Product Overview

Gohan (Nichino Chemical India) PYMETROZINE 50% WDG is an effective and versatile insecticide that provides broad-spectrum control of a wide range of aphids, whiteflies, and leafminers in various crops, including vegetables, fruits, ornamentals, and greenhouse plants. It is known for its unique mode of action, rapid action, long residual activity, and favorable crop safety profile.

Active Ingredient

Gohan's active ingredient is pymetrozine, a pyrimidine insecticide that disrupts the insect's feeding process by inhibiting the action of the enzyme sucrose synthase, a crucial enzyme involved in sugar metabolism. This disruption of sugar metabolism leads to a rapid decrease in energy levels, causing the insect to stop feeding and eventually starve.

Mode of Action

Gohan acts as a contact and systemic insecticide. When applied to plants, pymetrozine is absorbed and translocated throughout the plant tissues, providing protection against insects feeding on various parts of the plant. Insects feeding on treated plants ingest pymetrozine, leading to the inhibition of sucrose synthase and subsequent starvation.

Application Methods

Gohan can be applied using various methods, including:

  • Foliar spraying: This involves spraying the insecticide directly onto the foliage of the plants to control insects feeding on the leaves, stems, and flowers.

  • Soil drenching: This method involves applying the insecticide to the soil around the base of the plant, targeting insects living in the soil or feeding on the roots.

  • Drip irrigation: This method involves applying the insecticide through a drip irrigation system, delivering the insecticide directly to the plant's roots.

Application Rates

The application rate of Gohan varies depending on the target insect species, crop type, and severity of the infestation. Generally, application rates range from 250 to 500 grams of product per hectare (g/ha) for foliar spraying, 500 to 1000 g/ha for soil drenching, and 100 to 200 g/ha for drip irrigation.

Residual Activity

Gohan has a long residual activity, typically lasting for several weeks or months, depending on environmental conditions and the target insect species. This provides effective insect control for an extended period, reducing the need for multiple insecticide applications.

Crop Safety

Gohan is considered safe for use on a wide range of crops, including vegetables, fruits, ornamentals, and greenhouse plants. It is particularly beneficial for crops that require the presence of pollinators, as it has a low impact on beneficial insect populations.

Environmental Considerations

Gohan is considered to have a relatively low environmental impact compared to other insecticides. Pymetrozine has low mobility in soil, reducing the risk of leaching into groundwater. Additionally, pymetrozine is moderately persistent in the environment, breaking down over time into non-toxic compounds.

Safety Precautions

Gohan is a moderately toxic insecticide, and it is crucial to follow all safety precautions when handling and applying the product. Personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, goggles, and a respirator, should be worn when mixing, loading, and applying the insecticide. Avoid contact with skin and eyes, and wash thoroughly after handling.

Storage and Disposal

Store Gohan in a cool, dry place, out of reach of children and pets. Dispose of unused insecticide and empty containers according to local regulations.
