Item description
Victor Plus Insecticide (Imidacloprid 70% WG) - Expert Sucking Pest Control
Get powerful, systemic protection for Cotton, Paddy, and Vegetables against Aphids, Jassids, and Hoppers.
Victor Plus (by Insecticides India Ltd) is a high-concentration systemic insecticide containing Imidacloprid 70% WG. Unlike older powders, these advanced water-dispersible granules dissolve instantly to provide rapid control of sucking pests. It works from the inside out, protecting the entire plant—even new leaves that grow after spraying. It is also highly effective as a non-repellent termiticide for soil and building foundations.
Why Choose Victor Plus? Key Benefits
- ⏱️ Rapid Knockdown Action: Stops insects from feeding immediately upon contact, preventing further crop damage.
- ?️ Long-Lasting Systemic Protection: Moves upward through the plant (xylem mobile), providing 10–14 days of protection, even on new growth.
- ⏳ Economical Low Dosage: High concentration (70%) means you need very little product (12–15g per acre), reducing transport and handling costs.
- ?️ Excellent Rainfastness: Quickly absorbed into the leaf tissue. Once dry, it cannot be washed off by rain or irrigation.
- ? Virus Vector Control: Effectively kills Whiteflies and Aphids that spread viral diseases like Leaf Curl and Mosaic Virus.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Victor Plus targets the Central Nervous System (CNS) of the insect. It mimics natural nerve signals but binds irreversibly to the receptors.
- Systemic Absorption: Upon spraying, the granules dissolve and penetrate the leaf surface (translaminar action) to reach pests hiding underneath.
- Nerve Disruption: It binds to the Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors (nAChRs) in the insect's nervous system.
- Paralysis & Elimination: This causes continuous nerve firing (hyperexcitation), leading to paralysis and the death of the pest.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|

Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results. The product is highly concentrated, so accurate weighing is essential.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cotton / Okra | 12 - 15 g | 150 - 200 L | 0.075 g | 3 - 7 Days |
| Rice (Paddy) | 12 - 15 g | 150 - 200 L | 0.075 g | 7 Days |
| Tomato / Potato | 20 - 35 g | 200 L | 0.1 - 0.18 g | 3 - 5 Days |
*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 vegetative stage (20–40 days after sowing) or as soon as pests cross the Economic Threshold Level (ETL).
- Mixing: Premix the granules in a small bucket of water to ensure they dissolve completely before adding to the main tank.
- Coverage: Ensure the spray reaches the underside of leaves for aphids/whiteflies and the base of the plant stem for Brown Plant Hoppers (BPH).
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Avoid spraying during flowering to protect honeybees.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does Victor Plus control termites?
Yes. It acts as a non-repellent termiticide. For
structural/soil use, dissolve approx. 0.7g to 2.1g per litre of
water to create a chemical barrier.
2. Is this safe for Honeybees?
No, Imidacloprid is toxic to bees. Do not spray during the
active flowering stage or when bees are foraging (spray in
the late evening).
3. Can I use it for "Hopper Burn" in
Paddy?
Yes, it is highly effective
against BPH which causes hopper burn. Ensure the spray
penetrates to the water level where hoppers reside.
4. Can I mix Victor Plus with other chemicals?
Do not mix with other Neonicotinoids (Group 4A). For
resistance management, rotate with different chemical groups like
Pymetrozine or Diafenthiuron.
5. What is the antidote if swallowed?
There is no specific antidote; treatment is
symptomatic. Note: Oximes (like 2-PAM) are
contraindicated and should NOT be used.
