Item description
Odis Insecticide (Buprofezin 20% + Acephate 50% WP) | Rallis India
The Ultimate "Double-Engine" Solution for Brown Plant Hoppers and Whiteflies.
Odis Insecticide is a specialized pre-mix formulation by Rallis India designed to tackle the toughest sucking pests in Indian agriculture. By combining the systemic power of Acephate with the long-lasting growth regulation of Buprofezin, Odis breaks the pest lifecycle completely. It kills the feeding adults instantly and sterilizes the eggs, ensuring your Paddy and Cotton crops stay protected for longer.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ⏱️ Instant Knockdown Power: Acephate attacks the nervous system of pests immediately, stopping crop damage within hours of spraying.
- ?️ Long-Lasting Residual Action: Buprofezin prevents nymphs from molting and sterilizes female adults, ensuring no new generation emerges for 15-20 days.
- ⏳ Resistance Breaker: Ideal for pests like BPH that have developed resistance to single-molecule sprays. The dual-mode action leaves no escape.
- ?️ Deep Canopy Penetration: Features "vapor action" that helps the chemical reach the base of paddy stems where hoppers hide, even in thick crops.
- ? Cost-Effective ROI: A "One-Shot" solution that saves labor costs by removing the need for tank-mixing multiple products.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Odis uses a "Synergistic Strategy" to control pests at every stage of their life:
- Systemic Shock (Acephate): It enters the plant system and travels upwards. When pests suck the sap, it attacks their nervous system, causing paralysis and rapid death of adults.
- Molting Inhibition (Buprofezin): It stops young nymphs from shedding their skin (molting). Without a new skin, the nymphs die during development.
- Trans-Ovarial Sterilization: If a female pest survives the initial spray, the Buprofezin component sterilizes her eggs. This means the eggs laid will never hatch, breaking the population cycle.
This multi-stage attack ensures that you don't just kill the visible pests, but also prevent future outbreaks.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Paddy (Rice) | Brown Plant Hopper (BPH), White Backed Plant Hopper (WBPH), Stem Borer, Leaf Folder |
| Cotton | Whitefly, Jassids, Aphids, Thrips |
| Vegetables (Chilli, Brinjal) | Aphids, Jassids, Mealybugs |
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 (g / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (g / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paddy | 400 g | 150 - 200 L | 2.0 - 2.5 g | 20 Days |
| Cotton | 400 - 500 g | 150 - 200 L | 2.5 g | 15 Days |
| Vegetables | 400 g | 150 - 200 L | 2.0 g | 7 - 10 Days |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: For Paddy, apply when you see 5-10 hoppers per hill (Economic Threshold Level). Do not wait for "hopper burn" to appear.
- Mixing (Slurry Method): Since this is a Wettable Powder (WP), first mix the required quantity in a small bucket of water to make a smooth paste (slurry) before adding it to the main spray tank.
- Coverage: Use a "Hollow Cone Nozzle" to create a fine mist. This ensures the chemical penetrates deep into the crop canopy to reach pests hiding at the stem base.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Avoid spraying during active bee foraging hours.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is Odis effective against resistant BPH?
Yes. The combination of Acephate and Buprofezin
targets pests in two different ways, making it highly effective
even against hoppers that have developed resistance to
single-chemical sprays.
2. Can I mix Odis with fungicides?
Yes, Odis is generally compatible with most non-alkaline
fungicides and insecticides. However, do not mix it with
Bordeaux mixture or Lime Sulfur.
3. Is Odis safe for fish farming in paddy
fields?
No. Acephate is toxic to
aquatic life. Do not use Odis in paddy fields where you are
simultaneously rearing fish.
4. What is the rainfastness of Odis?
Odis is rainfast within 2-4 hours. The Acephate
component is absorbed rapidly by the plant, securing it against
wash-off.
5. Does it affect beneficial insects?
The Buprofezin component is relatively safe for
beneficials, but Acephate is broad-spectrum. It is recommended to
spray in the evening to minimize impact on pollinators like bees.
