The "One-Shot" Solution for Cotton Bollworms and Sucking Pests.
Ajanta Super by Coromandel International is a powerful, broad-spectrum insecticide designed for Indian farmers. By combining two strong active ingredients, it delivers a double punch: it knocks down pests on contact and penetrates leaves to kill hidden insects. It is the go-to choice for controlling complex pest attacks on Cotton and Vegetables.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Ajanta Super uses a "Synergistic" approach, meaning the two chemicals work better together than they do alone.
- The Hidden Killer (Profenofos): It moves through the leaf tissues to kill chewing and sucking pests hiding underneath leaves.
- The Shock Effect (Cypermethrin): It acts on contact, causing immediate paralysis (knockdown) by disrupting the insect's nerves.
- Resistance Breaker: The Profenofos component disables the pest's defense enzymes, allowing Cypermethrin to kill pests that are resistant to other sprays.

Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cotton | 400 – 600 ml | 150 – 200 L | 2 – 3 ml | 14 Days |
| Vegetables (Tomato, Brinjal) | 300 – 500 ml | 150 L | 2 – 2.5 ml | 7 – 10 Days |
| Soybean / Pulses | 400 ml | 150 L | 2.5 ml | 14+ Days |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply at the "Square Formation" or "Boll Formation" stage when pest activity is first seen. For best results, spray in the early morning or late evening to avoid harming bees.
- Mixing: Compatible with most fungicides. Warning: Do NOT mix with alkaline products like Bordeaux mixture or Lime Sulphur, as this will stop the medicine from working.
- Coverage: Ensure the underside of leaves is wet, as mites and aphids hide there.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does Ajanta Super kill eggs?
Yes, it has strong "ovicidal" action, meaning it kills the eggs of moths and caterpillars on contact.
2. Why did my cotton leaves turn slightly red?
This can happen if you overdose (use more than 600-800ml/acre). Stick to the recommended dose to avoid this stress on the plant.
3. Can I use this for sucking pests like Whitefly?
Yes, it controls the entire complex of pests, including Whitefly, Aphids, Jassids, and Thrips.
4. What if it rains after spraying?
Ajanta Super is rainfast. If it stays on the leaf for 2–4 hours without rain, it will still work effectively.
5. Is it safe for honeybees?
No, it is toxic to bees. Avoid spraying during the middle of the day when bees are active. Spray in the evening.
