Product details
Anth-505 Insecticide by Krishi Rasayan
Anth-505 combines two active ingredients for the manufacturer-listed cotton and rice pests. The current brand label must resolve incomplete website dosing information before use.
Verified crop focus: Cotton and rice pests.
Two active ingredients: chlorpyrifos 50% + cypermethrin 5% EC.
Dose check needed: The website is not a complete current-label application programme.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- 🌱Exact crop scope: The target table follows the named brand’s manufacturer page, not every use of its ingredients.
- 🎯Defined pest group: Sucking pests and caterpillars on cotton, plus rice stem borer and leaf folder.
- 🔬Two mechanisms: Acetylcholinesterase inhibition plus sodium-channel modulation.
- 📋Crop-linked reference: Historical formulation quantities are kept separate from current brand directions.
- 🧭Clear use boundaries: National chlorpyrifos crop restrictions are stated explicitly.

How It Works: Mode of Action
The two components affect different biological processes in susceptible pests. This does not justify extra crops, higher doses or repeated use without a resistance plan.
- Pest exposure: The active ingredients reach susceptible pests through the permitted label programme.
- First component: Chlorpyrifos inhibits acetylcholinesterase and disrupts normal nerve signalling.
- Second component: Cypermethrin alters voltage-gated sodium channels and disrupts insect nerve function.
Follow crop-specific resistance-management advice and protect beneficial organisms. Do not assume that changing a brand while retaining the same active groups is an effective rotation.

The manufacturer’s two crop lists are retained separately. Generic formulation entries for brinjal, cabbage or okra are not added as current Anth-505 uses.
Dosage & Application Guide
Historical reference, not a verified current brand label: the table converts the CIBRC formulation entry dated 30 September 2025 to approximate acre quantities. Do not apply until the supplied current brand label confirms the complete programme.
Historical Formulation Reference: Acre Equivalents
| Crop | Target | Product / acre | Water / acre | PHI |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cotton | Listed cotton pests | 405 ml | 202–405 L | 15 days |
| Rice | Stem borer; leaf folder | 253–304 ml | 202–283 L | 15 days |
Historical formulation quantities: cotton 1000 ml/ha in 500–1000 L water/ha; rice 625–750 ml/ha in 500–700 L water/ha. Both rows state a 15-day harvest interval.
The KREPL page lists 625–750 ml and 1000 ml without area units. A second group website gives a general 250–300 ml/acre figure, which cannot replace separate complete cotton and rice programmes. Confirm the supplied current pack.
PHI is the interval from last treatment to harvest. Confirm the current brand dose, water, method, timing, re-entry and repeat limit before treatment. National restrictions prohibit chlorpyrifos on ber, citrus and tobacco.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Identify the crop and pest: Check the exact supplied brand label against the crop–pest table, without extending a broad-spectrum claim.
- Resolve the dose: Confirm the current product rate, area unit and water volume; the historical reference is not a replacement for the pack.
- Use the permitted method: Prepare and apply only as the exact label instructs, with calibrated equipment and appropriate protective clothing.
- Protect people and harvest: Observe current harvest and re-entry intervals; prevent drift and water contamination and use only permitted mixtures or repeat schedules.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Anth-505 contain?Chlorpyrifos 50% + cypermethrin 5% EC.
Which crop and pest scope is verified?Cotton and rice pests, as listed by the manufacturer.
Are the acre quantities a verified current brand label?No. They are explicitly historical formulation references from September 2025. Confirm the exact current brand programme before application.
Is Anth-505 the same as Anth 50?No. Anth-505 combines chlorpyrifos 50% with cypermethrin 5%; Anth 50 is a different formulation. Do not transfer rates between them.
What is the main use restriction?Chlorpyrifos is prohibited on ber, citrus and tobacco. The current pack and local rules may impose further conditions.
Safety & Disclaimer
Before you use it: Read the supplied label and leaflet. Use only for their stated crop, target, dose, method and intervals. Current national and local restrictions take priority over older recommendations.
Wear the protective clothing and equipment specified on the pack. Avoid breathing dust or spray and contact with skin and eyes. Do not eat, drink or smoke while handling; wash after work.
Keep in the original closed container away from children, animals, food and feed. Prevent contamination of water bodies and protect beneficial organisms. Do not reuse empty packs. For exposure or poisoning, seek medical care promptly and show the label.
