Vadh CS Insecticide (Lambda-cyhalothrin 4.9% CS) by HPM
Advanced "Capsule Suspension" technology for long-lasting protection against Bollworms, Stem Borers, and Leaf Folders.
Vadh CS is a new-generation insecticide from HPM Chemicals designed to fight tough crop pests. Unlike older sprays, Vadh uses Capsule Suspension (CS) technology, which encapsulates the active ingredient (Lambda-cyhalothrin) in tiny protective shells. This ensures the medicine is released slowly for longer results and is much safer for the farmer to handle, significantly reducing skin irritation.
Best Used For: Cotton, Paddy (Rice), Brinjal, Tomato, and Chilli crops.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
-
⏱️
Quick Knockdown Action: Stops pests immediately upon contact, preventing further crop damage instantly.
-
🛡️
Safer for Farmers: The "CS" technology locks the chemical inside micro-capsules, reducing the burning sensation (skin irritation) often caused by other pyrethroids.
-
⏳
Long-Lasting Protection: Provides residual control for 10 to 14 days because the UV-protected capsules release the medicine slowly.
-
🌧️
Excellent Rainfastness: The capsules stick firmly to the leaf surface, ensuring the spray isn't washed away easily by light rain.
-
🌿
Versatile Crop Use: Highly effective on a wide range of crops including Cotton, Rice, Vegetables, and Grapes.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Vadh CS acts as a powerful neurotoxin that attacks the central nervous system of the insect.
- Contact Action: The moment an insect touches a sprayed leaf, the micro-capsules stick to its body and release the active ingredient, causing immediate paralysis.
- Stomach Action: If the pest (like a Bollworm) eats the treated crop, the capsule bursts inside its stomach, leading to death.
- Repellent Effect: The chemical layer on the leaves discourages adult moths from laying eggs, breaking the pest reproduction cycle.
Note: The "CS" formulation protects the chemical from sunlight, keeping it active in the field for longer than standard liquid sprays.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|

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 | 200 ml | 200 L | 1 ml/L | 21 Days |
| Paddy (Rice) | 100 ml | 200 L | 0.5 ml/L | 15 Days |
| Vegetables (Brinjal/Tomato) | 120 ml | 200 L | 0.6 ml/L | 5 Days |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Spray during the early stages of pest attack. For bees safety, avoid spraying during peak flowering time or spray late in the evening.
- Mixing: Shake the bottle well before use. Add the required quantity of Vadh CS to a small amount of water, mix well, and then add to the main tank.
- Coverage: Ensure thorough coverage of the plant foliage (both upper and lower sides of leaves) for the best "Contact Action" results.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Avoid inhaling the spray mist.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does Vadh CS kill Bollworms?
Yes, it is highly effective against American, Spotted, and Pink Bollworms in cotton crops due to its double action (Contact + Stomach).
2. Why is Vadh CS better than normal EC sprays?
Vadh CS uses Capsule Suspension technology. This makes it longer-lasting (up to 14 days) and causes less skin irritation/burning compared to traditional EC liquid sprays.
3. Is this product safe for bees?
Lambda-cyhalothrin is toxic to bees. Do not spray during active flowering times. If necessary, spray in the late evening when bees are not active.
4. What is the dose for a 15-Litre pump?
For Cotton (200ml/acre), use approx 15-20ml per 15L tank. For Rice (100ml/acre), use approx 8-10ml per 15L tank. Always calibrate based on your spray volume.
5. Can I use it on vegetables before harvest?
Yes, but you must observe the Waiting Period (PHI). For Tomato and Brinjal, stop spraying at least 5 days before you plan to harvest.
