Not banned but in EU Pesticides Watchlist; Use with caution
NOTE:
 Recommended agrochemicals for the management of various insect pests and diseases along with their dose, PHI
and MRL values are recommendations by Universities and Institutes & available research literature, hence are of
advisory nature for the Good Pomegranate Production Practices and therefore, not covered under any legal
scrutiny.
 As the data based on scientific field trials on PHI for pomegranate are not available for all chemicals hence, are
based on available residue analysis reports of limited pomegranate samples of harvested produce during previous
years or PHI for other fruit crops grown in similar climatic conditions and hence, may change at later stage on
availability of scientific data. Therefore PHI given here are only indicative and adhoc in nature and are of advisory
nature, therefore, not covered under any legal scrutiny.
 All the doses mentioned above are for high volume sprayers, where normal spray volume is 800-1000 l/ha. Spray
volume can however be changed as per the efficiency of sprayers used. However, the amount of each pesticide
(active ingredient) recommended for 1 ha on the basis of 1000 l spray solution should be strictly maintained to
minimize pesticide residues.
 The responsibility of safe usage of chemicals for the management of any of the above pests and diseases will rest
with the growers or exporters in compliance with the requirements of the importers/EU. ICAR-National Research
Centre on Pomegranate shall not be covered under any legal scrutiny.
