The Ultimate Dual-Action Protection for Rice, Corn, and Vegetables
Minecto Xtra 400 SC is a revolutionary broad-spectrum insecticide that combines two powerful active ingredients to break the pest lifecycle completely. It doesn't just kill visible worms; it targets eggs, larvae, and adult moths simultaneously.
Best For: Farmers facing "overlapping generations" of pests (eggs and worms together) in Rice (Leaf Folder), Maize (Fall Armyworm), and Vegetables.

Product scienceHow It Works: Mode of Action
Minecto Xtra uses a "Hammer and Anvil" strategy to ensure no pest escapes.
[Image of lepidoptera life cycle control]
- The Hammer (Paralysis): Cyantraniliprole targets insect muscles, causing immediate paralysis. The pest stops feeding instantly, preventing further crop damage.
- The Anvil (Molting Inhibition): Lufenuron stops the larvae from producing chitin. When the worm tries to grow (molt), it dies because it cannot form a new skin.
- Reproductive Stop: It sterilizes adult female moths. Eggs laid by treated moths will never hatch, stopping the next generation before it starts.
*This dual action makes it effective even against pests that are resistant to ordinary sprays.
Useful detailsTarget Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |

How to applyDosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results.
How to applyDosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rice | 20 ml | 200 L | 0.1 ml | 14-21 |
| Maize / Cotton | 80 ml | 200 L | 0.4 ml | ~14 |
| Vegetables | 60 - 80 ml | 150 - 200 L | 0.4 ml | 7-14 |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
Useful detailsHow to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: For Rice, apply between 30-45 days after transplanting (Vegetative Stage) for best results against Leaf Folder.
- Mixing: Pre-mix the small dose (20ml) in a bucket of water first to create a slurry, then add it to your main tank. This ensures equal distribution.
- Coverage: Use 200 Litres of water per acre. Good coverage is essential because Lufenuron needs to cover the leaf surface for maximum effect.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Avoid spraying when bees are active.

For Rice (20ml dose), the cost is highly economical, approximately ₹130 to ₹160 per acre, making it cheaper than many generic alternatives.

Yes, it is generally compatible with common rice fungicides like Amistar Top (Azoxystrobin) or Score (Difenoconazole).
3. Does it kill Stem Borer in rice?
Yes, while it is the best solution for Leaf Folder, its systemic action also suppresses Yellow Stem Borer effectively.
4. Can I use it for Fall Armyworm in Maize?
