Ortain Super Insecticide (Acephate 50% + Fipronil 5% WDG)
The Ultimate Dual-Action "Resistance Breaker" for Rice and Cotton
Fighting a double attack from stem borers and sucking pests? Ortain Super is your complete solution. This advanced broad-spectrum insecticide combines the systemic power of Acephate with the strong contact action of Fipronil.
Ortain Super is designed to break pest resistance. It protects your crop from the inside (systemic) and the outside (contact), ensuring that hidden pests like borers and surface pests like hoppers are eliminated simultaneously. Its modern WDG formulation dissolves instantly without dust, making it safer and more effective than older powders.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Ortain Super attacks the insect nervous system from two different angles, making it nearly impossible for pests to survive.
- Systemic Attack (Acephate): Absorbs quickly into the plant leaves and roots. It travels through the sap, poisoning hidden pests (like stem borers) that feed from the inside.
- Contact Attack (Fipronil): Creates a toxic barrier on the leaf surface. Any pest touching the treated area is immediately affected.
- Neurotoxic Crossfire: Acephate blocks the enzyme AChE, while Fipronil blocks the GABA chloride channels. This causes simultaneous hyperexcitation, paralysis, and death of the insect.
This dual mechanism makes it highly effective against pests that are resistant to ordinary insecticides.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Paddy (Rice) | Yellow Stem Borer, Leaf Folder, Brown Plant Hopper (BPH), Green Leaf Hopper (GLH) |
| Cotton | Jassids, Thrips (Sucking Complex), Bollworm Complex |
| Safflower | Aphids |
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 (Grams / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (Grams / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paddy (Rice) | 400 g | 150 - 200 L | 2 g | 27 Days |
| Cotton (Sucking Pests) | 156 g | 150 - 200 L | 1 g | Check Label |
| Cotton (Bollworms) | 312 g | 150 - 200 L | 1.5 - 2 g | Check Label |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply when pest population reaches the Economic Threshold Level (ETL). For Paddy Stem Borer, spray when 5% Dead Hearts are visible.
- Mixing: Do NOT mix with alkaline solutions (like Bordeaux mixture or Lime Sulfur) as this neutralizes the chemical. Use a pH balancer if your water is hard/alkaline.
- Coverage: Use 150-200 Litres of water per acre. Thorough coverage is essential for the contact action of Fipronil to work effectively.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). This product is toxic; wash hands thoroughly after use and do not inhale spray mist.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does Ortain Super kill eggs of the pests?
Yes, it has ovicidal action against certain pests and effectively controls the adult moths of Stem Borers, preventing them from laying new eggs.
2. Can I mix Ortain Super with fungicides?
Yes, it is generally compatible with common rice fungicides like Hexaconazole and Tricyclazole for simultaneous pest and disease control.
3. Is it safe for fish?
No. Fipronil is toxic to aquatic life. Do not drain paddy water into lakes or rivers immediately after spraying.
4. What is the benefit of the WDG formulation?
Unlike older powders, WDG (Water Dispersible Granules) is dust-free (safer for you) and dissolves instantly in water, ensuring a uniform spray that doesn't clog nozzles.
5. When should I stop spraying before harvest?
For paddy (rice), you must stop spraying at least 27 days before harvesting to ensure the grain is safe for consumption.
