HPM Hitatox 10G Insecticide (Chlorpyrifos 10% GR)
The Ultimate Granular Solution for Stem Borers, Termites, and Soil Pests
HPM Hitatox 10G is a powerful granular insecticide designed for easy application in paddy fields and soil. Powered by Chlorpyrifos 10% GR, it provides broad-spectrum control against tough pests that hide inside plant stems or underground. Unlike sprays that wash away, these granules sink to the soil or water base, creating a toxic zone that effectively eliminates Stem Borers, Leaf Folders, and Termites.

Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ⏱️Triple Action Power:
Kills pests via Contact (touch), Stomach (eating), and Vapor (fumes) action for complete control. - ?️Controls Hidden Pests:
The fumigant (vapor) action penetrates inside stems and folded leaves to kill pests like Stem Borers that sprays can't reach. - ⏳Long-Lasting Protection:
The granular formula releases slowly, offering residual protection in the soil for weeks. - ?️Perfect for Paddy:
Designed specifically for wet environments; granules sink to the bottom of the water to protect the plant base. - ?Effective Soil Sterilant:
Excellent for killing subterranean enemies like Termites and White Grubs in Sugarcane and Groundnut.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Hitatox 10G works by attacking the nervous system of the insect. It is an Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor.
[Image of acetylcholinesterase inhibition mechanism]- Entry: The pest comes into contact with the granule in soil/water or inhales the vapors rising from the field.
- Inhibition: The chemical blocks the AChE enzyme, which is responsible for relaxing muscles.
- Termination: This causes continuous nerve firing, leading to tremors, paralysis, and the eventual death of the pest.
Note: Because it releases vapors, it can kill pests hiding inside the stem without needing to touch them directly.
Target Crops & Pests

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) | Application Method | Water Depth | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paddy (Rice) | 4 kg | Broadcast in field | 2-3 cm standing water | 30 Days |
| Sugarcane | 6 - 8 kg | Soil Application (Furrow) | Moist soil required | N/A |
| Groundnut / Veg | 4 - 6 kg | Soil Incorporation | Moist soil required | 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: For Paddy, apply 15-30 days after transplanting (DAT) for best results against Stem Borer.
- Mixing: Since the dose is small (4kg), mix granules with 10-20kg of sand or dry fertilizer for uniform broadcasting.
- Coverage: Ensure the field has 2-3 cm of standing water and hold it for 2-3 days so the chemical releases effectively.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Do not apply with bare hands.
