How It Works: Mode of Action
Zingala operates differently from older neurotoxins. It targets the insect's "sense of balance" (Chordotonal Organs) located in their joints.
[Image of pyrifiuquinazon mode of action diagram]- Confusion & Disorientation: Upon contact, Zingala tricks the insect's nervous system (TRPV channels), causing them to lose coordination.
- Immediate Feeding Stop: The insect loses the ability to insert its mouthpart (stylet) into the plant. This instantly stops the transmission of viruses.
- Starvation & Death: Unable to eat or move properly, the pest dies from starvation and energy loss within 1 to 3 days.
Note: Because it stops feeding first, you save the crop immediately, even if the insect takes a day or two to physically drop off.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Cotton | Whitefly (Nymphs & Adults), Aphids, Thrips, Jassids |
| Chilli | Whitefly (Virus Vector), Thrips, Mites, Aphids |
| Vegetables (Brinjal, Okra, Tomato) | Whitefly, Aphids, Jassids |
Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results. Using less water reduces efficacy against hidden pests.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (g / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (g / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cotton | 200 g | 200 L | 1 g / L | 30 |
| Chilli | 200 g | 200 L | 1 g / L | 5 - 7 |
| Other Veg (Okra/Brinjal) | 200 g | 200 L | 1 g / L | 3 - 7 |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting. *Note: Formulation is Granule (g), not Liquid (ml).
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply at the Economic Threshold Level (ETL), which is roughly 5–10 whiteflies per leaf. Do not wait for "Sooty Mold" (black powder) to appear.
- Mixing: Ensure spray water pH is between 5.0 and 7.0. If water is alkaline (hard water), use a pH buffer.
- Coverage: Use a Hollow Cone nozzle. Focus on spraying the underside of leaves where whiteflies live.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Avoid spraying during peak bee activity (spray in the late evening).
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does Zingala kill whiteflies resistant to Imidacloprid and Acetamiprid?
Yes. Zingala has a unique mode of action (Group 9B) and shows no cross-resistance to older Neonicotinoids, making it perfect for resistant pests.
2. Can I mix Zingala with fungicides?
Yes, Zingala is generally compatible with most common fungicides and insecticides. However, always perform a small "jar test" before mixing a full tank.
3. How long does the protection last?
Zingala provides extended residual control for 14 to 21 days, giving you a longer break between sprays compared to generic chemicals.
4. Will it cure the Leaf Curl Virus in Chilli?
No insecticide acts as a cure for a virus already in the plant. However, Zingala stops the whitefly vector from feeding immediately, preventing the spread of the virus to healthy plants.
5. What is the pack size for one acre?
The standard recommendation is the 200g pack for one acre of Cotton or Chilli, mixed with 200 Litres of water.
