K-Obiol

K-Obiol by ENVU is a professional residual insecticide developed for protecting stored rice, wheat, grains and seeds from damaging storage pests. It can be applied to approved storage surfaces, stacks and gunny bags to help control insects that contaminate stored commodities and reduce their quality.

The product contains Deltamethrin, a synthetic pyrethroid that acts through contact and ingestion. Susceptible insects are controlled when they contact or consume treated material. K-Obiol provides knockdown action together with residual performance, helping protect treated storage areas for an extended period when applied correctly.

Its wettable-powder formulation disperses in water and can be applied using simple, correctly calibrated spraying equipment. ENVU describes K-Obiol as chemically stable, odourless and suitable for grain-storage and warehouse pest-management programmes.

Mode of Action

K-Obiol is a non-systemic insecticide that acts through contact and ingestion. Deltamethrin affects normal nerve transmission in susceptible insects, producing knockdown, paralysis and control.

Mixing and Application Instructions

1. Inspect the warehouse or storage area and identify pest activity.
2. Read the complete product label before opening the pack.
3. Wear the protective equipment specified on the label.
4. Measure the required quantity of K-Obiol.
5. Mix it first with a small quantity of water to form a smooth premix.
6. Add the premix to the spray tank.
7. Add the remaining water and agitate thoroughly.
8. Apply uniformly to approved stacks, gunny bags or warehouse surfaces.
9. Maintain agitation during spraying so the wettable powder remains evenly dispersed.
10. Avoid excessive spraying, dripping, runoff and contamination of untreated commodities.

Important Application Precautions

• Do not spray directly on foodstuffs or utensils unless the registered label specifically permits the treatment.
• Remove or securely protect exposed food and food-handling equipment.
• Use only properly calibrated application equipment.
• Do not exceed the recommended dosage.
• Keep people and animals away during application.
• Apply only to pests, commodities and surfaces approved on the original label.
• Wash hands and exposed skin thoroughly with soap and water after spraying.

Safety and Handling

Avoid inhaling the powder or spray mist and prevent contact with the skin, eyes and clothing. Wear suitable protective gloves, goggles, protective clothing and respiratory protection where required. Avoid creating airborne dust while preparing the spray.

K-Obiol is very toxic to aquatic life and may cause temporary burning, tingling or stinging sensations following skin exposure. Prevent the product, diluted spray and equipment wash water from entering drains, ponds, waterways or groundwater.

Store the product securely in its original labelled packaging, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, children, food and animal feed. Do not reuse empty packaging and dispose of unused material according to applicable pesticide-waste regulations.

First Aid

• Inhalation: Move the affected person to fresh air and obtain medical assistance.
• Skin contact: Remove contaminated clothing and wash the skin thoroughly with soap and water.
• Eye contact: Rinse carefully with plenty of clean water for at least 15 minutes.
• Swallowing: Rinse the mouth and seek immediate medical advice.

The ENVU leaflet mentions antihistamines, diazepam and other symptomatic treatment, while the safety data sheet states that there is no specific antidote. Medical treatment must be provided only by a qualified healthcare professional.
