How It Works: Mode of Action
Incipio uses a unique mechanism to defeat pests that other poisons can't kill.
[Image of insect nervous system GABA receptor]- Entry: The chemical enters the insect through contact (touch) or ingestion (eating treated leaves).
- Targeting: It binds to a specific "allosteric" site on the insect's GABA receptors in the nervous system.
- Result: This binding cuts the insect's "nervous system brakes," causing uncontrolled hyperexcitation, paralysis, and death.
Because it binds to a different site than other chemicals, it is effective against pests resistant to older groups like diamides.

Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results. Using less water than recommended reduces efficacy.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rice | 120 ml | 150 - 200 L | 0.6 - 0.8 ml | 21 Days |
| Maize | 120 ml | 150 - 200 L | 0.6 - 0.8 ml | 20 - 25 Days* |
| Generic | 120 ml | 150 L | 0.8 ml | -- |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting. Always check the bottle label for crop-specific updates.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply between 15 to 25 Days After Transplanting (DAT) for best results in Rice to prevent dead hearts.
- Mixing: It is an SC formulation (water-based). Shake the bottle well before use. It mixes easily with water.
- Coverage: Use a Hollow Cone or Flood Jet nozzle. Ensure the spray reaches the base of the plant where Stem Borers hide.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
