7 products approved for cardamom in the CIB&RC lists of major uses (insecticides, fungicides and herbicides up to 30 September 2026; bio-insecticides as on 30 September 2026), 5 of them with brand names. Guidance, not legal advice: check that a product is not banned or restricted.

How to use this page

  1. Pick your problem below (thrips, damping off, grasses…), or several at once, or type it in the search box. With several, the products approved for all of them come first.
  2. Choose one chemical from the cards. The dose is per acre and per 15-litre pump; the last spray must be that many days before you pick.
  3. Buy any brand of that exact chemical, strength and form (for example “18.5% SC”). The brand name differs, the chemical is the same. Check that cardamom is on the label.
  4. Do not spray the same chemical again and again. Change to a different chemical for the next spray, and never mix products the label does not allow.

Figures are rounded; the label of the pack you buy is final. Wear gloves and a mask while spraying.

About the brand names

Brand names are given only to help you find the product. Before buying, check that the chemical name and strength printed on the pack match what is shown here. Names marked ⓘ are from trade listings and not yet confirmed by the company; spelling mistakes are possible. For clarity, contact your nearest agri-input store (कृषी सेवा केंद्र) or agriculture officer. Other brands with the same chemical and strength work the same way. NanoKheti does not sell or endorse any brand.

ब्रँडची नावे फक्त उत्पादन ओळखण्यास मदत व्हावी म्हणून दिली आहेत. खरेदी करण्यापूर्वी पाकिटावर छापलेले रसायनाचे नाव व प्रमाण येथे दिलेल्याशी जुळते का ते तपासा. ⓘ खूण असलेली नावे व्यापारी यादीतून घेतली आहेत व कंपनीकडून अजून पडताळलेली नाहीत; नावात चूक असू शकते. अधिक माहितीसाठी जवळच्या कृषी सेवा केंद्राशी किंवा कृषी अधिकाऱ्याशी संपर्क साधा. तेच रसायन व तेच प्रमाण असलेले इतर ब्रँडही तसेच काम करतात. नॅनोखेती कोणताही ब्रँड विकत नाही किंवा त्याची शिफारस करत नाही.

Dose: per acre = the list’s dose per hectare × 0.405; per pump = the dose for a 15-litre pump at the water the list gives; rounded. Where the list gives the dose as a strength of the spray, the pump amount is that strength × 15 litres. Seed treatments are per kg of seed. Where a figure cannot be read safely, the card says “see the government figures below”. Sources: Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee, Directorate of Plant Protection, Quarantine and Storage: Major uses of pesticides (registered under the Insecticides Act, 1968), Insecticides, up to 30.09.2026, based on certificates issued; CIB&RC bio-insecticides as on 30 September 2026. Brands: linked names are from each company's own website (the link opens it), matched to the exact chemical, strength and form in the lists; names with ⓘ are from trade listings, checked by web search, not yet confirmed by the company. Large companies are listed first; the order is not a ranking, and NanoKheti does not sell pesticides or take money from any company.

Questions

Cardamom: short answers

Which pesticides are approved for thrips in cardamom?

The CIB&RC lists give 3 products for thrips on cardamom, including Acephate 95 % SG; Diafenthiuron 50 % WP; Lambda-cyhalothrin 04.90 % CS. Each card above shows the dose per acre and per pump, the days before harvest and brands of the same chemical. Use a product only as its approved label says.

Which pesticides are approved for damping off in cardamom?

The CIB&RC lists give 2 products for damping off on cardamom, including Fluopicolide 4.44% + Fosetylaluminium 66.67%WG; PYRACLOSTROBIN AL 80% WP. Each card above shows the dose per acre and per pump, the days before harvest and brands of the same chemical. Use a product only as its approved label says.

Can I use any brand of the same chemical on cardamom?

A brand with exactly the same chemical, strength and form (for example 18.5% SC) is the same product under another name. But each brand is approved for the crops on its own label, so check that cardamom is on the label of the pack you buy.
