InsecticidesSyngenta Curacron contains Profenofos 50% EC, an organophosphate insecticide in IRAC Group 1B.
The verified Indian major-use directions cover cotton bollworms; cotton jassids, aphids, thrips and whiteflies; and soybean semi looper and girdle beetle. The dose, spray-water volume and pre-harvest interval differ by crop and pest group, so use the relevant label row rather than a universal per-litre rate.

IRAC classifies profenofos as a Group 1B acetylcholinesterase inhibitor. It disrupts normal nerve-signal regulation in susceptible target pests. This target-site classification is useful for resistance planning, but it does not justify claims of guaranteed control or zero resistance risk.
Use only as a directed foliar application and obtain uniform crop coverage with the water volume stated for the registered crop. Do not describe Curacron as systemic, curative or universally translaminar unless the current Indian pack label expressly supports that claim.
| Crop | Registered pest(s) | Formulation dose | Water volume | PHI |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cotton | Bollworm | 1,500–2,000 ml/ha | 500–1,000 L/ha | 15 days |
| Cotton | Jassids, aphids, thrips and whiteflies | 1,000 ml/ha | 500–1,000 L/ha | 15 days |
| Soybean | Semi looper and girdle beetle | 1,000 ml/ha | 500 L/ha | 40 days |
PHI means pre-harvest interval. The official major-use table reports the rates per hectare. Do not replace them with an invented universal per-acre or per-litre dose.
Syngenta classifies Curacron as a highly toxic poison. Wear protective clothing, chemical-resistant gloves, eye and face protection, a suitable mask, and boots while measuring, mixing and spraying. Avoid inhalation and skin, eye or mouth contact. Do not eat, drink, smoke or chew during handling, and wash thoroughly after use. Avoid application when bees are actively foraging and prevent spray, drift, washings and runoff from reaching aquaculture or other water bodies.
Keep the original container sealed, locked and upright in a cool, dry, ventilated pesticide-storage area away from children, food, feed, seed and ignition sources. Never reuse the empty container. If exposure is suspected, stop work, move the person away from exposure, rinse contaminated skin or eyes with clean water as appropriate, and obtain urgent medical help with the pack and label. Any antidotal treatment must be administered by a qualified medical professional.
Disclaimer: This information supports product selection and does not replace the statutory label. Always read and follow the current Syngenta Curacron pack and leaflet, including every crop, dose, PHI, safety, first-aid and disposal direction.
