How It Works: Mode of Action
Cyperhit-25 targets the nervous system of insects. It acts as an axonic poison that disrupts the sodium channels in nerve cells.
- Contact & Ingestion: The insect absorbs the chemical through its skin or eats treated leaves.
- Nerve Disruption: The active ingredient prevents sodium channels from closing, causing continuous nerve firing.
- Paralysis & Death: This leads to tremors, loss of control, paralysis, and rapid death of the pest.
This mechanism ensures that even resistant pests like the Bollworm are controlled effectively.

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 (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cotton | 160 - 320 ml | 200 Litres | 1.5 - 2 ml | - |
| Brinjal | 80 - 120 ml | 200 Litres | 0.5 - 1 ml | 1 Day |
| Okra | 80 - 200 ml | 200 Litres | 1 - 1.5 ml | 3 Days |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply when you first see pests (e.g., at square formation for Cotton). Spray during early morning or cool evening hours.
- Mixing: Add the required quantity of Cyperhit-25 to a small amount of water, mix well, and then add to the main tank.
- Coverage: Ensure thorough coverage of the plant foliage, especially the underside of leaves where Jassids and larvae hide.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Do not spray near fish ponds or water bodies.
Frequently Asked Questions

4. What is the difference between Cyperhit and Cyprohit?
Cyperhit is a poisonous insecticide for crops. Cyprohit is a human medicine. Never confuse the two; keep Cyperhit away from children.
5. Why is the Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI) important?
Following the PHI ensures that the chemical residues degrade to safe levels before the vegetables reach the market for consumption.
