Hindol Insecticide by HPM (Chlorpyrifos 1.5% DP)
The ultimate dust-based solution for Paddy Stem Borers and Termite control.
Hindol (Chlorpyrifos 1.5% DP) is a powerful broad-spectrum insecticide brought to you by HPM Chemicals. Unlike liquid sprays that require water, this is a specialized Dustable Powder (DP) formulation. It is designed to be broadcasted directly over crops or soil. It is particularly famous for its ability to create a "vapor effect" that reaches pests hiding deep inside plant stems or under the soil.

Best For: Farmers dealing with Rice (Paddy) pests and persistent Termite issues in soil or building foundations.
Why Choose Hindol HPM? Key Benefits
- ⏱️Fast Knockdown Action: Starts working immediately upon contact with the insect, paralyzing their nervous system.
- ?️Triple-Action Power: Works in three ways: via Contact (touch), Stomach (ingestion), and Vapor (fumigation) to ensure no pest survives.
- ⏳Long-Lasting Soil Protection: The dust formulation binds well with soil particles, providing extended protection against termites and root pests.
- ?️Reaches Hidden Pests: Its unique "vapor action" allows the chemical to penetrate hollow stems, killing Stem Borers that liquid sprays often miss.
- ?Easy Application: Ready-to-use powder. No need to mix with water or carry heavy spray tanks. Simply dust it over the field.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Hindol works by disrupting the nervous system of the insect. It is an Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor.

- Contact Action: When an insect walks over the dust, the chemical penetrates its outer shell (cuticle), causing immediate poisoning.
- Stomach Action: When chewing pests (like caterpillars) eat leaves or roots coated with Hindol dust, the poison enters their digestive system.
- Vapor (Fumigation) Action: The dust releases strong vapors that enter the breathing tubes (spiracles) of pests hiding inside stems or soil crevices, flushing them out and killing them.
This leads to paralysis and the eventual elimination of the pest.

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) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paddy | 10 kg | N/A (Dusting) | N/A | 15-30 Days |
| Bengal Gram | 10 kg | N/A (Dusting) | N/A | 15-21 Days |
| Soil/Termites | 10 kg - 25 kg | N/A (Dusting) | N/A | - |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting. Refer to the product leaflet for crop-specific details.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply in the early morning or evening when air is calm to prevent the dust from drifting away from the crop.
- Method: Use a manual or mechanical rotary duster for even distribution over the field. For termites, mix with soil during land preparation.
- Coverage: Ensure the dust reaches the base of the plant (clumps) where Brown Plant Hoppers and Stem Borers reside.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles) to avoid inhaling the dust. Wash hands thoroughly after use.
