How It Works: Mode of Action
Super Fighter is a neurotoxin that attacks the central nervous system of insects. It is a "Type II" pyrethroid, meaning it creates a long-lasting disruption in the pest's nerves.
- Contact & Ingestion: The chemical enters the pest either through direct contact with the spray or when the pest eats a treated leaf.
- Nerve Overload: It binds to sodium channels in the nerve cells, keeping them open and causing a massive flow of energy (repetitive firing).
- Paralysis & Death: This causes tremors and hyperexcitability, leading to immediate paralysis ("knockdown") and death of the insect.
Note: Because it works on the nerves, it kills quickly. It also has a negative temperature coefficient, meaning it works slightly better in cooler temperatures (morning/evening).

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 | 200 - 300 ml | 200 - 300 L | 1.0 - 1.5 ml | 7 - 15 Days |
| Brinjal | 150 - 200 ml | 200 L | 1.0 ml | 3 - 7 Days |
| Okra | 150 - 200 ml | 200 L | 1.0 ml | 3 Days |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Spray during the cooler parts of the day (early morning or late evening) for better results and to protect honeybees.
- Mixing: Compatible with neutral fungicides like Mancozeb. DO NOT mix with alkaline products like Bordeaux mixture or Lime Sulphur.
- Coverage: Super Fighter is a contact poison, so "Coverage is Kill." Use sufficient water to fully wet the foliage.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use to avoid skin irritation (paresthesia).
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does Super Fighter control Pink Bollworm in Cotton?
It is effective, but resistance is common. It works best when used in rotation with other chemistries (like Emamectin Benzoate) rather than as a single solution.
2. Why do I feel a burning or itching sensation after spraying?
This is called "Pyrethroid Paresthesia." It is temporary. Wash the skin with soap and water, and apply oil or a soothing cream. Always wear gloves to prevent this.
3. Is Super Fighter safe for fish and bees?
No. It is highly toxic to fish and bees. Do not wash spray tanks in ponds, and avoid spraying when bees are actively foraging on flowers.
4. Can I mix Super Fighter with tonics or fertilizers?
Yes, it is generally compatible with common neutral liquid fertilizers and tonics like "Goldstim" or "Mycoraja."
5. What is the antidote if swallowed accidentally?
There is no specific antidote. Treatment is symptomatic. Doctors typically use Diazepam to control seizures or convulsions. Immediate medical attention is required.
