Jashn Insecticide by Rallis India (Tata) - Profenofos 50% EC
The "Heavy Hammer" for Pink Bollworm and Sucking Pests.
Jashn Insecticide is a trusted crop protection solution from Rallis India (a Tata Enterprise). It is a powerful, broad-spectrum organophosphate designed to fight tough pests in Cotton and Soybean. It is famous for its Ovicidal Action (killing pest eggs) and its ability to penetrate leaves to kill hidden pests. Whether you are dealing with the Pink Bollworm or stubborn sucking pests like Thrips and Mites, Jashn offers reliable, cost-effective control.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ⏱️Stops the Next Generation (Ovicidal): Unlike many sprays that only kill larvae, Jashn destroys the pest eggs. This breaks the pest life cycle immediately, preventing future outbreaks.
- ?️Deep Penetration (Translaminar): Jashn enters the leaf tissue and moves from the top surface to the bottom. This kills sucking pests (Mites, Aphids) hiding on the underside of leaves where sprays usually can't reach.
- ⏳Double Action Control: It works as a Stomach Poison (when pests eat the leaf) and a Contact Poison (when spray hits the pest). It controls chewing caterpillars and sucking pests simultaneously.
- ?️Excellent Rainfastness: Once sprayed, Jashn absorbs into the leaf quickly. It becomes rain-safe within 3 to 4 hours, ensuring your investment isn't washed away by sudden showers.
- ?Tata Rallis Quality Assurance: Manufactured by Rallis India, you are guaranteed high purity and correct chemical strength, avoiding the risks of phytotoxicity (crop burn) often found in low-quality generics.

How It Works: Mode of Action
- Nerve System Blockade: Jashn inhibits the Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) enzyme in the insect's nervous system. This causes a "traffic jam" of nerve signals, leading to paralysis and death of the pest.
- Translaminar Movement: Upon spraying, the chemical penetrates the upper leaf surface and travels to the lower surface. This kills pests like mites and aphids that hide underneath the leaf canopy.
- Egg Destruction (Ovicidal): The solvent-based formulation penetrates the hard shell of insect eggs, killing the developing embryo inside before it can hatch into a damaging larva.
Target Crops & Pests

|---|---|

Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results. Ensure you use at least 200 Litres of water per acre for full canopy coverage.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cotton | 400 - 600 ml (Up to 1000 ml for heavy infestation) | 200 - 300 L | 2.0 ml | 15 Days |
| Soybean | 400 - 500 ml | 200 L | 2.0 ml - 2.5 ml | 40 Days |
| Vegetables (Brinjal/Okra) | 400 - 500 ml | 200 L | 2.0 ml | 7 - 14 Days |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting to ensure residue-free produce.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply when pest population crosses the Economic Threshold Level (ETL). For Pink Bollworm, spray during the egg-laying stage for maximum impact.
- Mixing: Do NOT mix with alkaline products like Bordeaux mixture, Lime Sulphur, or highly alkaline micronutrients. This will destroy the chemical efficacy.
- Coverage: Ensure thorough coverage of the plant foliage. Since Jashn has translaminar action, good surface coverage ensures better penetration.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Avoid spraying during peak bee activity (flowering stage) if possible.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does Jashn kill Pink Bollworm?
Yes, Jashn is an excellent tool for Pink Bollworm management. Its ovicidal action kills the eggs before they hatch, and it can penetrate young bolls to kill early-stage larvae.
2. What is the difference between Jashn and Jashn Super?
Jashn is pure Profenofos 50% EC (great for eggs and sucking pests). Jashn Super is a mix of Profenofos + Cypermethrin, which offers a faster "knockdown" (instant kill) effect on flying insects.
3. Does it control Mites (Red Spider Mite)?
Yes, Jashn has acaricidal properties. It effectively controls mites in crops like Chilli and Cotton, saving you the cost of a separate miticide.
4. Can I mix Jashn with fungicides?
Jashn is compatible with most neutral insecticides and fungicides (like Mancozeb). However, perform a small "jar test" before mixing in the main tank. Never mix with alkaline substances.
5. What is the price of Jashn Insecticide per litre?
The price varies by region, but generally, a 1 Litre bottle costs between ₹1000 and ₹1100. This makes it a very cost-effective solution (approx ₹500/acre) compared to newer chemistries.
