Centran (Chlorantraniliprole 0.35% + Fipronil 0.35% GR)
The Ultimate "Maharatna" Protection for High-Yielding Paddy
Centran is a revolutionary granular insecticide brought to you by Insecticides (India) Limited (IIL). Designed specifically for the modern Indian rice farmer, it combines two powerful active ingredients to solve your biggest problem: the Stem Borer and Leaf Folder complex.
Unlike traditional sprays that require heavy labor and weather watching, Centran is an easy-to-broadcast granule. It provides a "double-engine" defense mechanism that stops pests instantly while boosting your crop's root health and greenery.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ⏱️Stops Damage Instantly:
Unlike older poisons that take time to work, Centran causes immediate muscle paralysis in caterpillars. They stop feeding within minutes, preventing "Dead Hearts." - ?️Dual-Action Power:
It works in two ways: systemic action inside the plant to kill borers, and contact action in the soil to control termites and root weevils. - ⏳Long-Lasting Protection:
Applied once during the critical tillering stage (15-30 days), it protects the crop for weeks, saving you the cost of repeat sprays. - ?️Labor Saving Granules:
No need for knapsack sprayers or water tankers. Simply mix with sand or fertilizer and broadcast it manually. - ?Phytotonic "Green" Effect:
Farmers report visibly greener crops and stronger root systems (the "Green Effect"), leading to more productive tillers and higher yields.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Centran uses a unique synergistic formula to ensure no pest survives. It attacks the insect on two fronts:
- Muscle Paralysis (Chlorantraniliprole): It targets the Ryanodine Receptors in the insect's muscles. This causes an uncontrolled release of calcium, making the muscles lock up. The pest is paralyzed and cannot eat.
- Nervous System Failure (Fipronil): It blocks the GABA-gated chloride channels in the central nervous system. This causes hyperexcitation of the nerves, leading to the rapid death of the insect.
- Systemic Absorption: When applied to the soil, the roots absorb the medicine and transport it up the stem. This creates a protective shield inside the plant, killing borers hidden deep inside the stem.
This combination helps manage resistance, meaning even pests that have survived other chemicals will likely be controlled by Centran.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Paddy (Rice) | Yellow Stem Borer (Scirpophaga incertulas) |
| Paddy (Rice) | Rice Leaf Folder (Cnaphalocrocis medinalis) |
| Soil Protection | Termites & Root Weevils (Secondary control) |
Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (kg / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Application Mode | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paddy | 4 kg | Keep Standing Water | Broadcast | Refer to Label |
| Sugarcane (Label Extension Potential) | 7.5 - 10 kg | Soil Drench/Wet | Soil Application | Refer to Label |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply between 15 to 30 days after transplanting (DAT). This protects the crop during the critical tillering stage when "Dead Heart" damage is most likely.
- Mixing: Centran granules can be easily mixed with Sand, Urea, or other basal fertilizers for easier broadcasting.
- Coverage: Maintain 2-3 inches of standing water in the field for 3 to 5 days after application. This helps the granules dissolve and the plant roots to absorb the medicine.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Do not drain the water immediately into fish ponds as it is toxic to aquatic life.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I use Centran if I have fish in my rice field?
No. Centran contains Fipronil, which is highly toxic to fish. It is strictly recommended NOT to use this product in rice-fish farming systems.
2. Does Centran control termites?
Yes. The Fipronil component in Centran is excellent for controlling soil pests like termites and root weevils, protecting the root system.
3. Can I mix Centran with Urea?
Yes, Centran is generally compatible with Urea and can be mixed immediately before broadcasting to save labor time.
4. Why is broadcasting granules better than spraying?
Broadcasting saves significant labor costs, ensures the medicine reaches the root zone (where it is absorbed), and prevents the medicine from washing away during rains compared to foliar sprays.
5. What is the ideal time to apply Centran?
For best results, apply it at the early tillering stage (15-30 days after transplanting). This prevents the stem borer from causing "Dead Hearts" and killing the tillers.
