Product details
Roket Insecticide by PI Industries
A two-active, non-systemic insecticide for the cotton bollworm complex. It acts through contact and feeding exposure, with two different nerve-system targets.
Composition: Profenofos 40% + cypermethrin 4% EC.
Crop fit: Cotton: bollworm complex.
Application planning: Confirm spray-water volume and all current label limits before treatment.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
-
🎯Cotton-specific fit: The manufacturer programme identifies the bollworm complex rather than an unrestricted all-crop use.
-
🛡️Contact action: Susceptible pests are exposed when they contact the treatment.
-
🍃Feeding exposure: Stomach activity provides another route of insect exposure.
-
🔬Two nerve targets: Profenofos and cypermethrin act at different sites in the insect nervous system.
-
🧴Premixed formulation: Both active ingredients are supplied in one EC product; it is not an instruction to mix separate insecticides.

The current PI page identifies a yellow triangle, Highly toxic, with the cautionary word Poison. Follow the warning panel and protective-equipment directions on the supplied pack. |
How It Works: Mode of Action
Profenofos inhibits acetylcholinesterase, while cypermethrin modifies sodium-channel activity. These different mechanisms disturb normal insect nerve function.
-
Exposure occurs: Pests contact treated surfaces or feed on treated material.
-
Nerve signalling is disturbed: Profenofos affects acetylcholine breakdown and cypermethrin alters sodium-channel function.
-
Normal activity fails: Disrupted nerve impulses interfere with movement and other vital functions in susceptible insects.
Use mode-of-action groups, not brand names alone, when planning a suitable resistance-management programme. Follow the current label and local agronomic guidance.

Dosage & Application Guide
The first-treatment programme below follows PI Industries’ current brand page for cotton bollworm complex at the economic threshold. Water is variable with the spray pump and crop growth, not a fixed litre quantity. Confirm the supplied-pack directions and calibrate for the area and coverage; this does not clear a repeat-treatment programme.

PI’s original cotton rate is 1,000–1,500 ml/ha. Multiplying by 0.40468564224 gives 404.69–607.03 ml/acre; the table rounds this reference to approximately 405–607 ml/acre.
*PI lists a 14-day cotton pre-harvest interval. The manufacturer expressly makes water dilution dependent on the spray pump and crop growth, and product-rate selection within the stated range dependent on pest intensity and crop growth. Calibrate for the treated area and coverage under the supplied label; no fixed water volume, independent per-litre rate or universal tank dose is inferred.
Do not infer tank quantities, extra crops, repeat applications or maximum treatment counts from this summary. Repeat scheduling, maximum applications and re-entry conditions remain to be confirmed on the supplied current label; the first-treatment guidance does not clear them.
How to Apply: Best Practices
-
Scout first: PI advises starting when pest infestation reaches the economic threshold; identify the cotton pest before selecting treatment.
-
Use the spray route: Apply with calibrated equipment as directed by the current cotton label. Select water for the spray pump, crop growth and required coverage; select the product rate within the stated range according to pest intensity and crop growth under that label. Do not treat the EC as an undiluted ready-to-spray liquid.
-
Cover without drift: Keep application off neighbouring crops and do not spray against the wind.
-
Plan harvest and repeats: Observe the label’s harvest interval and treatment limits. Do not use a calendar-only repeat schedule.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Roket contain?
Profenofos 40% and cypermethrin 4%, formulated as an emulsifiable concentrate.
Which crop and pest are covered here?
Cotton and the bollworm complex, as listed by PI Industries. General chewing- or sucking-pest descriptions do not extend this crop-specific scope.
What is the acre reference?
PI publishes 1,000–1,500 ml/ha, equivalent to approximately 405–607 ml/acre. Select the actual rate only under the current label directions.
Can I calculate a per-litre dose from this table?
No universal per-litre dose follows from this table. The manufacturer specifies variable water according to the spray pump and crop growth, so calibrate the actual crop application under the supplied label rather than assuming fixed litres.
Is Roket systemic or ready to spray undiluted?
It is non-systemic and has contact and stomach action. The premixed EC formulation still requires label-directed dilution; it is not an undiluted ready-to-spray product.
