Vibrant Insecticide (Thiocyclam Hydrogen Oxalate 4% GR) - Complete Guide
The ultimate solution for Rice Stem Borer and Leaf Folder control. Protect your mother tillers and maximize yield with PI Industries' advanced granular technology.
Vibrant Insecticide is a highly effective granular pest control solution designed specifically for paddy (rice) farmers. Powered by Thiocyclam Hydrogen Oxalate 4% GR, it uses a unique marine-based chemistry to stop pests instantly. Unlike sprays that can wash off, Vibrant works systematically through the roots in standing water, ensuring your crop is protected from the inside out against "Dead Heart" and "White Ear" damage.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ⏱️Instant Stop to Feeding: The moment the pest tastes the plant, it stops eating immediately. This prevents damage instantly, even before the pest dies.
- ?️Dual Action Power: Kills pests in two ways: by contact (touching the granule/water) and systemic action (eating the plant).
- ⏳Boosts Productive Tillers: By protecting the crop during the critical early stage (15-25 days), it saves the primary "mother tillers," leading to a higher yield.
- ?️Perfect for Standing Water: Designed as a granule that dissolves easily in paddy water, ensuring the medicine reaches the roots effectively.
- ?Unique Marine Chemistry: Derived from a natural toxin found in marine worms (Nereistoxin), making it effective against pests resistant to other chemicals.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Vibrant acts as a "Nerve Blocker" for insects.
- Systemic Uptake: The granules dissolve in the paddy water and are absorbed by the rice roots, spreading the medicine up the stem.
- Signal Blockade: When the Stem Borer eats the plant, the chemical blocks the signals in the insect's nerves (similar to cutting a phone line).
- Paralysis: The insect becomes paralyzed, stops feeding instantly, and eventually dies.
This unique action breaks the resistance cycle of older pesticides.

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 (kg / Acre) | Application Method | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rice (Paddy) | 5 kg | Broadcast with Sand/Fertilizer | N/A (Granule) | 30 |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply between 15 to 25 Days After Transplanting (DAT) for best results. This is the critical time to save mother tillers.
- Mixing: Mix the 5 kg of Vibrant granules with 6-8 kg of dry sand or fertilizer to ensure easy and uniform spreading across the field.
- Water Management: Maintain 2-3 inches of standing water in the field for at least 7 days after application. This is mandatory for the medicine to dissolve and reach the roots.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Do not eat or smoke while applying.
