Remix Insecticide (Imidacloprid 48% FS) – Crystal Crop Protection
Secure your harvest before you sow. The ultimate seed treatment for robust root protection.
Remix Insecticide is a technologically advanced Flowable Concentrate for Seed Treatment (FS). Unlike old-fashioned powders, this liquid polymer formulation coats each seed perfectly, providing a powerful shield against soil-dwelling and early-season sucking pests.
By treating your seeds with Remix, you ensure your crop gets a "pest-free" start for the first 30 to 40 days. It is highly effective against Termites, Shoot Flies, and sucking pests like Whiteflies and Aphids in crops like Cotton, Okra, Maize, and Wheat.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ⏱️Immediate Protection: Starts working from the moment the seed germinates, protecting the vulnerable seedling when it is most weak.
- ?️Long-Lasting Shield: Provides systemic immunity for 30–40 days, delaying the need for early foliar sprays.
- ⏳Weather Proof: Since the medicine is inside the plant, it cannot be washed away by rain, unlike surface sprays.
- ?️Superior Formulation (FS): The polymer sticks to the seed without "dusting off," ensuring the full dose enters the plant and improving safety for the farmer.
- ?Eco-Friendly Start: By reducing early sprays, it protects beneficial insects (predators) that help control pests naturally later in the season.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Remix works as a systemic neurotoxin. It protects the plant from the inside out.
- Systemic Absorption: Once the seed is treated and sown, the roots absorb the active ingredient (Imidacloprid) from the seed coat.
- Upward Movement: The chemical moves upward (acropetally) through the xylem to the stem and leaves, creating a toxic zone for pests.
- Nervous System Block: When a pest (like a Jassid or Termite) feeds on the plant, the chemical blocks their nerve signals, leading to paralysis and death.
This creates a "Zone of Protection" around the root and stem that pests cannot penetrate.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Cotton, Okra, Sunflower | Jassids, Aphids, Whiteflies, Thrips |
| Maize, Sorghum, Pearl Millet | Shoot Fly, Termites |
| Wheat, Groundnut, Soybean | Termites, Aphids, Stem Fly |
Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per kg of Seed". Do not overdose, as it may affect germination.
Recommended Dosage per Crop
| Crop | Dose (ml / kg Seed) | Water for Slurry (ml) | Method | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cotton, Okra, Sunflower | 5.0 – 9.0 ml | 10 ml | Slurry Mix | Use higher dose for heavy pest history. |
| Maize, Sorghum, Bajra | 8.0 – 12.0 ml | 10 - 20 ml | Slurry Mix | Critical for Dead Heart (Shoot fly) control. |
| Wheat, Soybean | 1.0 – 3.0 ml | 5 ml | Mechanical / Drum | Ensure uniform coating for Termites. |
*Note: Seed treatment products are calculated per kg of seed, not per litre of water. The "Water" column above refers to the small amount of water added to make a slurry.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Treat the seeds 24 hours before sowing or just before sowing.
- Mixing: Prepare a "Slurry" by mixing the Remix dose with a small amount of water (see table). Add this slurry to the seeds in a rotating drum or plastic bag. Shake well for uniform coating.
- Coverage: Ensure every seed is red/pink (coated). Uneven coating leads to poor protection.
- Drying: Dry the treated seeds in the shade on a clean surface. DO NOT dry under direct sunlight as UV rays can reduce efficacy.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Do not use treated seeds for food, feed, or oil extraction.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the difference between Remix (FS) and powder (WP/DS) seed treatments?
Remix is a liquid polymer formulation (FS). It sticks much better to the seed, doesn't fall off as dust, and is safer for the farmer to handle compared to dry powders.
2. Can I use Remix along with Fungicides?
Yes, Remix is compatible with common fungicides like Carbendazim (Bavistin) or Thiram. This is recommended for total protection against both insects and rot diseases.
3. How long does the protection last?
It provides effective protection for 30 to 40 days after sowing, covering the most critical seedling stage.
4. Is it cost-effective?
Extremely. The cost per acre is very low (approx. ₹30-50 per acre depending on seed rate) compared to a foliar spray which costs 10x more.
5. Does it harm germination?
No, when used at the recommended dose, it is safe for the seed and actually helps in establishing a healthy plant stand.
