How It Works: Mode of Action
Chlorpyrifos is an IRAC Group 1B insecticide that interferes with normal nerve signalling.
- Pest exposure: The product acts through contact and ingestion; Crystal also describes fumigant activity.
- Nerve disruption: Chlorpyrifos blocks an enzyme needed to reset nerve messages.
- Loss of control: The disrupted signals can lead to paralysis and death in susceptible insects.
Use suitable products from different mode-of-action groups in rotation. Changing only the brand name does not change the mode of action.
Fumigant activity is a product property, not permission to improvise enclosed-space fumigation.
Target Crops & Pests
Match each crop with its listed target. Do not extend a recommendation to an unlisted crop or pest.
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Cotton |
|
| Paddy (rice) |
|
| Buildings |
Pre-construction and post-construction uses are separate from crop treatment. |
Crystal lists leaf roller in paddy. The general formulation record says leaf folder; confirm the pest and its matching directions on the current pack.
Dosage & Application Guide
The field quantities are published by Crystal. Water and PHI marked † are general CIBRC guidance for chlorpyrifos 50% EC, not verified Predator pack directions. Confirm the application method and all intervals before use.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cotton | 400–480 | Approx. 202.3–404.7† 500–1000 L/ha |
See note* | 30† |
| Paddy (rice) | 300–320 | Approx. 202.3–404.7† 500–1000 L/ha |
See note* | 15† |
| Buildings | See note* | See note* | See note* | Not applicable |
Building termite treatment is not a per-acre crop spray. Do not put a building-treatment mixture onto a crop.
*For buildings, Crystal gives a reference mixture of 1 L product in 99 L water. The treatment method, quantity per treated area, occupancy and re-entry precautions must be confirmed from the current structural-use label; this is not a complete treatment recipe.
†General CIBRC reference: cotton bollworms 1,000–1,200 ml/ha and rice stem borer/leaf folder 750–800 ml/ha, both with 500–1,000 L/ha water; PHIs 30 and 15 days respectively. This does not confirm the same programme for every leaf-roller pest or establish Predator application method or timing.
Acre water figures are approximate conversions; hectare quantities remain shown. No crop per-litre or tank rate is calculated. PHI is the minimum time from last treatment to harvest.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Choose the use: Keep cotton, paddy and building-termite directions separate.
- Confirm crop directions: Check the current pack application route, crop timing, water and repeat limits before mixing.
- Structural work: Use the current building-treatment instructions and a suitably trained pest-control operator; do not improvise a treatment method.
- Harvest and access: Confirm crop harvest and worker re-entry intervals, or building occupancy precautions, as applicable.
- Protect water and people: Prevent spray drift and contamination of water, food and occupied areas.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Predator a systemic insecticide?Crystal describes contact, stomach and fumigant activity. No whole-plant systemic claim is made here.
Which agricultural crops are listed?Cotton for bollworms and paddy for stem borer and leaf roller.
Can the building mixture be used as a crop spray?No. The building-termite use has a different purpose and must follow its own structural-treatment label.
What harvest intervals are shown?General formulation guidance lists cotton 30 days and paddy 15 days. Confirm the current Predator label before application.
Is 1 L in 99 L water enough information for treating a building?No. You also need the authorised method, treated-area quantity and safety, occupancy and re-entry directions. Have a suitably trained operator follow the current label.
