handling and mixing the concentrate. Wash your hands and exposed skin thoroughly with soap and water after application.
