Isogashi Insecticide (Imidacloprid 17.8% SL) – Expert Sucking Pest Control
A powerful systemic solution by IFFCO-MC, combining Japanese technology with Indian cooperative trust to protect Cotton, Paddy, and Vegetables.
Isogashi (Imidacloprid 17.8% SL) is a broad-spectrum insecticide designed to effectively control the "sucking pest complex." Developed through a joint venture between IFFCO and Mitsubishi Corporation, it offers a "False Key" mechanism that targets the pest's nervous system. It provides rapid knockdown action and long-lasting protection for crops like Cotton, Paddy, Sugarcane, and Mango, making it a cost-effective choice for Indian farmers.
Best For: Controlling Aphids, Jassids, Thrips, Whiteflies, Brown Plant Hoppers (BPH), and Termites.
Why Choose Isogashi? Key Benefits
- ⏱️Quick Knockdown Action: Immediately stops pests from feeding, preventing viral transmission and further crop damage.
- ?️Systemic Protection: Moves upward (acropetal) and through the leaf (translaminar) to kill hidden pests on the underside of leaves.
- ⏳Long-Lasting Residue: Provides extended protection for 7 to 21 days, reducing the need for frequent sprays.
- ?️Rainfast & Efficient: Absorbs quickly into the plant system, making it resistant to being washed off by light rain.
- ?Stress Shield (Phyto-tonic): Helps crops stay greener and more vigorous, enhancing yield potential even under stress.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Isogashi works on the central nervous system of insects. It acts as a "False Key" in the pest's nervous system.
- Absorption: Upon spraying, the liquid is rapidly absorbed by leaves or roots and spreads throughout the plant via the xylem (water vessels).
- Binding: When the pest sucks the sap, the chemical enters its body and binds to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR).
- Paralysis: It over-stimulates the nerves, causing uncontrollable tremors and paralysis, leading to the pest's death.
Note: The enzymes in the insect cannot break this "false key," ensuring effective control.
Target Crops & Pests

|---|---|
| Cotton | Aphid, Jassid, Thrips, Whitefly |
| Paddy (Rice) | Brown Plant Hopper (BPH), White Backed Plant Hopper (WBPH), Green Leaf Hopper (GLH) |
| Chilli, Tomato, Okra | Thrips, Aphids, Whitefly, Jassid |
| Sugarcane | Termites |
| Mango | Hoppers |
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 | 40 - 50 ml | 200 - 280 L | 0.2 - 0.25 ml | 40 |
| Paddy | 40 - 50 ml | 200 - 280 L | 0.2 - 0.25 ml | 40 |
| Chilli | 50 - 100 ml | 200 - 280 L | 0.3 - 0.5 ml | 40 |
| Tomato / Okra | 40 - 100 ml | 200 L | 0.2 - 0.5 ml | 3 |
| Sugarcane | 140 ml | 750 L | ~ 0.2 ml | 45 |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting. *For Mango: Use 2-4ml per tree in 10L water.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply when pests reach the Economic Threshold Level (ETL). Avoid spraying during the active flowering period to protect honey bees.
- Mixing: Compatible with common fungicides like Mancozeb and Carbendazim. Always conduct a physical compatibility test before tank mixing.
- Coverage: For Paddy, direct the spray towards the base of the plant (stems) where hoppers reside. For other crops, ensure uniform foliage coverage.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Do not use near water bodies.
