The Ultimate "Double-Engine" Protection for Tomatoes and Cotton
Hinthora by HPM is a premium, broad-spectrum insecticide designed to fight the toughest resistant pests. By combining two powerful active ingredients—Novaluron and Indoxacarb—in an advanced Suspension Concentrate (SC) formulation, it delivers a knockout punch to caterpillars while promoting a healthier, greener crop.
Best For: Farmers facing pest resistance issues who need immediate stop-feeding action and long-duration control.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ⏱️ Instant Stop-Feeding Action: The moment pests contact Hinthora, they suffer paralysis and stop damaging your fruit immediately, protecting your harvest quality.
- ?️ Double-Engine Efficacy: A synergistic mix of a Neurotoxin (Indoxacarb) and an Insect Growth Regulator (Novaluron) ensures pests are killed at all life stages.
- ⏳ Long-Lasting & Translaminar: The formula penetrates leaf tissues to kill hidden larvae and remains active for days, reducing the need for frequent sprays.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Hinthora uses a synergistic "Twin Mode" mechanism to overcome pest resistance:
- Neurological Knockdown (Indoxacarb): Blocks the insect's sodium channels immediately upon contact/ingestion. This causes paralysis and stops the pest from feeding instantly.
- Growth Inhibition (Novaluron): Prevents chitin synthesis. When larvae attempt to molt, they cannot form a new skin and die (abortive molting).
- Reproductive Control: It reduces the viability of eggs laid by adults (trans-ovarial effect), suppressing future generations.
This dual attack ensures that pests resistant to older chemicals like pyrethroids are effectively eliminated.
Target Crops & Pests

Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tomato | 330 – 350 ml | 150 – 200 L | ~ 2.0 ml/L | -- |
| Cotton | 330 – 350 ml | 150 – 200 L | ~ 2.0 ml/L | -- |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply at the early stages of pest infestation for maximum effectiveness.
- Mixing: The SC formulation mixes easily with water. Ensure proper agitation in the tank.
- Coverage: Use 150-200 Litres of water per acre to ensure the solution covers the entire canopy.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
