Cyperhit-10 - Cypermethrin 10% EC - HPM
HPM Cyperhit-10 is a non-systemic Cypermethrin 10% EC synthetic pyrethroid insecticide with contact and stomach action. The current DPPQS major-use table supports specified caterpillar pests in cotton, cabbage, okra, brinjal, wheat and sunflower. Use only at the crop-specific label rate and water volume.
Item description
HPM Cyperhit-10: Product Overview
HPM Cyperhit-10 contains Cypermethrin 10% w/w EC and is a non-systemic synthetic pyrethroid insecticide with contact and stomach action.
The DPPQS major-use table for Cypermethrin 10% EC lists crop-specific uses against selected caterpillar pests in cotton, cabbage, okra, brinjal, wheat and sunflower. Each crop has its own formulation rate, water-volume range and pre-harvest interval, so there is no single universal dose for every crop or spray tank.
Verified Label-Led Highlights
- Defined registered uses: Six crop-and-pest recommendations are listed in the DPPQS major-use table below.
- Non-systemic action: HPM's technical description identifies contact and stomach activity.
- IRAC classification: Cypermethrin is a Group 3A sodium-channel modulator in the pyrethroid class.
- Crop-specific directions: The rate and water volume are shown separately for each registered crop.
- Pack choice: This listing currently displays 50 ml, 100 ml, 250 ml, 500 ml, 1 litre and 5 litre variants; select the pack shown on your order and verify its current label.

How Cypermethrin 10% EC Works
Cypermethrin is classified by IRAC in Group 3A. Group 3A insecticides modulate voltage-gated sodium channels in the insect nervous system, disrupting normal nerve signalling and producing hyperexcitation and nerve block. Cyperhit-10 acts through contact and ingestion; it is not described here as systemic.
IRAC grouping is also important for resistance stewardship. Do not treat successive pest generations repeatedly with insecticides from the same mode-of-action group. Follow the current label and a locally appropriate integrated pest-management programme.

Dosage, Water Volume and PHI
| Crop | Active ingredient | Formulation | Water | PHI |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cotton | 50–70 g/ha | 550–760 ml/ha | 150–1000 L/ha | 7 days |
| Cabbage | 60–70 g/ha | 650–760 ml/ha | 100–400 L/ha | 7 days |
| Okra | 50–70 g/ha | 550–760 ml/ha | 150–400 L/ha | 3 days |
| Brinjal | 50–70 g/ha | 550–760 ml/ha | 150–400 L/ha | 3 days |
| Wheat | 50 g/ha | 550 ml/ha | 500–800 L/ha | 14 days |
| Sunflower | 60–70 g/ha | 650–760 ml/ha | 500–700 L/ha | 14 days |
PHI means pre-harvest interval. These are per-hectare values from the public DPPQS major-use table. Do not create a universal ml-per-litre rate by dividing one crop's dose into another crop's water volume. The current pack label supplied with the product takes precedence.
Application Guidance
- Identify correctly: Confirm both the crop and target pest before selecting the matching table row.
- Measure accurately: Use the crop-specific formulation rate and water-volume range; calibrate the sprayer for the treated area.
- Mix by the label: Follow the current EC mixing order on the pack, maintain agitation and prepare only the quantity required for the application.
- Coverage and drift: Apply with suitable equipment for uniform crop coverage and prevent drift beyond the target area.
- Programme details: Timing, spray interval, maximum applications, re-entry and weather restrictions must come from the current label or authorised local guidance.
- No automatic tank mix: Do not mix with another pesticide, fertiliser or adjuvant unless the label or a qualified adviser confirms compatibility and legal use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is Cyperhit-10 systemic?
No. HPM's technical description identifies it as non-systemic with contact and stomach action.
2. Can one dose be used for every crop?
No. The registered formulation rate, water volume and PHI vary by crop; use the matching table row and current label.
3. Are Cyperhit-10 and Cyperhit-25 the same?
No. Cyperhit-25 is a separate Cypermethrin 25% EC product. Do not transfer its rate or directions to this 10% EC formulation.
4. Is sugarcane included in this table?
No. Sugarcane appears on HPM's web page but was not found in the DPPQS major-use table used for this verification, so it is omitted pending the current physical label.
5. Which pack should I select?
Choose the required variant shown on this product page and confirm the pack label, seal and quantity when it arrives.
