Ananda (Anu Products Limited) (Ethion 40% + Cypermethrin 5% EC) is a broad-spectrum insecticide manufactured by Anu Products Limited. It is an emulsifiable concentrate (EC) formulation containing 40% ethion and 5% cypermethrin, two potent insecticides with different modes of action. This combination of insecticides provides broad-spectrum activity against a wide range of sucking and chewing insects.

Mode of Action:

• Ethion: Ethion is an organophosphate insecticide that works by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme essential for nerve transmission in insects. This disruption of nerve function leads to paralysis and death.

• Cypermethrin: Cypermethrin is a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide that works by disrupting sodium channels in insects, causing hyperexcitation and eventually paralysis and death.

Dosage and Application: The recommended dosage of Ananda varies depending on the crop and target pest. For most crops, the recommended dosage is 250-400 ml per hectare. Ananda should be applied as a foliar spray using a conventional sprayer. Make sure to cover all parts of the plant, including the leaves, stems, and bolls, with the spray solution.

Application method: Foliar spray using a conventional sprayer
