When should Cormoran® 180 EC be applied?
In general, it is advised that Cormoran® 180 EC should be applied early in the season. The one active ingredient, novaluron, controls Lepidopteran pests and should ideally be sprayed on the eggs or first instar caterpillars. Acetamiprid, the second active ingredient in Cormoran® 180 EC, will control any sucking insects present as per the label.
Usage instructions
Avoid using Cormoran® 180 EC on plants that are under stress conditions caused by drought, nematodes and water logging conditions etc. since this will affect the systemic uptake, translocation and chemical activity of the product. Avoid spraying CORMORAN® 180 EC on plants covered with dust as dust interferes with the proper uptake of product and contact with the insect.
