• Zero Residue: Leaves no harmful residues on crops, making it highly suitable for organic farming and Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs.

 Precautions:

• Safety: Though it is organic, it is best practice to wear basic protective gear (like a mask and gloves) when mixing and spraying.
• Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI): The wait time between spraying and harvesting is typically 3 days.
