Item description
HPM Ghajini Imidacloprid 70% WG Systemic Insecticide
HPM Ghajini is a water-dispersible granule insecticide containing Imidacloprid 70% WG. HPM lists it for crop-specific control of sucking pests in cotton, rice, okra and cucumber.
Imidacloprid is a neonicotinoid classified in IRAC Group 4A. Ghajini has systemic and translaminar activity with contact and stomach action. Use it only for the crop, target pest, dose, water volume and waiting period stated on the current physical label.
Available Mana Agri Mart packs: 2 g, 30 g, 75 g and 150 g.
Why Choose HPM Ghajini?
- Verified formulation: HPM confirms Imidacloprid 70% WG in four gram-pack sizes.
- Systemic activity: the active ingredient is taken up by the plant and moves upward through treated tissues.
- Crop-specific low dose: HPM lists 12–14 g/acre for cotton, rice and okra and 14 g/acre for cucumber.
- Defined pest spectrum: the product page identifies jassids, aphids, thrips and rice plant hoppers by crop.
- Resistance classification: IRAC Group 4A makes the mode of action clear for programme planning.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Imidacloprid binds to insect nicotinic acetylcholine receptors and disrupts normal nerve-signal transmission. Susceptible insects exposed through contact or feeding lose normal control and die.
- Application: the correctly diluted spray is applied to the label-listed crop using calibrated equipment.
- Plant uptake: systemic and translaminar movement helps distribute the active ingredient through treated tissues.
- Pest exposure: susceptible sucking pests contact the deposit or ingest treated plant sap.
- Nerve disruption: Group 4A receptor activity interrupts normal nervous-system function.
Resistance note: Changing to another Imidacloprid brand does not create a different-mode-of-action rotation. Avoid repeated reliance on Group 4A and follow the current label and local resistance-management guidance.
HPM-listed Crops, Targets & Dosage
| Crop | Target Pest(s) | Product Dose / Acre | Water / Acre | PHI |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cotton | Jassids, aphids and thrips | 12–14 g | 150–200 L | 7 days |
| Rice (Paddy) | Brown planthopper and white-backed planthopper | 12–14 g | 120–150 L | 7 days |

| Cucumber | Aphids and jassids | 14 g | 200 L | 5 days |
PHI means pre-harvest interval. These crop-specific per-acre values are transcribed from HPM’s current Ghajini page. Do not replace them with a universal grams-per-litre dose or apply them to unlisted crops.
Application Best Practices
- Confirm the crop and pest: identify the target and verify the exact crop-pest combination on the current Ghajini label.
- Measure accurately: the label rates are only 12–14 g/acre, so use an appropriate calibrated scale or the pack’s authorised measuring method.
- Mix correctly: first disperse the measured granules in a small quantity of clean water, then add this mixture to the partly filled spray tank and agitate as the label directs.
- Coverage: use the stated water volume and calibrated equipment to obtain even foliage coverage without runoff.
- Weather and drift: avoid strong wind, imminent rain, excessive heat and spray drift. Protect people, animals, flowering plants and water bodies.
- No inferred mixtures: recommendation cards are standalone choices, not tank-mix directions.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does HPM Ghajini contain?
Ghajini contains Imidacloprid 70% in water-dispersible granule formulation.
2. Which crops are listed by HPM?
HPM lists cotton, rice, okra and cucumber, with a specific pest spectrum and rate for each crop.
3. Does the cotton row include whitefly?
No whitefly claim is made here for cotton. HPM’s Ghajini table lists cotton jassids, aphids and thrips.
4. Is another Imidacloprid 70% WG brand a resistance rotation?
No. It remains IRAC Group 4A and is a same-active purchase substitute.
5. Can a recommended insecticide be mixed with Ghajini?
Not on the basis of the recommendation card. Use each product separately under its own current label unless authorised guidance expressly permits a mixture.
Safety & Storage
- Read the complete current label and leaflet before handling, mixing or spraying.
- Wear the personal protective equipment specified on the pack and avoid skin, eye and inhalation exposure.
- Imidacloprid is hazardous to bees and aquatic invertebrates. Follow all flowering-crop, pollinator and water-protection restrictions on the label.
- Store in the original labelled container, tightly closed, away from food, feed, children, animals, heat, moisture and direct sunlight.
- In case of exposure or poisoning, seek medical help promptly and take the product label or container. Do not assume a specific antidote.
