| (F) USES : |
| Fenvalerate is one of the most versatile synthetic pyrethroid insecticides and it acts as a
highly active contact and stomach poison against a broadspectrum of pests, including strains
resistant to organochlorine, organophosphorus and carbamate insecticide. It gives control of
leaf and fruit eating insects, such as bollworm, fruit & shoot borers aphids, jassids etc. on a
range of crops, including cotton, cauli-flower, brinjal, okara, vines and fruits ; 25-250 g a.i per
hectare. Its stability in sunlight and resistance to rain wash - off insures good residual
activity on treated plants.It is also used in public health and animal husbandary; 100mg/m-2 wall can provide60-d residual control of files in animal housing. |
| (G) ANTIDOTE STATEMENT : |
| 1. First Aid : If skin contaminated wash with soap and plenty of water. If eyes are contaminated flush with clean water call a physician. |
| 2. Medical Treatment : If ingested, gastric lavage with warm water may be given with care to prevent aspiration. Treat symptomatically. |
