Syngenta Cigna Lufenuron 5.4% EC Insecticide
InsecticidesSyngenta Cigna: Product Overview
Syngenta Cigna contains Lufenuron 5.4% w/w EC. It is an insect growth inhibitor for the specific crop-and-pest combinations on the current Indian label. It is not a general-purpose pesticide and must not be applied to crops or pests that are not listed on that label.
Lufenuron is a benzoylurea classified by IRAC in Group 15. It inhibits chitin biosynthesis, so susceptible larvae cannot complete normal moulting and cuticle formation. This is a larval-growth mode of action; it should not be presented as a universal knockdown treatment for every insect problem.

6 topicsWhy farmers choose itWhy Choose Cigna?
- Verified formulation: Syngenta India identifies Cigna as Lufenuron 5.4% EC.
- Defined larval mode of action: Lufenuron is an IRAC Group 15 chitin-biosynthesis inhibitor.
- Label-specific uses: the current statutory label covers named borer and diamondback-moth uses in six crop rows.
- Crop-specific harvest intervals: the PHI is not one universal number; it varies by crop from 5 to 65 days.
- Resistance-aware use: do not repeatedly rely on Group 15 products against successive pest generations. Select any later treatment only when its own current label matches the crop and pest.

Product scienceHow It Works: Mode of Action
- Larval exposure: the active ingredient reaches susceptible target larvae through label-directed application.
- Chitin disruption: Lufenuron interferes with chitin biosynthesis, an essential process in larval development and moulting.
- Resistance stewardship: Group 15 includes Lufenuron and Novaluron. Avoid making another Group 15 product the automatic next treatment; any different-group option must independently match the field diagnosis and its own Indian label.
How to applyRegistered Crops, Pests, Dose and PHI
The values below are transcribed in their official hectare units. Do not turn them into a universal per-acre, per-litre, pump or tank rate. The current physical pack remains the final authority.
| Crop | Target pest | Dose / ha | Water / ha | PHI |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cabbage | Diamondback moth | 30 g a.i.; 600 ml formulation | 500 L | 14 days |
| Cauliflower | Diamondback moth | 30 g a.i.; 600 ml formulation | 500 L | 5 days |
| Pigeon pea | Pod borer; pod fly | 30 g a.i.; 600 ml formulation | 500–1,000 L | 65 days |
| Cotton | American bollworm ( Helicoverpa armigera ) | 30 g a.i.; 600 ml formulation | 500–750 L | 48 days |
| Black gram | Pod borer | 30 g a.i.; 600 ml formulation | 500 L | 10 days |
| Chilli | Fruit borer | 30 g a.i.; 600 ml formulation | 500 L | 5 days |
PHI is the minimum interval from the last spray to harvest. The statutory label states a maximum of two sprays and describes first use at pest appearance when the population reaches the economic threshold, with any repeat only according to label conditions.
How to applyApplication and Safety
- Read the current label first: do not transfer this product’s directions to another formulation or brand.
- Measure and calibrate: use the crop-specific hectare dose and water volume above; ensure equipment is calibrated for uniform coverage.
- Protect people and the crop environment: wear the PPE required by the current pack. Do not eat, drink, smoke or chew tobacco while handling; wash exposed skin and contaminated clothing as instructed on the label.
- No automatic mixture or sequence: this page does not approve tank mixing with an insecticide, fungicide, fertilizer, adjuvant or biological product.
Use with careSafety & Disclaimer
Always read and follow the official product label and leaflet. This page is guidance only and does not replace crop diagnosis, local agronomic advice or the current Indian label. Keep the product in its original container, away from children, food and feed. In an exposure emergency, follow the pack first-aid instructions and seek medical advice.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which crops can Cigna be used on?
Only the label-listed crops: cabbage, cauliflower, pigeon pea, cotton, black gram and chilli, for the named pests and conditions above.
What is the Cigna dose per acre?
This page intentionally retains the official hectare rates and water volumes. Do not use a retailer-derived acre or pump conversion; follow the current pack label and locally applicable agronomic guidance.
Can Cigna be used again after another lufenuron or novaluron product?
Those products are in IRAC Group 15. Do not make a same-group repeat the default; use resistance-aware, label-matched advice for the exact crop and pest.
What is the harvest interval?
It varies by crop from 5 to 65 days. Use the row for the exact crop and confirm it against the physical pack.
