How It Works: Mode of Action
Phendal Plus uses a "Synergistic" approach, meaning the two chemicals work better together than alone.
- Nervous System Overload: Phenthoate inhibits the pest's enzymes, while Cypermethrin keeps nerve channels open. This causes continuous nerve firing, leading to paralysis and death.
- Resistance Breaking: Because it attacks the pest in two different ways simultaneously, it is highly effective against insects that have become resistant to single chemicals.
- Repellency: The unique smell creates an invisible barrier, discouraging adult moths from entering the field to lay eggs.

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 | 800 ml | 150 - 200 L | 4 - 5 ml | 14 (Approx) |
| Paddy (Rice) | 400 ml | 150 - 200 L | 2 - 2.5 ml | 14 (Approx) |
| Pulses | 320 - 800 ml | 150 - 200 L | 2.5 - 4 ml | 14 - 21 |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting. Always check the leaflet.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply at the egg-laying stage or when you first see moth activity (Pheromone trap alerts) for best results.
- Mixing: Add the required quantity to a small amount of water first, mix well to form a white emulsion, then add to the main tank.
- Coverage: Ensure thorough coverage of foliage. For cotton, high volume (800ml/acre) is needed to penetrate the dense canopy.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Highly Toxic to Fish: Do not use near aquaculture ponds.
