Product details
Premain Strong Insecticide | Chlorpyrifos 50% EC
A chlorpyrifos insecticide for specific rice, cotton and building-termite uses, subject to the exact
permissions and complete directions on the supplied current Indian pack.
Match the exact product: Check Premain Strong, ADAMA and Chlorpyrifos 50% EC on the
pack. Ordinary Premain, a 20% EC product or a chlorpyrifos mixture is not interchangeable.
Choose by crop and pest: Rice stem borer and leaf folder, cotton bollworms and
building termites are different uses. Do not transfer a building treatment to a crop.
Confirm the selected size: Pack options include 250 ml, 500 ml and 1 L. Confirm the
selected pack before ordering. Bottle size is not the application amount.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
-
🌾 Rice pest fit: An option for stem borer
and leaf folder when the supplied current pack expressly permits the exact rice use.
-
🌿 Cotton pest fit: A crop-specific option
for bollworms when the supplied pack permits that use; this does not cover every sucking or chewing pest.
-
🐛 Contact and feeding activity: Chlorpyrifos
can affect susceptible insects through contact and ingestion. Correct placement still depends on the permitted application method.

How It Works: Mode of Action
-
Blocks a nerve-signal enzyme: Chlorpyrifos inhibits acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme that normally breaks down the nerve messenger
acetylcholine.
-
Allows the messenger to build up: When acetylcholine is not cleared normally, nerve cells keep receiving stimulation.
-
Disrupts normal nerve function: Continued overstimulation can lead to loss of normal movement and death in susceptible insects.
These are linked steps of one mode of action, not three separate modes. Include IRAC Group 1B in resistance
planning. Changing only the brand or choosing another Group 1B product does not provide a different-mode rotation. Follow the pack’s
permitted alternatives and application limits. Control is not guaranteed, and treatment cannot reverse damage already
present.
Target Crops, Sites & Pests
Use the following pairs only when expressly permitted on the supplied current Indian Premain Strong pack.
Confirm the complete directions for the exact crop or site before application.
| Crop or site |
Target pests |
|---|---|
| Rice (paddy) |
Stem borer; leaf folder |
| Cotton |
Bollworms |
| Buildings |
Termites, for permitted pre-construction or post-construction protection only |
Do not use chlorpyrifos on ber, citrus or tobacco in India. Do not extend these uses to other crops or take
crop, seed or soil directions from another chlorpyrifos concentration. Building treatment is a separate non-agricultural use, not a
general indoor or household spray permission.
Dosage & Application Guide
Resolve the complete crop or site directions before measuring
Before use on rice or cotton, establish the exact product amount, water volume, application method,
first-treatment crop and pest conditions, harvest interval and restrictions from the supplied current Indian pack. No complete
application programme is given here.
For building termites, obtain the full permitted construction-stage method, treatment locations, dilution and
safety directions before work. Do not turn a crop rate into a building recipe or treat a general concentration as a complete
construction-treatment instruction.
Measure the intended area and follow the pack’s complete directions. The 250 ml, 500 ml and 1 L figures
describe pack options, not quantities for one acre or one tank. Do not infer a per-litre recipe, nozzle, treatment frequency or
re-entry period from the EC formulation.
If any required direction is missing or unclear, resolve it before application. Missing water or harvest
information does not mean that no water or restriction applies, or that immediate harvest is allowed. The pre-harvest interval is the
time from the final application to harvest; worker re-entry and repeat-treatment intervals are separate. No fixed rainfast interval is
implied.
How to Apply: Best Practices
-
Identify the exact pack: Match Premain Strong, ADAMA and Chlorpyrifos 50% EC. Do not substitute another brand, concentration,
mixture or overseas label.
-
Check the intended use: Identify the crop or building site and target pest. Follow the current pack’s exact first-treatment
conditions; do not invent an infestation threshold or calendar date.
-
Prepare suitable equipment: Follow the specified equipment, nozzle, mixing sequence and agitation instructions. Calibrate for the
measured area. Do not interchange crop spraying, soil application, seed treatment or building treatment.
-
Protect nearby areas: Avoid drift and follow the pack’s wind and weather precautions. Protect non-target plants, beneficial insects
and water sources.
-
Check mixture permission: Do not combine pesticides, fertilisers or adjuvants unless both current labels permit the exact crop or
site, method and partner combination. Physical compatibility or a jar test alone does not establish permission or safety.
-
Keep treatment records: Record crop or site, field or location, pest, treated area, application date and product quantity. Observe
separate harvest, worker re-entry and repeat-treatment restrictions.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is Premain Strong the same as ordinary Premain?
Do not assume so. Match Premain Strong and Chlorpyrifos 50% EC on the supplied ADAMA pack. A 20% EC
formulation, a mixture or another brand needs its own directions and cannot be substituted by bottle volume.
2. Which rice and cotton pests are covered here?
The rice pair is stem borer and leaf folder; the cotton target is bollworms. Each use still requires express
permission and complete directions on the supplied current Indian Premain Strong pack. Do not extend it to unlisted pests or
crops.
3. Can a building-termite recipe be used on a crop?
No. Building protection and crop treatments have different methods and restrictions. Establish the complete
permitted directions for the exact site; do not copy a concentration or dilution from a construction treatment into a field
application.
4. Can I use it on ber, citrus or tobacco?
No. Chlorpyrifos is prohibited for these crop uses in India. A general broad-spectrum claim or an old list
of crops does not override that restriction.
5. Does a 500 ml bottle treat a fixed area?
No. The 250 ml, 500 ml and 1 L options are pack sizes. Confirm the selected pack before ordering and obtain
the full crop- or site-specific amount, water, method, timing and restrictions before measuring.
