Product details
Ekalux Insecticide | Quinalphos 25% EC
An organophosphate insecticide for label-approved crop and pest combinations. Do not use quinalphos on jute, cardamom or sorghum.
What it controls: Specified insect pests and mites in the crop-pest overview below, only where permitted by the current pack.
When to use it: After pest identification and confirmation of the current crop-specific label timing and restrictions.
What to include: The matching Ekalux label programme, calibrated equipment, required protection and the applicable harvest interval.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- 🌾Several defined rice targets: The formulation-use overview includes rice brown planthopper, hispa, blue beetle, leaf folder and stem borer. Each requires a matching crop-pest programme.
- 🌱Pulse-crop pest options: Bengal gram pod borer and red gram pod borer or pod fly are documented formulation-use targets. Confirm each on the current Ekalux pack.
- 🍃Groundnut pest coverage: Groundnut targets include leafhopper, thrips and leaf miner. Identify the pest before treatment.
- 🔄Recognisable resistance group: IRAC Group 1B identifies organophosphates. A brand change alone is not a change of mode of action.
- 💧Measurable EC formulation: Measure this liquid concentrate accurately and calibrate equipment. Do not assume a universal tank quantity.
Technical Specifications
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|

| Chemical Group | Organophosphates. |
| Formulation | EC — emulsifiable concentrate. |
| Toxicity Label | Follow the toxicity band, hazard statements and protective requirements on the supplied Ekalux pack. |
How It Works: Mode of Action
Quinalphos acts on the insect nervous system by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase. IRAC places it in Group 1B with other organophosphates. No systemic plant-movement claim is made here.
- Exposure to the active ingredient: Effective exposure requires the correct labelled product, placement and coverage.
- Inhibition of acetylcholinesterase: Quinalphos is an organophosphate in IRAC Group 1B. It inhibits the enzyme that normally breaks down the nerve messenger acetylcholine.
- Disrupted nerve signalling: Acetylcholine accumulates, disturbing normal nerve signalling and insect function. Resistant pests may respond differently.
Scout the crop and follow resistance-management advice. Another Group 1B product is not a different mode of action. Do not repeat sprays to compensate for unidentified pests or suspected resistance.

Dosage & Application Guide
No numerical application programme is provided for any crop in this guide. Read the current Ekalux label for the complete crop-pest dose, water volume, method, timing and harvest interval before use.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| All crop uses above | See note* | See note* | See note* | See note* |
Do not use a general 2 ml/L or 400 ml/acre recommendation for every crop. Different pest rows can require different programmes, and a missing harvest interval must never be treated as zero.
*A complete current Indian Ekalux 25% EC leaflet has not been confirmed for this guide. Numerical directions are withheld together rather than mixed from older formulation tables, different Ekalux formulations or other quinalphos brands.
Quinalphos use on jute, cardamom and sorghum is prohibited. This restriction applies even if an older leaflet, advisory or sales page still lists those crops.
PHI means the minimum period from the last application to harvest. It is separate from repeat-spray timing and worker re-entry.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Check the permitted crop: Do not use on jute, cardamom or sorghum. For another crop, confirm that the current Ekalux pack and applicable local requirements allow the intended use.
- Identify the actual pest: Match the pest and crop, rather than selecting a dose from a general list of insects. Different rice pests, for example, are separate programme checks.
- Confirm the full label programme: Establish product quantity, water, application method, timing, repeat limits, re-entry and PHI before preparation. No numerical programme is supplied by this page.
- Calibrate and prepare safely: Use dedicated measuring equipment, correctly calibrated application equipment and the pack-required protective clothing. Follow the pack mixing sequence.
- Avoid unsupported mixtures: Do not assume compatibility with stickers, fertilisers or other pesticides. Use only expressly supported combinations and do not increase the dose for faster effects.
- Record and review the treatment: Record the formulation, crop, target and date. Follow harvest and re-entry restrictions, reassess pest pressure and obtain qualified advice if control is unsatisfactory.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can Ekalux be used on cardamom thrips?No. Quinalphos is prohibited on cardamom, jute and sorghum under the Indian restriction notified on 3 October 2023. Older crop lists and retailer descriptions do not override that restriction.
2. Is Ekalux 25% EC interchangeable with Ekalux AF?No. Quinalphos 25% EC is a different formulation from Quinalphos 20% AF. Do not transfer quantities, crop directions or harvest intervals between them.
3. Why is there no universal per-litre dose?A tank concentration is not a substitute for the complete crop-pest programme. Current Ekalux dose, water, method and harvest directions have not been confirmed here, so no numerical spray recipe is supplied.
4. Does Group 1B mean the product is systemic?No. IRAC Group 1B describes the insect target site, acetylcholinesterase. It does not establish how a product moves inside plants. No systemic-protection or protection-of-new-growth claim is made here.
5. Can I harvest when visible pests have disappeared?No. Follow the crop-specific PHI from the last application even if pests are no longer visible. If the interval cannot be confirmed, do not assume immediate harvest is allowed.
