How to Use Citigen Insecticide:
Shake the product bottle well before opening to ensure a uniform mix.

Measure the required quantity of Citigen Insecticide as per the crop-wise dosage table.

Fill the spray tank with about 70% of the required clean water.

Slowly add the measured product into the tank while stirring continuously.

Top up with the remaining water and mix thoroughly until a uniform spray solution is formed.

Spray evenly on both upper and lower leaf surfaces, covering hidden areas where pests usually settle.

Re-apply at 10 to 14-day intervals if pest pressure continues or fresh infestation appears.

Best Time to Apply:
Spray Citigen Insecticide at the early-infestation stage, when only a few pests are visible per plant — early action prevents rapid multiplication and major crop damage. For pests like whitefly, mites, and thrips, also schedule a preventive spray during warm, dry spells when activity peaks. Apply in low-wind conditions for proper leaf coverage and to reduce drift.

Frequency of Application and Re-entry Period:
Frequency of Application: Apply Citigen Insecticide 2 to 3 times per crop cycle at 10 to 14-day intervals, depending on pest pressure and crop growth stage.

Re-Entry Period: Do not enter treated fields for at least 12 to 24 hours after application without proper protective clothing.

Compatibility: The product is compatible with most commonly used fungicides, insecticides, and water-soluble fertilizers. Avoid mixing with strongly alkaline products like Bordeaux mixture, and always perform a small jar test before any tank-mix.

Safety, Precautions and Handling:
Wear hand gloves, a face mask, full-sleeve clothing, and protective eyewear while handling Citigen Insecticide.

Refrain from eating, drinking, smoking, or chewing anything during the preparation and application of the product.

Avoid direct skin, eye, or mouth contact with the concentrate or its spray solution.

After completing the spray, wash hands, face, and exposed body parts thoroughly with soap and clean water.

Always spray downwind so the mist drifts away from the operator; never spray against the wind direction.

Keep children, pets, livestock, and unprotected persons away from the field during and immediately after spraying.

In case of accidental ingestion or contact, rinse with plenty of water and consult a doctor with the product label.
