Syngenta Simodis Insecticide (Isocycloseram 9.2% w/w DC)
The Ultimate "Resistance Breaker" for Black Thrips, Mites, and Borers.
Syngenta Simodis is a revolutionary crop protection solution powered by the patented PLINAZOLIN® Technology. Designed for the modern farmer facing crop failure due to resistant pests, it introduces a completely new Mode of Action (Group 30). Whether you are battling sucking pests like Thrips and Mites or chewing pests like Bollworms and Caterpillars, Simodis offers broad-spectrum control with excellent crop safety.
Best For: Cotton, Chilli, Brinjal, and Vegetable farmers looking for a "One-Shot" solution against complex pest attacks where older chemicals have failed.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ⏱️Rapid Knockdown Action: Stops pests from feeding within 1 to 3 hours of application. This immediate halt prevents virus transmission (like Leaf Curl) and further physical damage.
- ?️Breaks Resistance Cycles: Specifically engineered to kill pests resistant to Diamides, Organophosphates, and Neonicotinoids. It works where others fail.
- ⏳Long-Lasting Protection: Offers extended residual control for 14 to 28 days due to high UV stability, reducing the labor and cost of frequent re-spraying.
- ?️Excellent Rainfastness: The advanced DC formulation locks into the leaf surface within 1-3 hours, ensuring your investment is safe even if it rains shortly after spraying.
- ?Dual Action (Insecticide + Acaricide): Controls both insects (Thrips/Worms) and Mites (Red/Yellow) simultaneously, eliminating the need to buy a separate miticide.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Simodis targets the nervous system of insects using a unique mechanism that differs from Fipronil or Avermectins. It acts as an "allosteric modulator" on the GABA receptor.
- Locking the Door: Think of the insect's nerve channel as a door. Simodis binds to the hinge (allosteric site) and jams it shut, preventing the calming signals (Chloride ions) from entering.
- Hyperexcitation: Without the "brake," the insect's nervous system fires uncontrollably, leading to convulsions and paralysis.
- Translaminar Movement: The formulation penetrates the leaf tissue, moving from top to bottom. This reaches pests like mites and thrips hiding on the underside of leaves.
Result: Pests stop damaging the crop almost immediately and die within 24-48 hours.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Cotton | Thrips, Jassids, American & Pink Bollworm |
| Chilli & Vegetables | Black Thrips (T. parvispinus), Yellow Mites, Red Mites, Fruit Borers |
| Pulses & Groundnut | Pod Borers, Stem Fly, Girdle Beetle, Leaf Miner |
Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre". Note that the dosage for Sucking Pests is different from Chewing Pests.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop & Target | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cotton/Chilli (Sucking Pests) Targets: Thrips, Mites, Jassids | 80 - 120 ml | 200 L | 0.4 - 0.6 ml | 5-7 (Veg) / 37 (Cotton) |
| Cotton/Chilli (Chewing Pests) Targets: Bollworms, Borers | 200 - 240 ml | 200 L | 1.0 - 1.2 ml | 5-7 (Veg) / 37 (Cotton) |
| Brinjal / Cabbage / Okra Targets: Shoot Borer, DBM | 200 - 240 ml | 200 L | 1.0 - 1.2 ml | 3 - 10 Days |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting to ensure residue safety.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Spray during cool hours (6 AM - 9 AM or 4 PM - 6 PM). Avoid spraying during peak bee activity (mid-day).
- Mixing: Compatible with neutral fungicides like Amistar Top. Do NOT mix with alkaline Copper fungicides (Bordeaux mixture). Use a pH corrector if water is alkaline.
- Coverage: Simodis is translaminar but not fully systemic. Use 200 Liters of water per acre with Hollow Cone nozzles to ensure full canopy coverage.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is the 80ml bottle enough for one acre?
Yes, IF you are targeting only Sucking Pests (Mites/Thrips). If you are targeting Bollworms or Fruit Borers, 80ml is not enough; you will need approx 200-240ml for an acre.
2. Does Simodis control both Red and Yellow Mites?
Yes, Simodis is highly effective against both Red Spider Mites and Yellow Mites, solving the confusion of diagnosing leaf curl symptoms.
3. How long does the protection last?
Simodis provides extended protection for 14 to 28 days depending on the crop and weather, significantly longer than many generic alternatives.
4. Can I use it on flowering crops?
Simodis is safe for the crop, but toxic to bees. Avoid spraying when bees are actively foraging. Spray in the late evening to protect pollinators.
5. Is it rainfast?
Yes, it becomes rainfast within 1 to 3 hours after application.
