HPM Sena Insecticide (Imidacloprid 0.3% GR)
The Ultimate Systemic Defense Against Stem Borers and Sucking Pests.
HPM Sena is a high-performance, granular insecticide designed to protect your crops from the inside out. Powered by Imidacloprid 0.3% GR, it provides a "full-plant shield" against hidden enemies like the Yellow Stem Borer in paddy and termites in soil. Unlike sprays that can wash away, Sena is absorbed by the roots and travels through the plant, making every leaf and stem poisonous to pests.
Perfect for: Paddy (Rice), Cotton, Wheat, Maize, and Vegetable crops facing borer or sucking pest attacks.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ⏱️Long-Lasting Systemic Action: Once applied to the soil, the plant roots drink up the medicine. It stays active inside the plant system for weeks, killing pests that try to eat the stem or leaves.
- ?️Controls Hidden Pests: Excellent for pests like Stem Borers that hide inside the plant stem where normal sprays cannot reach.
- ⏳Labor Saving Application: No need for heavy spray pumps. Being a granule, it can be easily broadcasted (scattered) by hand, saving you money on labor.
- ?️Rain & Weather Proof: Since the medicine is absorbed inside the plant, it does not get washed away by rain, ensuring your investment is safe even in monsoon season.
- ?Root Health & Greenery: Beyond killing pests, it helps improve crop greenness (phytotonic effect) and protects roots from termites.

How It Works: Mode of Action
HPM Sena works on the Central Nervous System (CNS) of insects. Here is the step-by-step process:
- Absorption & Transport: When broadcasted in the field (especially in standing water), the granules dissolve. The active ingredient is absorbed by the roots and moves up through the stem to the leaves.
- Feeding Stoppage: When a pest (like a stem borer or aphid) feeds on the plant sap or tissue, they ingest the chemical.
- Nervous Failure: The chemical binds to specific receptors in the insect's nerves, causing continuous excitement, paralysis, and finally, the death of the pest.
Because it attacks a specific part of the insect nerve, it is effective even against pests that have developed resistance to older chemicals like organophosphates.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|

| Sugarcane, Maize, Wheat | Termites, Early Shoot Borer |
Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results.
Dosage per Acre, Application Method & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (Kg / Acre) | Water Condition | Method | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paddy (Rice) | 6 kg | Standing Water | Broadcast | 26 Days |
| Cotton / Vegetables | 6 kg - 8 kg | Moist Soil | Soil App. | 21-25 Days |
| Sugarcane | 7 kg - 8 kg | Moist Soil | Soil App. | 45 Days |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last application and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: For Paddy, apply 15-30 days after transplanting or when you first notice the Stem Borer. For termites, apply during soil preparation.
- Mixing: Mix the 6kg of granules with 20-25 kg of sand or fertilizer (like Urea) to ensure uniform spreading across the whole field.
- Coverage (Paddy): Maintain 2-3 inches of standing water in the field for 3-4 days after application. This helps the granule dissolve and reach the roots quickly.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Avoid mixing with alkaline substances (like Lime or Bordeaux mixture). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does HPM Sena kill termites?
Yes, it is highly effective against termites (white ants) when applied directly to the soil.
2. Can I mix Sena with Urea?
Yes, HPM Sena is compatible with most fertilizers, including Urea. Mixing it helps in easier broadcasting.
3. What happens if it rains after application?
Once the product dissolves and enters the plant roots (which happens quickly in moist soil), it is rainfast. Rain will not wash away the protection inside the plant.
4. Does it control mites?
No, HPM Sena is an insecticide, not an acaricide. For Red Spider Mites, you should use a specific mite controller like HPM Propargite.
5. What is the waiting period for Paddy?
The Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI) is 26 days. Do not harvest the crop within 26 days of the last application.
