Anth Super - Chlorpyrifos 16% + Alpha-Cypermethrin 1% EC - Krishi Rasayan
Anth Super Insecticide by Krishi Rasayan
Anth Super combines two active ingredients for the manufacturer-listed cotton bollworms. The current brand label must resolve incomplete website dosing information before use.
Verified crop focus: Cotton bollworms.
Two active ingredients: chlorpyrifos 16% + alpha-cypermethrin 1% 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: Three cotton bollworms.
- 🔬Two mechanisms: Acetylcholinesterase inhibition plus sodium-channel modulation.
- đź“‹Crop-linked reference: Historical formulation quantities are kept separate from current brand directions.
- đź§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: Alpha-cypermethrin alters voltage-gated sodium channels, further disrupting 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.

General statements about broad-spectrum action do not extend Anth Super to all bollworms on every crop.
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Historical reference, not a verified current brand label: the table converts the CIBRC formulation entry dated 30 September 2025 to approximate acre quantities.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 | Three bollworms | 1012 ml | 202–304 L | 15 days |
The historical formulation row gives cotton 2500 ml product/ha in 500–750 L water/ha, with a 15-day harvest interval.
The manufacturer page prints “2500 ml” without an area unit. That is not sufficient to decide between a hectare, acre or tank quantity. The historical reference below does not silently repair that omission.
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 Super contain?Chlorpyrifos 16% + alpha-cypermethrin 1% EC.
Which crop and pest scope is verified?Cotton bollworms, 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.
How is Anth Super different from Anth-505?Anth Super contains chlorpyrifos 16% plus alpha-cypermethrin 1%. Anth-505 has different active proportions and cypermethrin, so their quantities are not interchangeable.
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.
