Indiagro Mi Citra 250ml

ndiagro Mi Citra is an innovative organic solution specifically designed to combat Brown Plant Hopper (BPH) infestations in rice crops. It harnesses the power of natural ingredients, including Neem oil, Fish oil, Karanj oil, and Cinnamon oil, to effectively target and eliminate BPH. Certified for organic use, Mi Citra not only protects crops but also revitalizes soil health by preserving beneficial soil organisms and preventing pest resistance, ensuring consistent results with repeated applications.

Expert Advice and Tips:

Application Timing:

Apply Mi Citra at the early stages of BPH infestation for maximum effectiveness. Regular monitoring of the crop is recommended to identify early signs of BPH presence.

Dosage:

Follow the recommended dosage instructions for optimal results. Typically, organic solutions like Mi Citra may require specific dilution ratios.

Application Method:

Use appropriate spraying equipment to ensure even distribution of the solution across the crop. Avoid applying during the hottest part of the day to reduce evaporation and enhance absorption.

Storage:

Store Mi Citra in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its efficacy.

Pre-Season Preparation:

Soil Health Check: Before the planting season, test your soil to ensure it is in good condition and free from any previous season’s pests.

Seasonal Recommendation:

Planting Season (Early Spring):

Initial Application:

As soon as rice seedlings are transplanted, apply Mi Citra to provide an early defense against BPH. This helps in establishing a pest-free environment for young plants.

Regular Monitoring:

Begin regular scouting for BPH signs. Early detection is crucial for timely intervention.

Growing Season (Late Spring to Early Summer):

Second Application:

If BPH presence is detected, apply a second round of Mi Citra. This reinforces the protection and helps in controlling any emerging BPH populations.

Integrated Practices:

Combine Mi Citra application with other organic or biological controls for enhanced pest management. This can include introducing natural predators of BPH or using trap crops.

Peak Season (Mid to Late Summer):

Peak Infestation Monitoring:

BPH populations typically peak during the mid to late summer. Intensify monitoring efforts during this period.

Additional Applications:

Depending on the severity of the infestation, additional applications of Mi Citra may be required. Follow the recommended intervals between applications to avoid overuse.

Late Season (Early Fall):

Final Application:

Apply a final round of Mi Citra to ensure the crop remains BPH-free as it approaches maturity. This helps in maintaining grain quality and yield.

Post-Harvest Care:

After harvest, conduct a thorough cleanup of the field to remove any plant residues that could harbor pests. Proper field sanitation reduces the risk of BPH carryover to the next season.

Off-Season (Winter):

Soil Rest:

Allow the soil to rest and rejuvenate. Consider planting cover crops to improve soil health and organic matter content.

Review and Plan:

Evaluate the effectiveness of Mi Citra applications and plan for the next season. Adjust application schedules and integration strategies based on observations and results.

Safety Guidelines:

• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Wear protective clothing, gloves, and eyewear while handling and applying Mi Citra to avoid direct contact with the skin and eyes.
• Safe Handling:Avoid inhaling the spray mist and ensure good ventilation during application. Wash hands thoroughly after use.
• Environmental Precautions: Prevent runoff into water bodies to protect aquatic life. Dispose of empty containers and unused product according to local regulations.

Product Efficacy Studies:

• Field Trials:Numerous field trials have demonstrated the efficacy of Mi Citra in controlling BPH populations in rice fields. These studies show a significant reduction in BPH numbers and associated crop damage.
• Soil Health:Research indicates that Mi Citra helps in maintaining soil health by not disrupting beneficial soil organisms. This contributes to overall soil fertility and crop productivity.
• Resistance Management: Studies confirm that Mi Citra does not contribute to pest resistance, making it suitable for long-term use in pest management programs.
