Chlorpyrifos 25% + Thiram 25% DS

Chlorpyrifos 25% + Thiram 25% DS is a dry seed dressing (DS) formulation combining an organophosphate insecticide and a thiuram fungicide to provide comprehensive protection against soil-borne pests and fungal diseases. Designed for cereal, vegetable, and fruit tree seeds, this dual-action solution prevents damage from grubs, earthworms, root rot, and seed rot—promoting robust germination, healthier seedlings, and improved crop yields.

Technical Specifications

Thiram: Tetramethylthiuram disulfide
Target Pests Grubs, earthworms, soil-borne insects
Target Diseases Root rot, seed rot (fungal pathogens)

Mechanism of Action

Active Ingredient Mode of Action Outcome
Chlorpyrifos Inhibits acetylcholinesterase in pests, disrupting nerve transmission and causing paralysis/death. Controls grubs, earthworms, and other soil insects.
Thiram Disrupts fungal metabolism, inhibits spore germination, and prevents mycelial growth. Suppresses root rot and seed rot pathogens.

Key Benefits

  1. Dual Protection: Combines insecticidal and fungicidal actions for single-application control of pests and diseases.
  2. Germination Enhancement: Reduces seed and seedling mortality, leading to higher emergence rates and uniform plant stands.
  3. Cost-Efficient: Dry formulation minimizes waste, reduces labor costs, and ensures even seed coating.
  4. Environmental Safety: Lower risk of runoff compared to liquid treatments, with targeted action on seeds.
  5. Global Adaptability: Approved for use in Asia, Africa, South America, and the Middle East, with proven efficacy in diverse climates.

Application Guidelines

Crop Type Target Pest/Disease Dosage Application Method Timing
Cereals Grubs, root rot 2–4 g/kg seeds Dry seed dressing (coating) Before sowing, ensure uniform coverage
Vegetables Seed rot, earthworms 2–4 g/kg seeds Dry seed treatment Prior to planting
Fruit Trees Soil pests/fungal diseases 2–4 g/kg seeds Dry seed coating At pre-planting stage

 

Critical Tips:

 

  • Adjust dosage based on local pest/disease pressure and seed size.
  • Store treated seeds in cool, dry conditions and plant within 7 days for optimal efficacy.
  • Rotate with non-organophosphate insecticides and non-thiuram fungicides to manage resistance.

Safety & Storage

  • Personal Protection: Wear gloves, masks, and eye protection; avoid skin/eye contact.
  • Storage: Keep in original containers, sealed tightly, in a ventilated area away from food/feed.
  • First Aid: Rinse exposed areas with water; seek medical help if ingested or symptoms occur.
