The Ultimate Solution for Caterpillar & Bollworm Control in Cotton and Vegetables
Rilon Insecticide by Rallis India (a Tata Enterprise) is a high-performance solution designed to tackle the toughest caterpillar infestations. Powered by Emamectin Benzoate 5% SG, it uses advanced "Soluble Granule" technology to penetrate plant tissues and create a hidden reservoir of protection. Whether you are fighting resistance-breaking Bollworms in cotton or Fruit Borers in vegetables, Rilon offers a powerful stomach poison that stops pests from feeding immediately.
Best For: Farmers seeking a cost-effective, high-ROI solution for controlling Lepidopteran pests (caterpillars) that hide inside fruits, pods, and leaves.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ⏱️Stop-Feeding Action: Upon ingestion, caterpillars suffer irreversible paralysis and stop damaging your crop within hours, even if they die 2-4 days later.
- ?️Reservoir Effect: The chemical penetrates leaf tissues (Translaminar action), creating a toxic reserve that kills hidden pests like miners and borers.
- ⏳Long-Lasting Protection: Provides extended residual control for 10 to 14 days, protecting your yield during critical growth stages.
- ?️Excellent Rainfastness: Once absorbed by the leaf (approx. 2 to 4 hours), the product is rainfast and won't wash away easily.
- ?Green Chemistry: Derived from natural fermentation, it is safer for the environment and fits perfectly into Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Rilon works by targeting the nervous system of the insect. It is a non-systemic insecticide with strong translaminar (penetrating) properties.
- Ingestion & Binding: When the larva feeds on the treated leaf, the active ingredient binds to nerve receptors, locking chloride channels open.
- Paralysis: This flood of chloride ions causes the insect's muscles to relax permanently, leading to immediate flaccid paralysis.
- Control: The pest stops feeding instantly (preventing further crop damage) and dies from starvation within 2 to 4 days.
Note: It also has ovicidal action, meaning it can prevent insect eggs from hatching.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Cotton | Bollworm Complex (American, Spotted, Pink) |

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 (g / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (g / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cotton | 76 - 88 g | 200 L | 0.44 g | 10 Days |
| Vegetables (Okra/Brinjal) | 54 - 80 g | 200 L | 0.4 - 0.5 g | 3 - 5 Days |
| Pulses (Red Gram) | 88 g | 200 - 300 L | 0.44 g | 14 Days |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting. Note: Doses are in grams (g) as Rilon is a solid granule formulation.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Spray in the late evening (after 4 PM) as Emamectin Benzoate can degrade in strong sunlight.
- Mixing: Dissolve the Rilon SG granules in a separate container of water first, then add to the main tank (WALES method). Avoid mixing with highly alkaline substances (like Bordeaux mixture).
- Coverage: Ensure thorough coverage of the plant canopy. For dense crops like Red Gram, use higher water volume (up to 300L/acre).
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Avoid spraying near fish ponds.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why are the caterpillars still alive after spraying?
Rilon causes immediate paralysis, so the pests stop feeding instantly (protecting your crop). However, they may remain alive and immobile on the plant for 2-4 days before dying of starvation.
2. Is Rilon safe for honeybees?
Direct spray is toxic to bees. To protect pollinators, apply only in the late evening when bees are not foraging. Once dry, the residue is much safer.
3. Can I use Rilon during the harvesting stage?
Yes, for vegetables like Brinjal and Chilli, Rilon has a short Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI) of just 3 days, making it suitable for crops that are picked frequently.
4. Does it control Thrips and Mites?
Yes, while primarily for caterpillars, Rilon also suppresses Thrips and some Mites, providing bonus control in crops like Chilli.
5. Is it compatible with fungicides?
Rilon is compatible with most common fungicides like Mancozeb and Carbendazim, as long as they are not highly alkaline. Always perform a small jar test first.
