Product details
IPL 505 Insecticide by India Pesticides Limited
Chlorpyrifos 50% + cypermethrin 5% EC, combining two insecticide groups. Cotton and paddy appear in IPL’s historical product scope; verify the current pack before use.
Two active ingredients: Chlorpyrifos and cypermethrin in one EC formulation.
Documented crop scope: Cotton and paddy in IPL’s 2021 company prospectus.
Important distinction: The dated figures below are formulation references, not a current IPL 505 label.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- 🧴Defined premix: The 50% + 5% composition distinguishes IPL 505 from single-active chlorpyrifos products.
- 🌿Cotton reference: Documented formulation targets include specified sucking pests and caterpillars.
- 🌾Paddy reference: The dated Indian formulation record pairs rice with stem borer and leaf folder.
- 🔬Two nerve targets: The actives affect acetylcholinesterase and sodium-channel function respectively.
- 🔄Clear resistance groups: IRAC Groups 1B and 3A help identify repeated exposure when planning treatments.

How It Works: Mode of Action
The two active ingredients affect different parts of insect nerve signalling. This does not guarantee control of resistant pests or replace correct crop and pest identification.
- Chlorpyrifos action: Inhibits acetylcholinesterase, disrupting the normal termination of nerve signals.
- Cypermethrin action: Modulates sodium channels involved in carrying nerve impulses.
- Plan beyond the premix: If further treatment is needed, consider both active-ingredient groups when following local resistance-management advice.
Changing the brand name alone does not change the mode of action. Control speed and duration depend on the labelled use and field conditions; no fixed outcome is guaranteed.
Target Crops & Pests
The following crop–pest pairs come from the May 2018 Indian formulation record. They are a dated reference, not the current IPL 505 label.
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Cotton |
|
| Paddy |
|
IPL’s 2021 prospectus names cotton and paddy but gives an unpaired list: aphid, whitefly, jassid, thrips, American bollworm, spotted bollworm and leaf hopper. The paired reference above must not be read as proof of every current IPL 505 claim. Do not infer a paddy leaf-hopper recommendation from that historical list.
Dosage & Application Guide
Dated May 2018 formulation-level reference for the paired targets above. Confirm the current IPL 505 pack before selecting any application programme.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Product / Acre | Water (L / Acre) | Product / Litre | PHI |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cotton | Confirm label | 202–405* | Not given | 15 days* |
| Paddy | Confirm label | 202–283* | Not given | 15 days* |
Original water reference: cotton 500–1000 L/ha; paddy 500–700 L/ha. Acre values are rounded conversions. No product quantity is recommended here; confirm the current pack’s exact rate. PHI means the waiting period between the final application and harvest.
*Historical formulation information, not a complete current IPL 505 recommendation. The pack’s current crop, pest, rate, method, water and waiting-period directions take precedence. No per-litre or per-tank recipe has been calculated.
Do not use chlorpyrifos on ber, citrus or tobacco in India. Confirm current local restrictions and the exact pack’s timing, application route, repeat interval, maximum treatments, re-entry and harvest directions.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Identify the pest: Check the crop and target against the supplied IPL 505 label, rather than using a general “sucking and chewing pests” claim.
- Confirm the complete method: Do not transfer another chlorpyrifos product’s foliar, soil or building-termite directions to this premix.
- Measure the labelled programme: Verify the product amount and water volume together; an unspecified pump size is not a usable dose.
- Protect people and surroundings: Wear the required protection and follow the pack’s precautions for pollinators, water, drift, runoff and field entry.
