How to use this page

Pick your problem below (grasses…), or several at once, or type it in the search box. With several, the products approved for all of them come first.
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.
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 garlic is on the label.
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.

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. The lists say: “The document has been compiled on the basis of available information for guidance and not for legal purposes.”

Questions

Garlic: short answers

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

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 garlic is on the label of the pack you buy.
