1. Introduction

In the modern era of agriculture, where pest infestations can significantly impact yield and quality, farmers need reliable and fast-acting insecticides. CHLOCAPAS® 100GM stands out as a trusted name for effective pest control across various crops. Manufactured with advanced agrochemical technology, it offers long-lasting protection, making it a preferred choice for progressive farmers.

2. What is CHLOCAPAS® 100GM?

CHLOCAPAS® 100GM is a broad-spectrum insecticide widely used in Indian agriculture. It contains Chlorpyrifos 1% DP (Dustable Powder), a potent organophosphate insecticide known for its powerful knockdown effect on multiple pests.

It is specially formulated to provide excellent control of soil-dwelling insects and foliar feeders. The dustable powder format ensures uniform distribution and effective contact with target pests.

3. Key Features and Composition

• Active Ingredient: Chlorpyrifos 1% DP

• Formulation Type: Dustable Powder (DP)

• Packaging Size: 100GM pouch (also available in other pack sizes depending on the market)

• Application Method: Broadcast over the soil or applied at the base of plants

• Action: Contact and stomach poison

Key Features:

• Quick knockdown effect

• Residual activity for extended protection

• Easy to apply without the need for mixing

• Cost-effective solution for small and large farms

• Low water requirement

4. How CHLOCAPAS® 100GM Works

CHLOCAPAS® 100GM works by inhibiting the enzyme acetylcholinesterase in the pest’s nervous system. This leads to an accumulation of acetylcholine, causing paralysis and eventually death. The insecticide is absorbed through the pest’s cuticle and acts as both a contact and stomach poison.

Due to its systemic and residual action, it continues to protect the crop for days after application, preventing re-infestation and improving crop quality.

5. Target Pests Controlled by CHLOCAPAS® 100GM

CHLOCAPAS® 100GM is highly effective against a broad range of pests, including:

• White Grubs

• Termites

• Cutworms

• Root borers

• Aphids

• Leaf miners

• Soil insects in sugarcane and paddy fields

Its efficacy on both soil-borne and foliar pests makes it a versatile insecticide for different crop conditions.

6. Crops Best Suited for CHLOCAPAS® 100GM

This product is ideal for use on:

• Sugarcane

• Paddy (Rice)

• Maize

• Groundnut

• Cotton

• Vegetables (e.g., brinjal, tomato)

• Potato

• Wheat

Its flexible use across these crops makes it a valuable addition to integrated pest management (IPM) strategies.

7. Application Guidelines

Proper application ensures maximum efficacy. Follow these steps:

1. Broadcast Method: Evenly spread the powder at the base of plants or in furrows during sowing.

2. For Soil Insects: Apply during land preparation or early crop stages.

3. For Termites: Apply in the planting pit or furrow before transplanting.

Pro Tip: Moist soil enhances the effectiveness of the dust able powder.

• Soil and Foliar Action: Controls both root and leaf feeders

• Cost-Effective: Economical in terms of dose and result

• User-Friendly: No water needed for application

• Prevents Re-infestation: Long-lasting effect

• Boosts Yield: Healthier crops due to reduced pest pressure

• Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Compatible

10. Safety and Precautionary Measures

Although CHLOCAPAS® 100GM is effective, it must be handled with care:

• Use gloves and masks during application

• Avoid inhalation and direct skin contact

• Wash hands and clothes after use

• Do not apply during strong wind conditions

• Keep away from children and livestock

• Follow re-entry intervals (REI) as per the label

If accidental exposure occurs, seek medical help immediately.

11. Environmental Impact

CHLOCAPAS® 100GM, like other organophosphate insecticides, should be used judiciously to minimize environmental risk. When used as directed:

• It has low persistence in soil

• Breaks down quickly, reducing long-term residues

• Minimal leaching into groundwater

• Avoid use near water bodies to protect aquatic life

Proper usage ensures safety for non-target organisms and sustainability in agriculture.

12. Compatibility with Other Pesticides

CHLOCAPAS® 100GM is generally compatible with:

• Fungicides

• Other insecticides (except alkaline ones)

• Fertilizers

However, always perform a small-scale compatibility test before tank-mixing, even though it is a dry formulation, and mixing is not often required.

13. Storage and Shelf Life

• Shelf Life: 2 years from the date of manufacture

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight

• Keep in original packaging with label intact

• Do not store with food or animal feed

Proper storage ensures potency and safety for future use.
