How It Works: Mode of Action
HPM Rise functions as a Pro-Insecticide. It is applied in an inactive form and converts into a toxic compound (carbodiimide) upon exposure to sunlight and insect metabolism.
- Energy Blockade: It targets the insect's mitochondria (powerhouse of the cell) and inhibits ATP synthesis.
- Immediate Paralysis: Without energy (ATP), the pest becomes paralyzed and stops damaging the crop instantly.
- Multi-Stage Control: It works on eggs (ovicidal), nymphs, and adults, breaking the pest's entire lifecycle.
Note: Because it relies on sunlight for faster activation, it is most effective when applied on bright, sunny days.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Cotton | Whiteflies, Aphids, Thrips, Jassids |
| Cabbage / Cauliflower | Diamondback Moth (DBM) |
| Chilli & Brinjal | Mites (Red/Yellow), Thrips, Borers |
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 | 240 g | 200 L | 1.2 g | 21 Days |
| Cabbage / Cauliflower | 240 g | 200 L | 1.2 g | 7 Days |
| Chilli / Brinjal | 240 g | 200 L | 1.2 g | 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 pest population reaches the Economic Threshold Level (ETL)—e.g., 6-8 whitefly nymphs per leaf. Do not spray if plants are drought-stressed.
- Mixing: Compatible with neutral fungicides (like Mancozeb). DO NOT MIX with alkaline products like Bordeaux mixture or Copper compounds.
- Coverage: Use high water volume (minimum 200 Litres/acre) to ensure thorough coverage of the underside of leaves where pests hide.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Avoid inhaling spray mist.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does HPM Rise kill Mites?
Yes, it is an excellent acaricide and controls Red Spider Mites, Yellow Mites, and Polyphagous mites effectively along with insects.
2. Is it safe for Honeybees?
Diafenthiuron is toxic to bees. Avoid spraying during peak flowering hours. Spray in the late evening when bee activity is low.
3. Can I use it on all crops?
It is primarily recommended for Cotton, Cole crops (Cabbage/Cauliflower), Solanaceous crops (Chilli/Brinjal), and Cardamom. Check the label for others.
4. What is the rainfast period?
HPM Rise becomes rainfast within 6 hours. Light rains after this period generally do not reduce its efficacy significantly.
5. Does it control pest eggs?
Yes, it has strong ovicidal action, meaning it prevents pest eggs from hatching, which helps in controlling population outbreaks.
