Jashan Super Insecticide (Profenofos 40% + Cypermethrin 4% EC)
The "Double Engine" Protection by Rallis India (Tata Enterprise) against tough worms and sucking pests.
Jashan Super (often called the "404" formula) is a powerful broad-spectrum insecticide designed to tackle mixed pest infestations. By combining the deep-reaching power of Profenofos with the instant shock effect of Cypermethrin, it provides a cost-effective solution for Cotton, Paddy, and Vegetable farmers. It effectively controls caterpillars, sucking pests, and mites in a single spray.
Best For: Farmers facing heavy attacks of Bollworms, Stem Borers, and Leaf Folders along with sucking pests like Aphids and Thrips.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ⏱️Rapid Knockdown Action: Stops pests from feeding within minutes of contact, preventing further crop damage immediately.
- ?️Broad Spectrum Control: One spray handles multiple problems: it kills chewing caterpillars (worms), sucking pests, and even mites (acaricidal action).
- ⏳Translaminar Penetration: The medicine penetrates the leaf tissue to reach and kill pests hiding on the underside of leaves (like Aphids and Whiteflies).
- ?️Rainfast Reliability: Once dry (approx. 2-3 hours), the formulation sticks to the plant and remains effective even if it rains.
- ?Ovicidal (Egg Killing) Power: Destroys pest eggs before they hatch, breaking the reproductive cycle of hard-to-control pests like Helicoverpa.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Jashan Super utilizes a synergistic "Double Engine" approach to kill pests that may be resistant to single chemicals:
- Nervous System Overload (Cypermethrin): Upon contact, it keeps the insect's sodium channels open, causing immediate paralysis, shock, and knockdown.
- Enzyme Inhibition (Profenofos): It blocks the Acetylcholinesterase enzyme, causing a secondary failure of the nervous system and ensuring the pest dies.
- Stomach & Contact Poison: Pests are killed if they touch the spray or eat a treated leaf. The translaminar action ensures even hidden pests are reached.
This dual action delays resistance build-up, making it highly effective for "clean-up" sprays.

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 | 400 - 600 ml | 150 - 200 L | 2 - 2.5 ml | 14 Days |
| Paddy (Rice) | 400 - 500 ml | 150 L | 2.5 - 3 ml | 14 Days |
| Vegetables | 350 - 400 ml | 150 - 200 L | 2 ml | 7 - 10 Days |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply at the first sign of egg masses or when early instar larvae (caterpillars) are spotted. Best sprayed in the early morning or late evening.
- Mixing: Add the required quantity of Jashan Super to a bucket of water, stir well, and then add to the spray tank.
- Coverage: Use a Hollow Cone Nozzle to create a fine mist. This ensures the chemical penetrates the canopy and reaches the underside of leaves.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Avoid spraying during active bee foraging hours.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does Jashan Super control mites?
Yes, unlike many plain worm medicines, Jashan Super contains Profenofos, which acts as an effective acaricide to control red spider mites and yellow mites alongside caterpillars.
2. Is it safe for all crops?
It is recommended primarily for Cotton, Paddy, and certain vegetables. Do not use it on sensitive crops or during the flowering stage where bees are active.
3. What is the cost per acre?
Jashan Super is a budget-friendly option. At the recommended dosage, the cost is approximately ₹400 per acre, making it cheaper than many new-generation molecules.
4. Can I mix it with fungicides?
It is physically compatible with most common fungicides. However, always perform a jar test before mixing large quantities.
5. How is this different from generic Cypermethrin?
Generic Cypermethrin only shocks the pest. Jashan Super adds Profenofos, which kills eggs, reaches hidden pests, and prevents mite flare-ups, offering superior "Total Control."
