Chess is a broad-spectrum insecticide that is used to control a wide range of insect pests on a variety of crops, including rice, corn, soybeans, and vegetables. It contains the active ingredient pymetrozine, which is a systemic insecticide. This means that it is absorbed by the plant and transported throughout the plant's tissues, where it kills the insect when it feeds on the plant.

It is important to note that the specific dose of Chess insecticide that is needed will vary depending on the type of insect pest that is being controlled, the severity of the infestation, and the environmental conditions. It is always best to consult with your local agricultural extension agent or a certified crop advisor to determine the correct dose of Chess insecticide to use.

Here are some additional tips for using Chess insecticide:

  • Apply Chess insecticide when the insect pests are actively growing.
  • Use a higher dose of Chess insecticide for more severe infestations.
  • Add a surfactant to the spray tank to improve the coverage and effectiveness of Chess insecticide.
  • Avoid applying Chess insecticide when the weather is hot or windy.
  • Follow all label directions carefully when using Chess insecticide.

Safety precautions:

Chess insecticide is a moderately toxic insecticide and should be handled with care. It is important to wear protective clothing, such as gloves, goggles, and a long-sleeved shirt, when applying Chess insecticide. Avoid contact with the skin and eyes.

If you have any questions or concerns about using Chess insecticide, please consult your local agricultural extension agent or a certified crop advisor.
