Tafgor (Rallis India Limited) is a broad-spectrum insecticide and acaricide that contains 22.9% EC of the active ingredient Emamectin benzoate. Emamectin benzoate is an avermectin insecticide that works by disrupting the nervous system of insects. It binds to the glutamate-gated chloride channels in the insect's nervous system, which leads to paralysis and death.

Tafgor is effective against a wide range of pests, including sucking pests such as aphids, whiteflies, and thrips, as well as chewing pests such as caterpillars and beetles. It is also effective against mites and ticks. Tafgor has a contact and stomach action, which means that it kills insects when they come into contact with it or when they ingest it. It also has a residual activity of up to 14 days, which means that it remains active on the plant surface for a period of time after application. This makes it an ideal choice for controlling pests in a wide range of crops, including paddy, cotton, vegetables, and fruits.

Overall, Tafgor is a safe and effective insecticide and acaricide that offers effective control of a wide range of pests in a wide range of crops.

Dose on rice and cotton

The recommended dose of Tafgor on rice and cotton is 1.0-1.5 ml per liter of water. This translates to a dose of 200-250 ml per hectare. However, the actual dose may vary depending on the severity of the pest infestation and the local conditions. It is always best to consult with a local agricultural expert to get the best advice on how to use Tafgor on your rice and cotton crops.

Here are some additional tips for using Tafgor on rice and cotton:

  • Apply Tafgor as a foliar spray using a knapsack sprayer or a boom sprayer.
  • Apply Tafgor early in the morning or late in the evening to avoid evaporation losses.
  • Make sure that the rice and cotton crops are well-watered before and after application of Tafgor.
  • Avoid applying Tafgor when the wind is blowing, as this may lead to drift and damage to non-target crops.
  • Use Tafgor in rotation with other insecticides and acaricides to prevent the development of resistance in pest populations.
  • Avoid applying Tafgor to flowering plants, as it may be harmful to bees and other beneficial insects.
