Hibiki Insecticide (Chlorpyrifos 50% EC) – IFFCO-MC
High-Potency Protection Against Bollworms, Stem Borers, and Termites.
Hibiki (Chlorpyrifos 50% EC) is a powerful, broad-spectrum insecticide brought to you by the trusted experts at IFFCO-MC. Designed for modern Indian agriculture, this high-concentration formulation offers superior control over tough chewing and sucking pests. Whether you are battling the Bollworm complex in cotton, Stem Borers in paddy, or subterranean Termites in soil, Hibiki delivers a lethal double-punch through contact and stomach action.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Hibiki attacks the insect's central nervous system. It acts as an Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor.
- Entry: The chemical enters the pest through direct contact with the spray or by ingestion of treated leaves.
- Blockage: It binds to the AChE enzyme, which is responsible for calming nerve signals.
- Paralysis: This causes a "synaptic storm" (continuous firing of nerves), leading to paralysis and rapid death of the pest.
*Effective on both larval stages and adult insects.

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 (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cotton | 400 - 480 ml | 200 - 400 L | 2 - 2.4 ml | 30 Days |
| Rice (Paddy) | 300 - 320 ml | 200 - 240 L | 1.5 - 1.6 ml | 15 Days |
| Termite Control | See Label | Soil Soak | 5 - 10 ml | N/A |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply when pest population reaches the Economic Threshold Level (e.g., 5% dead hearts in rice). Do not spray during peak bee activity (morning).
- Mixing: Fill the spray tank halfway with water, add the required dose of Hibiki, and stir well. Top up with remaining water. Use the solution immediately.
- Coverage: Ensure thorough coverage of the foliage, especially the undersides of leaves where aphids hide. For stem borers, direct spray toward the base of the plant.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Do not inhale the mist.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the difference between Chlorpyrifos 50% and 20%?
Hibiki (50% EC) is more concentrated, meaning you need significantly less chemical per liter of water compared to the 20% version. It is more cost-effective for large areas.
2. Can I use Hibiki for termite control in my house?
Yes, Chlorpyrifos is an industry standard for anti-termite treatment (ATT). It binds to the soil and creates a long-lasting barrier that kills termites on contact.
3. Is Hibiki safe for vegetables?
Hibiki is a potent chemical. Use it on vegetables only if explicitly mentioned on the label, and strictly adhere to the waiting period (PHI) before harvesting to avoid residue issues.
4. Does it kill eggs of the pests?
Yes, Hibiki has ovicidal properties, meaning it can destroy the eggs of certain pests like bollworms upon contact, helping break the reproductive cycle.
5. Can I mix Hibiki with other pesticides?
Generally, yes, but avoid mixing with highly alkaline substances (like Bordeaux mixture) as this degrades the chemical. Always perform a small jar test first.
