Technical Specifications Parameter Details Brand Name Incipio™ Technical Name Isocycloseram 18.1% w/w SC IRAC MoA Code Group 30 (GABA-gated Cl- channel modulator) Chemical Group Isoxazoline Formulation Suspension Concentrate (SC) Toxicity Label Blue Triangle (Moderately Toxic) How It Works: Mode of Action Incipio works differently from older pesticides. It uses a unique "locking" mechanism on the pest's nervous system. Contact & Ingestion: The pest absorbs the chemical by touching the treated leaf or eating it. Nervous System Lock: Isocycloseram binds to a specific site in the pest's nervous system (GABA receptor), effectively locking it. Hyperexcitation & Death: The pest's nerves become over-excited and cannot calm down. This leads to paralysis, an inability to feed, and death. Because it attacks a different site than other chemicals, it kills pests that have survived other sprays. Target Crops & Pests Crop Target Pest(s) Rice (Paddy) Yellow Stem Borer (Prevents Dead Heart & White Ear) Rice (Paddy) Rice Leaf Folder Maize Stem Borer Categories Dosage & Application Guide The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results. Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI) Crop Dose (ml / Acre) Water (L / Acre) Dose (ml / Litre) PHI (Days) Rice (Paddy) 120 ml 150 - 200 Litres 0.6 - 0.8 ml 20 - 21 Days Maize 120 ml 150 - 200 Litres 0.6 - 0.8 ml 20 - 21 Days *PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting. How to Apply: Best Practices Timing (Preventive): Apply 1st spray during vegetative stage (15-25 Days After Transplanting) to prevent Dead Heart. Apply 2nd spray during Panicle Initiation (35-45 Days) to prevent White Ear. Mixing: Do NOT mix with alkaline products (like Bordeaux mixture or Sulphur). Always perform a small jar test before mixing with fungicides. Coverage: Use 150-200 Litres of water per acre. Good water volume ensures the chemical reaches the stem base where larvae hide. Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Avoid spraying when bees are actively foraging. Frequently Asked Questions 1. What is the difference between Incipio and Simodis? Incipio (18.1% SC) is specially formulated for Rice stem borers and leaf folders. Simodis is a different formulation (DC) designed for vegetables (Chilli, Brinjal) and Cotton to control mites and thrips along with borers. 2. Is Incipio rainfast? Yes, Incipio has excellent rainfastness. It binds to the leaf surface within 1-2 hours, so rain after this period will not wash it away. 3. How much Incipio should I use for one acre? The standard recommendation is one 120 ml bottle per acre. Do not reduce the dose, as it may reduce efficacy against resistant pests. 4. Can I mix Incipio with fungicides? It is generally compatible with common fungicides like Amistar Top (Azoxystrobin). However, never mix it with highly alkaline substances (pH > 8.5). 5. Why is it more expensive than generic medicines? While the bottle cost is higher, one spray of Incipio lasts 21 days, replacing 2-3 sprays of cheaper generics. It also saves labor costs and prevents yield loss, giving you a higher return on investment. Safety & Disclaimer Always read and follow the instructions on the official product label.
