Product details
Profigan Plus Insecticide | Profenofos 40% + Cypermethrin 4% EC
A contact and feeding-action insecticide combination for the listed cotton bollworm use.
Crop and target: Cotton bollworm complex, subject to the supplied Indian
label.
How insects encounter it: Contact with the treatment and ingestion while feeding
are the two described routes of insecticidal action.
Exact formulation: This is the 40% + 4% EC combination, not an EW formulation or a
single-ingredient profenofos product.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
-
🎯 Contact activity: Acts when susceptible
insects encounter the treatment; correct crop coverage remains important.
-
🐛 Feeding activity: Stomach action
contributes when susceptible insects ingest the active ingredients while feeding.
-
🧪 Ready-formulated combination: Profenofos
and cypermethrin are supplied together in one EC product, without requiring a homemade blend of separate formulations.

How It Works: Mode of Action
-
The insect contacts or ingests the treatment: The combination acts through contact and feeding exposure in susceptible insects.
-
Profenofos interrupts normal nerve signalling: The Group 1B ingredient inhibits acetylcholinesterase, allowing acetylcholine to
accumulate and overstimulate nerve cells.
-
Cypermethrin alters sodium-channel activity: The Group 3A ingredient keeps sodium channels open, causing excessive nerve activity
and, in some cases, nerve block.
Two ingredients do not guarantee control of resistant insects or eliminate the need for correct timing and
coverage. Account for both Groups 1B and 3A when planning effective, label-permitted alternatives; changing brand names alone may not
change the mode of action.
Cotton & Bollworm Use
| Crop |
Target pests |
|---|---|
| Cotton |
Bollworm complex |
Use this cotton match only where permitted by the supplied Indian Profigan Plus EC label. Do not transfer rice
directions from a similarly composed EW product, or assume that every cotton sucking pest is included.
Dosage & Application Guide
Set the cotton bollworm treatment before mixing
Confirm the identified bollworm problem, product amount, water and coverage, application method, first
treatment timing and harvest restriction together. Contact and feeding activity do not specify a first-spray date, nozzle or
crop-stage trigger.
Do not use another concentration or formulation to supply missing directions. Tank capacity alone does not
establish the area covered or a product recipe. 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 pest: Check that the problem is the permitted cotton bollworm use before choosing the treatment.
-
Check EC identity: Read both active ingredients and their 40% + 4% strengths on the product pack; do not substitute an EW or
single-ingredient formulation.
-
Establish the first treatment: Use the crop–pest timing and method on the supplied label rather than assuming an automatic
first-symptom or preventive schedule.
-
Measure and apply carefully: Use the complete label-directed amount, water, equipment, mixing sequence and protective clothing.
Follow weather precautions and avoid drift and runoff.
-
Plan later decisions separately: Record the treatment and respect harvest and worker-entry requirements. Account for both IRAC
groups before any label-permitted repeat.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the listed crop–pest match?
Cotton and the bollworm complex, subject to the current Indian Profigan Plus label. This is not a blanket
claim for every cotton insect.
2. What does stomach action mean?
It is insecticidal action after a susceptible insect ingests the treatment while feeding. It does not
describe a human-use route or change handling precautions.
3. Can I use rice directions for profenofos 40% + cypermethrin 4% EW?
No. EC and EW are different formulations. Use the exact Indian Profigan Plus EC directions.
4. Can I calculate a pump quantity from bottle size?
No. The correct product amount depends on the permitted crop rate and the calibrated treated area, water and
coverage, not the size of the bottle or pump alone.
5. Can another pesticide or nutrient be added?
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.
Safety & Disclaimer
Before you use it: Read the supplied Indian label and leaflet before opening the pack. Use only its
permitted crop, target and application method. Wear the specified protective clothing and equipment. Avoid skin and eye contact,
inhalation and drift. Keep children, unprotected people and animals away during handling and application. Do not eat, drink or
smoke while handling or applying the product. Wash thoroughly after work.
Store securely in the original labelled container, away from children, food, animal feed and water. Keep
product, drift, runoff, leftovers and equipment washings out of water sources and away from non-target areas. Follow the pack’s
weather precautions, equipment-cleaning instructions, beneficial-organism precautions and disposal directions. Never reuse empty
pesticide containers.
If accidental exposure or suspected poisoning occurs, stop work and seek medical help promptly with the
product pack or label. Do not self-administer antidotes, attempt home remedies or improvise treatment. Follow the supplied
first-aid directions while obtaining professional help.
