Method of Application

  • It can be applied by both high volume and low volume spray equipment.
  • Water dilution depends on the type of sprayer to be used, crop stage and intensity of pest infestation.
  • It is desirable to calibrate beforehand to estimate the quantity of water needed for preparation of solution.
  • Prepare homogeneous solution by agitating with stick. Always spray in the direction of wind and apply uniformly with complete coverage.
  • Interval between two sprays should be 10 to 15 days. No undesirable residues are noticed in different plant parts if used as directed.

Antidote

  • Administer Atropine Sulphate intravenously 2 – 4 mg at 5 – 10-minute intervals until the symptoms of poisoning disappear.
  • 2-PAM can be given in severe cases intravenously very slowly (1 – 2 g taking 5 – 10 minutes).
 Precautions

  • Do not spray against the wind direction.
  • Always wear protective clothing while handling.
  • Do not smoke, eat or drink during application.
  • Wash hands and body thoroughly after spraying.
Mode of Action

CARINA with its unique mode of action has superior advantages over several other products. As a member of the organophosphate family of insecticides, CARINA works by potent inhibition of the enzyme acetyl cholinesterase, which is essential for the transmission of impulses between nerve cells. After feeding on a CARINA-treated plant or crawling over a treated leaf, the pest is first paralyzed and then quickly dies.
