Product details
Etna Insecticide by Sumitomo
Etna combines profenofos 40% with fenpyroximate 2.5% EC for insect and mite management. Sumitomo describes translaminar activity and lists chilli thrips, mites and borers, and brinjal fruit and shoot borers.
Two active ingredients: Profenofos 40% + fenpyroximate 2.5% EC.
Crops identified: Chilli and brinjal, with different stated pest scope.
Leaf activity: The manufacturer describes translaminar movement.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
-
🎯 Insect-and-mite combination: Two active ingredients bring distinct modes of action in one EC formulation. Early larval activity: Sumitomo describes control of neonate (newly hatched) larvae. This is product-level activity, not an additional crop–pest–dose recommendation or guaranteed outcome.
-
🌶️ Chilli pest scope: Manufacturer coverage includes thrips, mites and borers.
-
🌱 Brinjal pest scope: Fruit and shoot borers are named for brinjal.
-
🍃 Translaminar activity: The manufacturer describes action across leaf surfaces. Knockdown and persistence: Sumitomo describes quick knockdown and longer-duration control. This is not a guaranteed kill time or fixed protection period and does not justify dose escalation or automatic repeat treatments.
-
🔬 Defined resistance groups: Profenofos and fenpyroximate belong to IRAC Groups 1B and 21A respectively.

How It Works: Mode of Action
The combination acts at two different biological targets. IRAC classifies profenofos as a Group 1B acetylcholinesterase inhibitor and fenpyroximate as a Group 21A mitochondrial complex I electron transport inhibitor.
-
Nerve-signalling target: Profenofos inhibits acetylcholinesterase, disrupting normal nerve signalling in susceptible pests.
-
Energy-production target: Fenpyroximate inhibits mitochondrial complex I electron transport.
-
Leaf-level activity: Sumitomo describes translaminar action; this is not proof of universal whole-plant systemic control.
A change of brand does not necessarily change the mode of action. Use label-compliant resistance-management guidance; this overview does not prescribe a mixture or rotation partner.

Dosage & Application Guide
Application Requirements
Use only a complete programme from the supplied label for the intended crop or site and target. Keep product quantity, water volume, application method, timing and waiting periods together.
Obtain the supplied label’s crop-specific directions before use, including water quantity, method, timing, harvest and re-entry intervals, repeat limits and maximum treatments. Do not infer a per-litre dilution from ingredient percentages or increase the dose because infestation appears severe.
How to Apply: Best Practices
-
Read the complete directions: Use the supplied label and leaflet for the intended crop or site, target, product amount, water, method and timing before measuring or applying.
-
Keep the programme together: Use the matching crop-specific instructions for preparation, equipment, coverage and application limits. Do not combine instructions from different crops, sources or formulations.
-
Plan access and harvest: Follow the label’s harvest and re-entry intervals. A dry spray deposit or dry foliage alone does not establish safe entry.
-
Check any proposed mixture: Do not assume tank-mix or additive compatibility. Follow the exact labels and obtain product-specific technical advice before combining products.
The catalogue records 100 ml, 250 ml, 500 ml and 1 litre pack options. Confirm your selected option and delivered formulation, label, seal, batch/date and quantity. A recorded option does not confirm current availability or treatment area.
Frequently Asked Questions
Chilli thrips, mites and borers; brinjal fruit and shoot borers. Do not interchange the two pest lists.
It combines the insecticidal active profenofos with the acaricidal active fenpyroximate. An acaricide is used against mites; the exact crop and pest must still match the label.
No. EC means emulsifiable concentrate. Follow the supplied label for preparation and application; ingredient percentages do not give a spray dilution.
Use the complete crop-specific label programme and its matching water volume to measure the product for the area being treated. Pack and tank sizes alone do not establish treated area.
Check pest identification, application quality and the permitted programme with a qualified crop adviser. Do not automatically repeat, shorten an interval or raise the dose.
Safety & Disclaimer
Before you use it: Read the supplied label and leaflet for the crop, target, application programme and waiting periods. This product overview does not replace the label. Dry foliage alone does not establish safe re-entry; follow the applicable label interval and restrictions.
Wear the label-required protective equipment. Avoid breathing spray or dust and prevent skin and eye contact. Do not eat, drink or smoke while handling; wash after use. Keep children, animals, food, feed and drinking water away.
Store in the original labelled container as directed. Prevent drift, spills and washings from reaching water bodies; observe pollinator precautions. Follow the label for first aid, emergencies and disposal. Never reuse the empty container.
