How It Works: Mode of Action
Rogohit uses a "Double Attack" method to eliminate pests.
- Contact & Stomach Action: When sprayed, it immediately penetrates the insect's outer skin or is eaten, causing instant poisoning.
- Systemic Action: The plant absorbs the chemical through leaves and roots. It travels to the stem and new leaves, turning the plant sap toxic to bugs that suck it.
- Nervous System Attack: It acts as an AChE inhibitor, which paralyzes the insect's nervous system, leading to rapid pest death.
Note: This makes it great for "cryptic" pests hiding under curled leaves.

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 | 264 - 300 ml | 200 - 300 L | ~ 1.5 - 2.0 ml | 21 |
| Maize | 264 - 400 ml | 200 - 400 L | ~ 2.0 ml | 14+ |
| Chilli / Mustard | 264 - 396 ml | 200 - 400 L | ~ 2.0 ml | 14 - 21 |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting. Essential for export compliance.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply at the early stage of pest infestation. For Cotton, use from vegetative stage to boll formation.
- Mixing: Do NOT mix with alkaline products like Bordeaux Mixture or Lime Sulphur, as this destroys the medicine immediately.
- Coverage: Ensure thorough coverage. For Maize stem borers, direct the nozzle into the leaf whorls.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Avoid spraying during bee foraging times (flowering).
