PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
PI ROKET is a high-performance, broad-spectrum combination insecticide containing Profenofos (40%) and Cypermethrin (4%) EC. Designed for powerful pest control, ROKET combines quick contact knockdown with deep stomach action and translaminar leaf penetration. It effectively controls complex, hard-to-manage pests like bollworms, caterpillars, and sucking insects across field and horticultural crops.
KEY FEATURES & BENEFITS
- Instant Knockdown Action: Cypermethrin rapidly disrupts the pest’s nervous system, halting feeding and crop damage within minutes.
- Ovicidal & Translaminar Power: Profenofos destroys insect eggs before hatching and penetrates leaf tissues to kill hidden pests feeding underneath.
- Synergistic Anti-Resistance: Profenofos inhibits enzymes that pests use to break down Cypermethrin, ensuring superior control over resistant pest strains.
- Broad-Spectrum Versatility: Eliminates both chewing caterpillars and sap-sucking pests simultaneously in a single application.
- Rainfast Performance: The EC formulation adheres firmly to plant foliage and resists rain wash-off within 2 to 4 hours of application.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
- Wear full protective equipment (gloves, face mask, goggles, apron, and boots) while handling and mixing the liquid.
- Do not spray against wind direction or during extreme heat; prevent drift toward nearby water bodies or non-target crops.
- Highly toxic to fish, aquatic life, and beneficial pollinators; avoid spraying during active bee foraging hours.
- Store under lock and key in original tightly closed containers, strictly separated from food, animal feed, and children.
- Wash thoroughly after use.
