— Crop Programme
Cotton is a long crop with narrow decision windows. The whitefly complex, bollworm, and early weed competition each have a defined stage where the right product, at the right dose, protects the boll load. Our cotton programme starts at seed treatment and runs through square formation to boll development.
A season-long crop deserves a season-long plan.
9 Products in the programme
— What Decides the Season
— The Schedule
A season plan written around growth stages, not the calendar. Doses are label rates — confirm against the product label before each spray.
Day 0
Treated seed and a pre-emergence weed layer give the stand a clean start.
20–50 days
Post-emergence grass control and sucking pest management on threshold.
50–80 days
Square retention with boron; begin bollworm scouting at flowering.
80–120 days
Whitefly complex management with underside coverage; protect the boll load.
120 days onwards
Taper sprays; observe waiting periods before picking. Keep records for next season's plan.
Use agrochemicals responsibly. Read the label before use.
— The Programme
Products registered or recommended for cotton, each with its dose per acre, timing, and precautions on the product page.
Imidacloprid 17.8% SL
A single unchecked jassid flare-up in cotton can cost more per acre than a full season of planned sprays. Verta protects the schedule at roughly the cost of a day's labour per acre.
Chlorantraniliprole 18.5% SC
One borer-damaged picking in chilli drops the lot a full grade. At 60 ml per acre, Coreon costs a fraction of the grade it protects.
Quizalofop-ethyl 5% EC
The first 45 days of weed competition in cotton cost more yield than most pests. One timed application per acre protects the stand at the stage that decides the boll load.
Pendimethalin 38.7% CS
Compare one planned pre-emergence application against two rounds of hand weeding per acre — the arithmetic settles itself before the crop is a month old.
Triacontanol 0.1% EW
A stronger canopy at squaring is what carries bolls to the finish. Trion is a scheduled investment in the frame of the crop, not a rescue spray.
Chelated Micronutrient Mixture (EDTA) — Fe, Zn, Mn, Cu, B, Mo
Micronutrient deficiency does not announce itself — it just grades your produce down. At 100 g per acre, Chelamix costs less than the difference between two market grades on a single quintal.
Boron 20% (Disodium octaborate tetrahydrate)
A cracked pomegranate is not a discount — it is a reject. Boran, applied on schedule, protects the whole-fruit percentage that the premium grade is paid on.
Thiamethoxam 30% FS
The cheapest spray is the one the seedling never needs. Prime protects the stand from day one for less per acre than a single foliar application.
Pyriproxyfen 5% + Fenpropathrin 15% EC
An improvised whitefly tank mix is a guess at both doses. Duon fixes the ratio, the dose, and the result — priced against the cotton it keeps clean, not against the two bottles it replaces.
