Mode of Action

Chlorpyriphos – IRAC Group 1B: Acts by inhibiting the acetylcholinesterase enzyme in susceptible insects, resulting in disruption of normal nerve impulses.

Cypermethrin – IRAC Group 3A: Acts on voltage-gated sodium channels in the insect nervous system, resulting in rapid excitation, paralysis and knockdown.

The combination provides complementary activity against susceptible sucking and chewing pests.

How to Use Pheonix Zara-505

1. Identify the crop and target insect pest correctly.
2. Measure the recommended quantity according to the current product label.
3. Partially fill the spray tank with clean water.
4. Add the measured quantity of Zara-505 and mix thoroughly.
5. Add the remaining required water while maintaining agitation.
6. Spray uniformly over the crop using properly calibrated spraying equipment.
7. Avoid excessive runoff, drift and contamination of nearby water sources.

Best Time to Apply

Apply when the registered target pest first reaches a level requiring treatment. Timely application during the early stage of infestation can help prevent severe crop damage.

Avoid spraying during strong winds, very high temperatures or when heavy rainfall is expected immediately after application.

Resistance Management

Chlorpyriphos belongs to IRAC Group 1B and Cypermethrin belongs to IRAC Group 3A. Repeated use of the same combination can still increase resistance-selection pressure.

Where additional sprays are required, rotate with appropriately registered insecticides from other effective mode-of-action groups and integrate non-chemical pest-management methods where practical.

Safety Precautions

• Read the complete product label and leaflet before use.
• Wear suitable gloves, protective clothing, eye protection and mask while mixing and spraying.
• Avoid inhalation of spray mist and direct contact with skin or eyes.
• Do not eat, drink or smoke during application.
• Avoid contamination of ponds, streams and other water bodies.
• Avoid spraying when bees are actively foraging.
• Keep children and animals away from the product and treated area according to label directions.
• Observe the prescribed waiting period before harvesting.
