FAQ
What is Thripcare?
Thripcare is a foliar insect-control product designed for the management of thrips, BPH, and leafminers in greenhouse, ornamental, indoor, and selected crop-production systems.
Which pests does Thripcare control?
Thripcare is recommended for the control of thrips, BPH, and leafminers. It is especially useful against pests that feed on leaves and are difficult to reach with ordinary contact sprays.
How does Thripcare work?
Thripcare works through a unique mode of action that interferes with lipid synthesis. It affects pests mainly through ingestion and also provides contact activity.
Does Thripcare move inside the plant?
Yes. Thripcare has systemic and translaminar movement. It is absorbed into foliage and moves through leaf tissues, helping control hidden insects on protected leaf surfaces.
What does translaminar activity mean?
Translaminar activity means the product can move from one side of the leaf to the other after application. This helps improve control of pests hiding on the underside of leaves.
Is Thripcare useful for hidden insects?
Yes. Because Thripcare has translaminar movement and some contact activity, it helps control insects that are hidden within the crop canopy or on the underside of leaves.
What is the recommended dosage of Thripcare?
The recommended dose is 1.25 ml per litre of water.
How often should Thripcare be sprayed?
Repeat the spray every 12–15 days, depending on pest pressure, crop stage, and local agronomic guidance.
How should Thripcare be applied?
Apply Thripcare as a foliar spray. Mix the required quantity in water and spray uniformly over the crop canopy, ensuring good coverage of both upper and lower leaf surfaces.
Can Thripcare be used in greenhouses?
Yes. Thripcare is useful for greenhouse crops, including flowers, foliage crops, ground covers, shrubs, ornamental trees, and indoor-grown plants.
Can Thripcare be used on ornamental plants?
Yes. Thripcare is suitable for ornamental plants, non-fruit-bearing plants, shrubs, foliage crops, and ornamental trees.
Is Thripcare suitable for resistance management?
Yes. Thripcare can be used as part of a resistance-management program because of its unique mode of action. It should be rotated with compatible insect-control products from different modes of action.
When is the best time to apply Thripcare?
Apply Thripcare at the early stage of pest incidence or when monitoring shows increasing thrips or leafminer activity. Early application gives better control and helps reduce population buildup.
Can Thripcare protect plant quality?
Yes. By helping control thrips and leafminers, Thripcare supports cleaner foliage, better flower quality, reduced feeding damage, and improved plant appearance.
How should Thripcare be stored?
Store Thripcare in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, food, feed, and children. Keep the container tightly closed when not in use.
Key Benefits
What is TH-Derma?
Th-Derma is a biological fungicide based on Trichoderma harzianum. It is used to help manage fungal diseases affecting the root zone, seedlings, and crop establishment.
Which diseases does Th-Derma help control?
Th-Derma helps manage fungal diseases such as damping-off, root rot, collar rot, wilt, fruit rot, and other pathogenic fungal infections affecting agricultural and horticultural crops.
What is the active organism in Th-Derma?
The active organism in Th-Derma is Trichoderma harzianum, a beneficial fungus widely used in biological crop protection and root-zone management.
How does Th-Derma work?
Th-Derma works through several biological mechanisms. Trichoderma harzianum competes with pathogens in the rhizosphere, produces natural antimicrobial compounds, and secretes enzymes such as chitinase, glucanase, and pectinase that help suppress harmful fungi.
Can Th-Derma help against nematodes?
Yes. Th-Derma can support nematode management programs and is indicated for nematodes such as root-knot nematodes and reniform nematodes.
Which crops can Th-Derma be used on?
Th-Derma can be used on a wide range of crops, including banana, cotton, cabbage, chillies, marigold, paddy, cauliflower, citrus, grapes, ginger, groundnut, ornamentals, pepper, pomegranate, tea, tomato, turmeric, jowar, okra, sunflower, pulses, and wheat.
How should Th-Derma be applied as a foliar spray?
For foliar application, mix 10 g of Th-Derma powder in sufficient water and spray uniformly over the crop canopy. The total spray volume should be adjusted according to crop type and canopy size.
How should Th-Derma be applied to soil?
For soil application, mix Th-Derma with organic fertilizer and apply it to the root zone. The current product page recommends mixing 50 kg of Th-Derma powder with organic fertilizer for application over 1 acre of land.
How is Th-Derma used for nursery root dipping?
For nursery root dipping, mix 10 g of Th-Derma with 1 litre of water and dip plant roots before transplanting. The current page recommends overnight dipping for nursery application.
When should Th-Derma be applied?
Th-Derma is best applied preventively, especially during nursery, transplanting, early root establishment, and periods when soil-borne disease pressure is expected. It can also be used as part of a regular biological disease-management program.
Can Th-Derma be used with organic fertilizer?
Yes. Th-Derma is suitable for soil application with organic fertilizer, which helps distribute the beneficial fungus around the root zone and supports microbial establishment.
Is Th-Derma only for soil application?
No. Th-Derma can be used as a foliar spray, soil application, or root-dip treatment depending on the crop stage and disease-management objective.
Is Th-Derma suitable for nurseries?
Yes. Th-Derma is suitable for nursery use, especially for root dipping and early-stage protection against damping-off and root-zone diseases.
How should Th-Derma be stored?
Store Th-Derma in a cool, dry place at room temperature. Keep the pouch sealed when not in use and protect it from moisture, direct sunlight, and high heat.
Can Th-Derma replace all fungicides?
Th-Derma is best used as part of an integrated disease-management program. It can reduce dependence on conventional chemical fungicides, but disease-control strategy should be adjusted based on crop, disease pressure, weather conditions, and local agronomic guidance.
Dosage & Application
Foliar: Use 250–300 ml/ acre; apply as foliar application at vegetative and flowering stage.
Add to mixing tank with half of the amount of water you wish to apply. Allow the solution to completely mix then add the remaining water to the tank.
Recommended dosage is for guideline purpose only. More effective application rates may exist depending on specific circumstances.
