Recommended Dosage and Application Method

The reference KisanShop listing for the same Malathion 50% EC formulation gives a dosage of approximately 400–600 ml per acre, depending on the crop and pest. :chatgpt-content-reference{index="0"}

Mix the required quantity in clean water and apply uniformly over the crop foliage and pest-affected plant parts. Since dosage can vary by crop, pest and label registration, the original Sourabh Agro product label should take priority.

Mode of Action of Malathion 50% EC

Malathion acts by inhibiting the enzyme acetylcholinesterase in susceptible insects. This disrupts normal nerve impulse transmission, leading to loss of normal movement, paralysis and eventual mortality.

The product works mainly through contact and ingestion, so thorough spray coverage helps improve exposure of target pests to the treatment.
