Protap 500WP

Protap 500WP is a specialized insecticide designed to manage a variety of pests in crops like black beans and pigeon peas. It combines two active ingredients: Monosultap (400 g/kg) and Buprofezin (100 g/kg), each contributing uniquely to its effectiveness.

Active Ingredients:

• Monosultap (400 g/kg): A derivative of thiocyclam, Monosultap provides a rapid knockdown effect on target pests.
• Buprofezin (100 g/kg): An insect growth regulator that inhibits chitin synthesis, disrupting the molting process and preventing pests from reaching maturity.

Target Pests:

• Mealybugs
• Thrips
• Aphids
• Whiteflies

Application Instructions:

• Dosage: Dilute 40 grams of Protap 500WP in 20 liters of water. This rate translates to 2 kilograms per hectare when using 1,000 liters of water.
• Mixing: Add the specified amount of Protap 500WP to the water and stir until fully dissolved, ensuring a uniform solution.
• Application: Apply the solution as a foliar spray, thoroughly covering all plant surfaces, especially the undersides of leaves where pests often reside.
• Timing: For optimal results, initiate application at the first sign of pest infestation. Monitor pest populations and reapply as necessary, adhering to recommended intervals to prevent resistance development.

Safety and Handling:

• Protective Equipment: Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, long-sleeved clothing, and eye protection, during mixing and application to prevent skin and eye contact.
• Storage: Store Protap 500WP in its original container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep out of reach of children and animals.
• Disposal: Dispose of empty containers and any leftover product in accordance with local regulations. Do not contaminate water sources or the environment during disposal.

Precautions:

• Environmental Impact: Avoid application during windy conditions to prevent drift to non-target areas. Be mindful of nearby water bodies, as the product may be harmful to aquatic organisms.
• Re-Entry Interval: Do not enter treated areas until the spray has dried completely. If entry is necessary before this time, appropriate PPE should be worn.
• Resistance Management: To delay the development of resistance, rotate Protap 500WP with insecticides from different chemical classes. Avoid consecutive applications of products containing the same active ingredients.

Packaging Options:

• 100 grams
• 400 grams
• 1 kilogram
• 2 kilograms
