Prachand Insecticide (Cyclaniliprole 9.3% DC)
Advanced Japanese Technology for Total Control of Stem Borer and Leaf Folder in Rice.
Prachand is a premium, broad-spectrum insecticide brought to you by Coromandel in collaboration with Ishihara Sangyo Kaisha (ISK), Japan. It features the novel active ingredient Cyclaniliprole. Unlike older chemicals that pests have become resistant to, Prachand uses a unique "Dispersible Concentrate" (DC) technology. This ensures the medicine spreads evenly over leaves and penetrates deep into the plant, offering superior protection against the toughest chewing pests in Indian farming.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Prachand works on the insect's muscular system rather than its nervous system, making it effective against pests resistant to older poisons.
- Locking the Muscle: Prachand binds to the Ryanodine Receptors in the insect's muscles.
- Calcium Release: It forces the release of stored calcium ions, causing the insect's muscles to contract uncontrollably.
- Paralysis & Starvation: The insect becomes paralyzed and cannot move its mouthparts. It stops eating immediately and dies within 2-3 days.

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) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rice (Paddy) | 160 ml | 150 - 200 L | 0.8 - 1 ml | 35 Days |
| Cabbage | 150 - 160 ml | 150 - 200 L | 0.8 - 1 ml | 5 Days |
| Brinjal | 150 - 160 ml | 200 L | 0.8 - 1 ml | 3 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 early tillering stage or when you first see signs of Stem Borer (dead hearts) or Leaf Folder damage.
- Mixing: Prachand is a DC formulation; ensure it is mixed thoroughly in the water.
- Coverage: Use sufficient water (150-200 Litres/acre). Good coverage is essential for the medicine to penetrate the leaf and reach hidden pests.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How is Prachand different from Coragen?
While both belong to the Diamide group, Prachand contains Cyclaniliprole, a Japanese-discovered molecule with a specialized "Dispersible Concentrate" (DC) formulation for better rainfastness and spread on rice leaves.
2. Can I use Prachand in fish ponds or paddy-fish farming?
No. Prachand is toxic to aquatic organisms. Do not allow the water from treated fields to drain into fish ponds or natural water bodies.
3. How long does the result last?
When applied at the recommended dose of 160ml/acre, Prachand provides protection for 14 to 21 days depending on weather conditions and pest pressure.
4. The pests didn't fall immediately after spraying. Is it working?
Yes. Prachand causes "Feeding Cessation." The insect stops eating almost immediately to save the crop, but it may remain alive on the plant for 1-3 days before falling off.
5. What is the shelf life?
Always check the manufacturing date on the bottle. Typically, if stored in a cool, dry place, it is effective for 2 years from the date of manufacture.
