What is this Citigen insecticide used for?

The product is a broad-spectrum insecticide used to control a wide range of sucking and chewing pests, including aphids, jassids, whiteflies, thrips, mites, bollworms, and caterpillars. It is suitable for cotton, vegetables, pulses, fruits, and plantation crops where pest pressure regularly affects crop yield and produce quality.

How fast does it kill pests after spraying?

Active pests usually start showing reduced feeding within a few hours of application, with visible mortality occurring within 1 to 3 days. The protective effect on the foliage then continues for the next 10 to 14 days, helping prevent fresh infestations during that window.

What is the recommended dose per litre of water?

The general dose is around 1.0 to 1.25 ml per litre of water for most field and vegetable crops, going up to 1.5 ml/L for grapes and heavy pest pressure conditions. Refer to the crop-wise dosage table for exact per-acre rates and spray volumes.

How many sprays are needed per crop cycle?

Generally, 2 to 3 sprays per crop cycle at 10 to 14-day intervals are sufficient, depending on pest pressure, weather, and crop stage. For best resistance management, rotate the product with insecticides from a different chemical group rather than repeating the same molecule continuously.

Is the Citigen insecticide safe for honeybees and beneficial insects?

The product should be avoided during peak flowering hours when bees are most active. Spray in the early morning or late evening, when bee activity is low, to reduce any impact on pollinators and other beneficial insects while keeping the target pest population under control.

What is the Citigen insecticide dose per acre?

The recommended Citigen insecticide dose is around 30 to 60 ml per acre, mixed in about 200 litres of water for uniform foliar spray. This works out to roughly 0.15 to 0.30 ml per litre of water, depending on crop, pest pressure, and label instructions.

What are the main Citigen insecticide uses in different crops?

Citigen insecticide uses include control of stem borer and leaf folder in paddy, top and internode borers in sugarcane, fruit borers in tomato, chilli, and brinjal, diamondback moth in cabbage and cauliflower, pod borers in pigeon pea, and bollworms in cotton.

Which pests are controlled by Best Agrolife Citigen insecticide?

Best Agrolife Citigen controls a wide range of caterpillar and borer pests, including stem borers, leaf folders, fruit borers, pod borers, diamondback moth, tobacco caterpillar, bollworms, and armyworms. Its diamide action targets larval stages effectively across many field and vegetable crops.

Is Citigen a systemic insecticide?

Yes, Citigen is a systemic and translaminar insecticide. After spraying, its active ingredient is absorbed by leaves and moves within plant tissues, protecting new growth and reaching caterpillars feeding inside stems, fruits, and folded leaves, giving strong long-lasting internal pest control.

Is Citigen effective against stem borer and leaf folder in paddy?

Yes, Citigen is highly effective against stem borer and leaf folder in paddy. Its systemic diamide action reaches caterpillars inside stems and folded leaves, reducing dead hearts, white ear heads, and leaf folding symptoms, protecting tillers and grain yield during critical crop stages.

Is Citigen useful against fruit borer in tomato, chilli, and brinjal?

Yes, Citigen is very effective against fruit borer in tomato, chilli, brinjal, and other vegetable crops. Its systemic action reaches larvae feeding inside fruits, giving strong knockdown, reducing fruit damage, and supporting better marketable yield with clean, healthy produce during peak fruiting stage.

How to apply Best Agrolife Citigen insecticide correctly?

Mix the recommended dose of Citigen in a small amount of water first, then add to the spray tank filled with about 200 litres of water per acre. Spray uniformly using a knapsack, battery, or motorized sprayer, ensuring good coverage on both upper and lower leaf surfaces.

When is the best time to spray Bayer Citigen insecticide?

The best time to spray Citigen is at the first appearance of egg laying, fresh caterpillar damage, or as a preventive spray at early crop growth stages. Apply during cool morning or evening hours and ensure uniform coverage for effective long-lasting pest control.

How long does Citigen protect the crop after spraying?

Citigen provides long-lasting protection of about 15 to 25 days after spraying, depending on crop, pest pressure, and weather conditions. Its systemic diamide action delivers steady internal protection, reducing repeat sprays and giving strong sustained control of major caterpillar and borer pests.

How to Use Citigen Insecticide:

Shake the product bottle well before opening to ensure a uniform mix.
Measure the required quantity of Citigen Insecticide as per the crop-wise dosage table.
Fill the spray tank with about 70% of the required clean water.
Slowly add the measured product into the tank while stirring continuously.
Top up with the remaining water and mix thoroughly until a uniform spray solution is formed.
Spray evenly on both upper and lower leaf surfaces, covering hidden areas where pests usually settle.
Re-apply at 10 to 14-day intervals if pest pressure continues or fresh infestation appears.

Best Time to Apply:

Spray Citigen Insecticide at the early-infestation stage, when only a few pests are visible per plant — early action prevents rapid multiplication and major crop damage. For pests like whitefly, mites, and thrips, also schedule a preventive spray during warm, dry spells when activity peaks. Apply in low-wind conditions for proper leaf coverage and to reduce drift.

Frequency of Application and Re-entry Period:

Frequency of Application: Apply Citigen Insecticide 2 to 3 times per crop cycle at 10 to 14-day intervals, depending on pest pressure and crop growth stage.
Re-Entry Period: Do not enter treated fields for at least 12 to 24 hours after application without proper protective clothing.
Compatibility: The product is compatible with most commonly used fungicides, insecticides, and water-soluble fertilizers. Avoid mixing with strongly alkaline products like Bordeaux mixture, and always perform a small jar test before any tank-mix.

Safety, Precautions and Handling:

Wear hand gloves, a face mask, full-sleeve clothing, and protective eyewear while handling Citigen Insecticide.
Refrain from eating, drinking, smoking, or chewing anything during the preparation and application of the product.
Avoid direct skin, eye, or mouth contact with the concentrate or its spray solution.
After completing the spray, wash hands, face, and exposed body parts thoroughly with soap and clean water.
Always spray downwind so the mist drifts away from the operator; never spray against the wind direction.
Keep children, pets, livestock, and unprotected persons away from the field during and immediately after spraying.
In case of accidental ingestion or contact, rinse with plenty of water and consult a doctor with the product label.
