Product Description
What is Cypermethrin 0.25% DP?
Cypermethrin 0.25% DP is a ready-to-use dustable powder insecticide that does not need water. Just sprinkle it on plants, soil, or stored grain — and it kills pests fast. It is a synthetic pyrethroid in IRAC Group 3A — sodium channel modulators — giving fast knockdown and 10–15 days of pest control.
Krishikranti PRALAYA Cypermethrin 0.25% DP is the trusted choice for farmers who want water-free pest control. Best for termite control in soil, bollworm in cotton, stem borer in paddy, fruit borer in vegetables, and weevils + beetles in stored grain godowns.
How Cypermethrin 0.25% DP Works
Cypermethrin works in two ways at the same time:
- Contact action — pests die when they touch the dust on plants or soil
- Stomach action — pests die when they eat treated leaves or grain
The active ingredient blocks sodium channels in the insect's nervous system. This stops nerve signals — pests stop feeding within minutes, become paralysed, and die within hours. The dust also acts as a repellent — new pests avoid treated areas, preventing reinfestation.

How to Apply Cypermethrin 0.25% DP
- On crops: Sprinkle the dust by hand or use a mechanical duster. Best time is early morning or late evening when air is still and dew is on leaves — dust sticks better.
- For soil termite control: Mix the dust with sand and broadcast at the root zone before sowing or transplanting.
- For stored grain: Apply a thin dust layer on grain heaps, godown floor, walls, and corners.
- Repeat application: Every 10–15 days based on pest pressure.
⚠️ Important: Toxic to bees and fish — do not apply during flowering or near water bodies. Apply only in calm weather to prevent dust drift. Pre-harvest interval (PHI): 14 days for field crops, 7–10 days for vegetables. Wear gloves, mask, and goggles during application. Store in a cool, dry place away from food and animal feed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is Cypermethrin 0.25% DP used for?
Cypermethrin 0.25% DP is a dustable powder insecticide used to control bollworms, stem borers, leaf folders, fruit borers, DBM, aphids, jassids, thrips, whitefly, termites, and stored grain pests like weevils and beetles. It works on cotton, paddy, sugarcane, vegetables, plantation crops, and stored grain godowns.
Q2: What is the dose of Cypermethrin 0.25% DP per acre?
Cotton: 4–5 kg per acre. Paddy: 3–4 kg per acre. Vegetables: 3–5 kg per acre. Sugarcane termite: 5 kg per acre. Soil termite barrier: 5–6 kg per acre. Stored grain: 2–3 kg per 100 sq.m.
Q3: Can Cypermethrin 0.25% DP be used directly on plants?
Yes. Sprinkle the dust on plants by hand or with a mechanical duster. Best time is early morning or late evening when air is calm and dew is on leaves — the dust sticks better and gives full coverage.
Q4: Is Cypermethrin 0.25% DP good for termite control?
Yes. Apply 5–6 kg per acre as a soil broadcast at sowing or transplanting stage. The dust kills termites on contact and acts as a repellent barrier — preventing fresh termite entry to roots and stems in cotton, sugarcane, and groundnut.
Q5: Can I use Cypermethrin 0.25% DP for stored grain protection?
Yes. Apply 2–3 kg per 100 square metres of storage area. Spread a thin dust layer on grain heaps, godown floor, walls, and corners. It controls weevils, beetles, moths, and other stored grain pests for several months.
Q6: What is the difference between Cypermethrin DP and Cypermethrin EC?
DP (Dustable Powder) does not need water — sprinkle directly. Best for soil treatment, stored grain, and dry-land farming. EC (Emulsifiable Concentrate) needs water mixing and spraying — best for foliar coverage on standing crops. Choose DP for soil and storage; choose EC for spray on plants.
Q7: How fast does Cypermethrin 0.25% DP work?
Pest paralysis starts within minutes of contact. Visible knockdown in 2–4 hours. Full pest death within 24 hours. Residual protection lasts 10–15 days per application.
Q8: What is the pre-harvest interval (PHI) for Cypermethrin 0.25% DP?
14 days for field crops like cotton and paddy. 7–10 days for vegetables and fruits. Do not apply within this period before harvesting.
