Incipio® Insecticide (Isocycloseram): Complete Guide, Price & Dosage
Are you struggling with Stem Borers or Leaf Folders that survive your usual sprays?
Indian agriculture is facing a "resistance crisis." Pests like the Yellow Stem Borer have adapted to older chemicals. Syngenta Incipio® is the solution. It introduces a brand new molecule, Isocycloseram (PLINAZOLIN® technology), designed specifically to kill resistant pests in Rice and Maize.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ⏱️Long-Lasting Control: Provides up to 21 days of protection, saving you labor costs on frequent spraying.
- ?️Resistance Breaker: Works on pests that have developed resistance to Diamides and other older chemicals.
- ⏳Instant Stop-Feed: Pests stop eating your crop within hours of contact, preventing "Dead Hearts" in rice.
- ?️Rainfastness: Once dried on the leaf (approx. 1-2 hours), it remains effective even if it rains.
- ?Better Safety: Marked with a Blue Triangle, it is safer for the applicator compared to Red/Yellow triangle products.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Incipio works differently than previous insecticides. It targets the insect's nervous system with high precision.
- Unique Binding: It binds to a specific site on the insect's GABA receptor (different from Fipronil).
- System Crash: It cuts the "brakes" of the nervous system, causing uncontrollable hyperexcitation.
- Rapid Control: The pest becomes paralyzed, stops feeding immediately, and dies.

| Maize (Corn) | Fall Armyworm (FAW), Stem Borer |
Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results. Do not under-dose water.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rice | 120 ml | 150 - 200 L | 0.6 - 0.8 ml | 21 Days |
| Maize | 120 ml | 150 - 200 L | 0.6 - 0.8 ml | ~20 Days |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing (Rice): Best applied between 15 to 25 Days After Transplanting (DAT) for maximum effect against early Stem Borer broods.
- Mixing: Use clear water. Ensure you use at least 150 liters of water per acre to penetrate the dense crop canopy.
- Coverage: Use a Hollow Cone or Flood Jet nozzle to create a fine mist. Thorough coverage of the leaf is critical.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the price of Incipio Insecticide?
The approximate market price is ₹1,400 to ₹1,550 for a 120ml bottle (1 Acre dose). While it is a premium product, it saves money by preventing yield loss.
2. Can I use Incipio if it might rain?
Yes, Incipio has excellent rainfastness. Once the spray has completely dried on the leaf (typically 1 to 2 hours), a subsequent rain will not wash it off.
3. How is Incipio different from Coragen?
Coragen is a Diamide (Group 28). Incipio is an Isoxazoline (Group 30). If pests in your area are resistant to Coragen (Diamides), Incipio is the best alternative to break that resistance.
4. Can I mix Incipio with fungicides?
Incipio is a Suspension Concentrate (SC) and is generally compatible with most common fungicides used for Sheath Blight or Blast. However, a physical compatibility test is always recommended.
5. How many times can I spray it?
To prevent resistance, do not spray Incipio more than two times per crop season. Always rotate with a different mode of action for the next spray.
