Sumo Insecticide (Carbofuran 3% G) – Complete Pest & Nematode Control

The "Tractor Brand" champion for protecting Paddy, Maize, and Sugarcane from hidden soil pests.

Sumo (Carbofuran 3% CG) by Insecticides (India) Ltd is a powerful, broad-spectrum solution designed for modern Indian farming. It acts as both an insecticide and a nematicide, offering dual protection against root-damaging worms and stem-boring insects.

Unlike older dust formulations, Sumo uses advanced Encapsulated Granule (CG) technology. This ensures the chemical releases slowly over time, providing long-lasting safety for your crop and reduced risk for the applicator.

Why farmers choose itWhy Choose This Product? Key Benefits
  • ⏱️ Long-Lasting Protection: The encapsulated granules release slowly, protecting crops for 30 to 40 days during the critical vegetative stage.
  • ?️ Dual Action Power: It is one of the few products that kills both insects (Stem Borer, Shoot Fly) and harmful Nematodes (root worms) simultaneously.
  • ⏳ Systemic Action: Absorbed by the roots and moves up the plant, killing hidden pests inside the stem that sprays cannot reach.
  • ?️ Safety & Stability: Encapsulation technology minimizes dust, making it safer to handle and resistant to UV degradation.
  • ? Greening Effect: Promotes healthy root growth by eliminating nematodes, leading to greener plants and better nutrient uptake (Phytotonic effect).

Product scienceHow It Works: Mode of Action

Sumo targets the pest's nervous system by inhibiting the enzyme Cholinesterase. It enters the pest through three powerful pathways:

  1. Systemic Action: Dissolves in soil water, enters the roots, and travels up the stem. Larvae feeding inside the stem die instantly.
  2. Contact Action: Soil pests like termites and white grubs die when they physically touch the granules or treated soil.
  3. Stomach Action: Pests that ingest the granules or contaminated organic matter are poisoned from within.

Note: The effect is rapid and prevents insects from feeding almost immediately.

How to applyDosage & Application Guide

The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results. Sumo is a granule, so water dilution is not required for mixing, only for field activation.

How to applyDosage per Acre & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
CropDose (kg / Acre)Water ApplicationMethodPHI (Days)

*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting. Note: Headers adapted for Granular (kg) application accuracy.

Useful detailsHow to Apply: Best Practices
  • Timing: For Paddy, apply 15-30 days after transplanting. For Maize, apply at sowing or in leaf whorls.
  • Mixing: Sumo can be mixed with sand or fertilizer for uniform distribution. Do not mix with alkaline materials (like Lime).
  • Coverage: Ensure the field has standing water (Paddy) or sufficient moisture (other crops) to dissolve the granules into the root zone.
  • Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). This is a red-label product; do not touch granules with bare hands. Wash hands thoroughly after use.
