FAQ
What is Proteger?
Proteger is a broad-spectrum botanical insecticide developed for the control of sucking pests such as aphids, whiteflies, jassids, hoppers, and bugs.
What pests does Proteger control?
Proteger is recommended for sucking insects including aphids, whiteflies, jassids, hoppers, bugs, and similar soft-bodied pests. It can also support crop protection programs where pest-related biotic stress is a concern.
What is the composition of Proteger?
Proteger contains cinnamon oil, polyoxyethylene castor oil, and vegetable oil.
What is the formulation type of Proteger?
Proteger is an EC formulation, meaning Emulsifiable Concentrate. It is mixed with water before spraying.
How does Proteger work?
Proteger works by disrupting pest activity through feeding inhibition and effects on pest development and reproduction. It helps reduce feeding, fecundity, and breeding ability of existing pest populations.
What is the recommended dosage of Proteger?
The recommended dosage is 2 ml per litre of water. Repeat the spray every 12–15 days, depending on pest pressure and crop condition.
How should Proteger be applied?
Apply Proteger as a foliar spray. Mix the required quantity in water, ensure proper agitation, and spray uniformly over the crop canopy for good leaf coverage.
When should Proteger be applied?
Proteger can be applied preventively when climatic conditions favour pest development, or before pest populations increase beyond the economic threshold level.
Can Proteger be used on vegetables and fruits?
Yes. Proteger is suitable for vegetables, fruits, flowers, cereals, pulses, legumes, oilseeds, fodder crops, fibre crops, greenhouse crops, and indoor plants.
Is Proteger suitable for IPM programs?
Yes. Proteger can be integrated into IPM programs as a botanical insect-control option, especially where growers want to reduce reliance on conventional synthetic insecticides.
Is Proteger residue-free?
The product information states that Proteger is free from toxic and solvent residue. This supports its positioning as a cleaner botanical crop protection formulation.
Does Proteger help with insecticide resistance?
Proteger can support resistance-management strategies when used in rotation with other compatible pest-control tools. Its botanical active profile and multi-action pest effects make it useful as part of an integrated spray program.
How should Proteger be stored?
Store Proteger in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, food, feed, and children. Keep the container tightly closed when not in use.
What is the shelf life of Proteger?
Proteger has a shelf life of 24 months from the manufacturing date when stored under recommended conditions.
Key Benefits
Broad-Spectrum Botanical Insect Control
Proteger is a fast-acting botanical insecticide designed to help manage common sucking pests such as aphids, whiteflies, jassids, hoppers, bugs, and other soft-bodied insects.
Fast Feeding Inhibition
When applied at the right crop stage, Proteger helps reduce pest feeding activity quickly, limiting further crop damage and helping protect plant vigour.
Supports Pest Population Management
Proteger helps reduce pest fecundity and breeding ability, supporting better control of existing pest populations and helping slow the buildup of infestation pressure.
Botanical Active Ingredient
Proteger is based on plant-derived cinnamon oil, supported by vegetable oil and an emulsifying agent for effective spray application and leaf coverage.
Free from Toxic and Solvent Residue
Proteger is formulated without toxic or solvent residue, making it suitable for growers looking for cleaner crop protection options within integrated pest management programs.
Useful for Preventive and Curative Sprays
Proteger can be used as a prophylactic spray when weather conditions favour pest incidence, or before pest populations cross the economic threshold level.
Helps in Resistance Management
Because Proteger is based on botanical active chemistry and has multi-action pest effects, it can be used as part of a rotation strategy to help reduce overdependence on conventional synthetic insecticides.
Suitable for a Wide Crop Range
Proteger can be used across cereals, pulses, legumes, oilseeds, fruits, vegetables, fodder crops, fibre crops, flowers, greenhouse crops, and indoor plants.
