Product details
Premain Super Insecticide | Chlorpyrifos 50% + Cypermethrin 5% EC
A ready-formulated insecticide combination for the listed cotton and rice pest uses.
Cotton focus: Listed sucking pests, tobacco caterpillar and
bollworms.
Rice focus: Stem borer and leaf folder, subject to the supplied crop
directions.
Check the variant: Premain Super is not Premain 20% EC or Premain Strong. Do not
interchange their quantities or instructions.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
-
🌱 Several cotton pest uses: The combination
has listed uses against aphids, jassids, thrips, whitefly, tobacco caterpillar and specified bollworms in cotton.
-
🌾 Rice pest control: Stem borer and leaf
folder are the rice targets, rather than every insect found in a paddy field.
-
🧪 Ready-formulated combination: Both active
ingredients are supplied together. This is not an instruction to recreate the formulation by mixing separate products.

How It Works: Mode of Action
-
Chlorpyrifos interrupts nerve-signal clearing: The Group 1B component inhibits acetylcholinesterase, allowing the nerve-signalling
chemical acetylcholine to accumulate.
-
Cypermethrin disrupts nerve transmission: The Group 3A component keeps sodium channels open, causing excessive nerve activity and,
in some cases, nerve block.
-
Abnormal nerve activity affects susceptible insects: These effects interfere with normal nerve function and contribute to insect
control. They do not establish a fixed kill time or guarantee control of a resistant population.
The two ingredients do not remove resistance risk. Repeating another Group 1B or 3A product is not
automatically a different mode of action. Choose effective, label-permitted alternatives within an appropriate pest-management
programme.

Dosage & Application Guide
Confirm the complete cotton or rice programme
Before mixing, obtain the exact crop–pest product amount, water or coverage requirement, application method,
first treatment timing and harvest restriction together. Do not borrow a rice quantity from cotton or combine directions for another
Premain variant.
Do not treat hectare and acre quantities as interchangeable, select a conflicting quantity by guesswork or
calculate a pump recipe from pack size. A pre-harvest interval is the minimum time from the final treatment to harvest. A missing
interval is not a zero-day interval. Harvest restrictions, worker re-entry periods and repeat-treatment intervals are separate
requirements.
How to Apply: Best Practices
-
Identify the crop and insect: Distinguish the listed cotton sucking pests and caterpillars from the separate rice stem-borer and
leaf-folder uses.
-
Match the exact formulation: Check both active ingredients and strengths on the Premain Super pack before selecting directions.
-
Establish when and how to apply: Use the crop–pest first-treatment stage and application method on the supplied label. The
ingredient combination does not establish an automatic preventive or first-symptom trigger.
-
Prepare safely: Use the specified protective equipment, product quantity, water and mixing sequence. Follow weather precautions and
prevent drift and runoff.
-
Record and reassess: Keep the treatment date and amount, account for both IRAC groups, and follow the separate repeat, re-entry and
harvest requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is Premain Super the same as Premain 20% EC?
No. Premain Super contains chlorpyrifos 50% plus cypermethrin 5% EC. Different Premain variants are not
interchangeable.
2. Does it cover every cotton or rice insect?
No. Match the identified pest to the permitted crop use. The cotton pest list does not expand the two rice
targets.
3. Can I mix separate chlorpyrifos and cypermethrin products instead?
No. A ready-formulated combination is not a do-it-yourself tank-mix recipe.
4. Can I apply it to ber, citrus or tobacco?
No. Do not use it on these crops.
5. Can I combine it with another product?
Only when both current product labels permit the proposed combination for the crop and application method.
Physical mixability does not establish crop safety or permission to add another pesticide, fertilizer or adjuvant.
