Himalya-505 Insecticide contains Chlorpyrifos 50% + Cypermethrin 5% EC, a combination insecticide formulated for broad-spectrum management of important chewing, boring and other susceptible insect pests in agricultural crops.
The formulation combines the contact, stomach and vapour activity associated with Chlorpyrifos with the rapid knockdown action of Cypermethrin. This complementary activity helps reduce pest feeding and crop damage when the product is applied at the recommended crop stage and dosage.
Himalya-505 is suitable for use in crops such as cotton, paddy, chilli, sugarcane, maize, vegetables, pulses and other label-recommended crops. It can help manage pests including stem borers, leaf-eating caterpillars, cutworms, bollworms, armyworms, termites and leaf folders.
The emulsifiable concentrate formulation is designed for dilution in water and foliar spraying, allowing uniform crop coverage when used with suitable spray equipment.

Mix the required quantity of Himalya-505 in clean water according to the crop-specific recommendation on the product label. Apply as a uniform foliar spray and ensure adequate coverage of the crop canopy and pest-infested plant parts.
Application is generally most useful when target pests are first observed or at the crop stage recommended on the label. Do not exceed the label-recommended dosage.
Chlorpyrifos acts by inhibiting the enzyme acetylcholinesterase in susceptible insects. This interferes with normal transmission of nerve impulses and ultimately causes paralysis and death.
Cypermethrin is a synthetic pyrethroid that acts on sodium channels in the insect nervous system. It disrupts normal nerve function and helps provide rapid knockdown of susceptible pests.
The combination of these two active ingredients provides complementary insecticidal activity against a broad range of target pests when used according to label guidance.
