Product details
Terminator-505 Insecticide by HPM
A non-systemic combination insecticide for HPM’s listed cotton pests. Its two active ingredients affect different parts of insect nerve signalling.
Composition: Chlorpyrifos 50% + Cypermethrin 5% EC.
Crop fit: Cotton. Keep each target with its listed crop.
Before treatment: Check the current crop-specific rate, method, water and harvest directions.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- 🌿Crop-specific focus: HPM’s crop table identifies cotton and the listed pest group.
- 🎯Contact activity: Susceptible insects can be exposed when they contact treated surfaces.
- 🍃Feeding exposure: Stomach action contributes when susceptible pests feed on treated material.
- 🧠Nerve action: Chlorpyrifos interferes with the enzyme that helps end insect nerve signals.
- 🔄Resistance-group clarity: The two ingredients belong to Groups 1B and 3A; account for both when planning rotation.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Chlorpyrifos inhibits acetylcholinesterase, the enzyme that normally helps end nerve signals. Cypermethrin also alters sodium-channel activity in insect nerves.
- Pest exposure: Contact and feeding bring susceptible insects into contact with the active ingredients.
- Enzyme inhibition: Chlorpyrifos prevents acetylcholinesterase from working normally, so nerve signals are not ended correctly.
- Nerve disruption: Cypermethrin modifies sodium-channel function, adding a second nerve target.
A different brand name does not necessarily mean a different mode of action. Follow the crop label and a suitable resistance-management programme; do not rely repeatedly on the same group alone.
Target Crops & Pests
HPM identifies these crop-and-target pairings. Check that the current supplied label includes your intended use.
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Cotton |
|
Use only the specific crop, target and site shown on the current label. Do not use chlorpyrifos on ber, citrus or tobacco. State restrictions may also apply; in Kerala, confirm the applicable 2015 restrictions before sale or use.
Dosage & Application Guide
HPM’s published quantities are shown below. Confirm the complete crop programme on the current pack before applying.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop / use | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water entry (L)* | Per litre | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cotton | 400 | 200–400 | Not specified | 15 |
Use the crop-specific product quantity, water and harvest interval together. PHI is the minimum interval between the final treatment and harvest.
HPM pairs these litre entries with its acre product dose; confirm the full water basis on the supplied pack. No universal per-litre or tank recipe is inferred.
Confirm crop-stage timing, repeat interval, maximum applications, re-entry, rainfast period and equipment on the supplied label. Do not infer these from a general product description.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Match the target: Identify the crop and problem and check that the supplied label covers the intended treatment.
- Follow the application method: Use the mixing, timing, equipment and coverage directions on the current product label.
- Check mixtures separately: No universal tank-mix recommendation is made. Use another product or adjuvant only when the relevant labels permit it.
- Protect people, bees and water: Follow pack protective equipment, entry and harvest restrictions. Prevent exposure of bees and keep drift, spills and washings away from ponds and other water.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Terminator-505 contain?Chlorpyrifos 50% plus cypermethrin 5% in an emulsifiable concentrate.
Which crop is specifically listed by HPM?Cotton, with the eight pest targets listed above. Do not import rice or pulse programmes from a different brand or a retail listing.
What is the published cotton quantity?HPM lists 400 ml/acre, paired with a 200–400-litre water entry whose full basis must be confirmed on the supplied label.
What is the cotton harvest interval?HPM lists 15 days between the final treatment and harvest. Follow any more restrictive current label requirement.
Does changing from another 1B or 3A product provide a complete rotation?Not necessarily. This mixture contains both groups, so a resistance plan must account for both rather than relying on a different brand name.
