General Information

Drona is a broad-spectrum insecticide manufactured by UPL Limited in India. It is a suspension concentrate (SC) formulation containing the active ingredient lambda-cyhalothrin 5% SC. Drona is effective against a wide range of pests, including lepidopteran pests such as bollworms, fruit borers, and leaf caterpillars, as well as sucking pests such as aphids, whiteflies, and jassids.

Mode of Action

Lambda-cyhalothrin is a pyrethroid insecticide that works by disrupting the insect's nervous system. It causes the insect's sodium channels to stay open, which leads to paralysis and death.

Application

Drona can be applied to crops using a variety of application methods, including foliar spraying, soil application, and seed treatment. The recommended dose varies depending on the target pest and the crop being treated.

Precautions

Drona is a moderately toxic insecticide. It is important to follow all safety precautions when handling and applying this product. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, long sleeves, pants, and a respirator. Do not apply Drona to crops in bloom, as this can harm bees and other beneficial insects.
