How It Works: Mode of Action
Chlorpyrifos affects the enzyme that normally breaks down the nerve-signalling chemical acetylcholine.
- Pest exposure: Follow the crop-specific application directions on the supplied label.
- Nerve enzyme is inhibited: Chlorpyrifos inhibits acetylcholinesterase.
- Normal nerve function is disrupted: Susceptible insects cannot regulate nerve signals normally; no fixed persistence period is promised.
Use the stated mode-of-action group when planning resistance management. A different brand name does not necessarily mean a different mode of action.

Use only crop and target combinations permitted by the current supplied label. Wider uses of the same active ingredient or other formulations are not automatically uses of this product. Chlorpyrifos is prohibited on ber, citrus and tobacco in India. A general termite or seed-treatment statement does not establish a crop-specific treatment recipe.
Dosage & Application Guide
Historical formulation reference only: the table below is based on the September 2025 CIBRC major-use compilation. It is not a complete current Lethal label or an independent instruction to apply. Confirm every value against the supplied pack before use.
Qualified formulation rates and waiting periods
| Crop / programme | Product / acre* | Water / acre* | Tank dose | Reference PHI |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ten field-crop uses | Current pack | 202–405 L | Not supplied | Not stated |
| Apple | Current pack | 607–809 L | Not supplied | Not stated |
Historical water reference: paddy, bean, gram, sugarcane, cotton, groundnut, mustard, brinjal, cabbage and onion each 500–1000 L/ha, approximately 202–405 L/acre. Apple: 1500–2000 L/ha, approximately 607–809 L/acre. These grouped rows share the stated water range and an unstated PHI; product quantities and methods are not supplied. The source’s blank waiting period is not zero days.
*Area quantities are approximate acre equivalents of the original hectare values stated above. PHI means the time between the last treatment and harvest; “not stated” is not zero days.
The manufacturer’s online quantity may omit an area denominator. Do not infer it. Confirm the current brand rate, water, application method, timing, repeat limits, re-entry, rainfast period and harvest directions. No per-litre or tank recipe is derived here.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Confirm the crop and target: Identify the problem and match it to the current supplied label, not just the active ingredient.
- Use the complete pack directions: Check the crop-specific rate, water, equipment, timing and placement before measuring product.
- Do not assume a mixture is suitable: Use another product or adjuvant only when the relevant labels permit that combination. A jar test alone does not establish crop safety or permission.
- Protect people and nearby areas: Follow protective-equipment and re-entry directions, prevent drift and water contamination, and observe the required harvest interval.
