Dosage and Application Method

Ramcides INSTANT should be applied as a foliar spray using the crop-specific dosage recommended above. Shake the container well before use and prepare the spray solution in clean water.

Apply the spray solution soon after preparation and ensure thorough and uniform coverage of the crop canopy. The manufacturer recommends application at the initial stage of pest infestation.

Where repeat application is required, the manufacturer indicates an interval of approximately 10–15 days depending on pest infestation level. Always give priority to the instructions on the current product label.

Mode of Action of Lambda-cyhalothrin 5% EC

Lambda-cyhalothrin acts on the nervous system of susceptible insects by interacting with sodium channels in nerve cells. This disturbs normal nerve transmission, leading to rapid loss of normal insect activity and eventual mortality.

The active ingredient acts mainly through contact and ingestion. Ramcides also states that it is rapidly absorbed by roots and foliage. Correct spray timing and thorough coverage help improve exposure of target pests to the treatment.
