Product details
Confidence 555 Insecticide by Crystal Crop Protection
Imidacloprid 17.8% SL for the listed sucking pests in paddy, cotton, chilli and mango, and termites in sugarcane.
What it controls: Listed hoppers, aphids, whiteflies, jassids, thrips and sugarcane termites.
When to use it: Match the crop and pest to the pack, including the crop-specific method and treatment stage.
What to include: The correct crop dose, water quantity and harvest interval; mango uses a per-tree basis.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- 🌿Systemic action: Imidacloprid moves within the treated plant to control susceptible pests.
- 🌾Paddy hopper coverage: Targets brown planthopper, white-backed planthopper and green leafhopper.
- ☁️Cotton sucking-pest control: Covers the listed aphids, whiteflies, jassids and thrips in cotton.
- 🥭Mango hopper option: Mango hoppers are included with a separate per-tree dose, not an acre dose.
- 🎋Sugarcane termite use: Termites in sugarcane are a distinct listed use and need their own application directions.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Confidence 555 contains imidacloprid, an IRAC Group 4A insecticide that affects insect nerve signals.
- Movement within the plant: The active ingredient is systemic, so it can move inside treated plant tissue.
- Nerve signals are disrupted: Susceptible insects lose normal nerve control after exposure.
- Pest control follows: The disruption leads to paralysis and death of susceptible pests.
Use pest scouting and other suitable control methods as part of an integrated pest-management programme. Repeated use of Group 4A products can select resistant pests; a different brand with the same group is not a different mode of action.
Target Crops & Pests
The crop and pest must both match. Sugarcane termite treatment is not interchangeable with a leaf-pest treatment or with building termite control.
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Paddy (rice) |
|
| Cotton |
|
| Chilli |
|
| Sugarcane |

| Mango |

Dosage & Application Guide
The table gives Crystal’s published brand doses. Water and harvest intervals are qualified formulation references in the notes below, not a complete Confidence 555 application programme. Do not apply until the supplied pack confirms the method, timing and matching quantities.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paddy (rice) | 40–50 | See note* | See note* | See note* |
| Cotton | 40–51 | See note* | See note* | See note* |
| Chilli | 50–100 | See note* | See note* | See note* |
| Sugarcane | 140 | See note* | See note* | See note* |
| Mango | Per-tree dose 2–4 ml/tree; not per acre |
See note* | See note* | See note* |
Imidacloprid 17.8% SL formulation reference only: paddy and cotton use 100–125 ml product/ha with 500–700 L water/ha and a 40-day harvest interval. This is approximately 40.5–50.6 ml product and 202.3–283.3 L water per acre.
The matching chilli formulation reference is 125–250 ml/ha with 500–700 L water/ha and 40 days before harvest, approximately 50.6–101.2 ml product and 202.3–283.3 L water per acre.
For sugarcane termites, the formulation reference is 350 ml/ha with 1,875 L water/ha and 45 days before harvest, approximately 141.6 ml product and 758.8 L water per acre. This does not establish how to apply Confidence 555 to sugarcane.
For mango hoppers, the formulation reference pairs 2–4 ml product per tree with 10 L water and 45 days before harvest. Keep this tree-based record separate from all acre rates.
* The brand information does not provide crop-specific water, per-litre concentration, harvest interval, application route, treatment timing, repeat interval or re-entry period. The formulation references above do not fill these missing brand directions. Check that the supplied Confidence 555 label matches the whole crop–pest programme before use. Do not calculate a pump dose from these figures.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Identify the target: Check the crop and pest against the target table before selecting a treatment.
- Keep crop directions separate: Use the supplied pack’s specific method for sugarcane termites. Do not copy a foliar-spray method from paddy, cotton, chilli or mango.
- Measure by the correct basis: Field-crop brand quantities are per acre; mango is 2–4 ml per tree. Never treat a per-tree quantity as a per-acre rate.
- Complete the programme first: Use the current pack’s water volume, treatment stage, repeat interval, re-entry and harvest directions. The formulation references above are not standalone instructions.
- Tank mixtures: Do not assume compatibility with another pesticide or fertilizer. A jar test alone does not establish crop safety or approval.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Confidence 555?It is Crystal Crop Protection’s imidacloprid 17.8% SL systemic insecticide for the listed sucking pests and sugarcane termites.
Which crops are included?Paddy, cotton, chilli, sugarcane and mango. Match each crop to its listed pest; the doses are not interchangeable.
Is the mango rate per acre?No. The manufacturer gives 2–4 ml per mango tree. The qualified formulation reference pairs this with 10 L water and a 45-day harvest interval, subject to the supplied pack’s complete directions.
Can the sugarcane termite dose be used as a general leaf spray?No. The 140 ml/acre manufacturer dose does not by itself specify a route. Use it only with the supplied Confidence 555 sugarcane-termite application directions.
Does changing to another imidacloprid brand help resistance management?Not by itself. Imidacloprid remains IRAC Group 4A whatever the brand. Use an appropriate resistance-management plan with other modes of action and non-chemical controls.
