Chlorodol (Anu Products Limited) (Chlorpyriphos 1.5% DP) is a broad-spectrum insecticide manufactured by Anu Products Limited. It is a dustable powder (DP) formulation containing 1.5% chlorpyriphos, an organophosphate insecticide with contact, stomach, and vapor action.
Mode of Action: Chlorpyriphos works by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme essential for nerve transmission in insects. This disruption leads to paralysis and eventually death.
Dosage and Application:
The recommended dosage of Chlorodol varies depending on the crop and target pest. For most crops, the recommended dosage is 5-10 kg per hectare. Chlorodol should be applied as a dust using a conventional duster.
Here are some additional tips for applying Chlorodol on rice:
- Apply Chlorodol in the early morning or late evening to avoid the heat of the day.
- Make sure to cover all parts of the rice plant, including the leaves, stems, and panicles, with the dust.
- Do not apply Chlorodol to rice that is close to harvest.
- Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling Chlorodol.
