Active chemistry and physiological mode of action
- Powered by Pyrifluquinazon, a novel chordotonal organ modulator that disrupts insect sensory mechanoreceptors.
- Causes target sucking pests to lose coordination and experience immediate, irreversible feeding cessation within minutes.
- Although insects may remain on leaves briefly, they can no longer suck plant sap or transmit destructive crop viruses, starving to death.
Target pests and labeled crop applications
- Chilli: Controls challenging thrips complexes (including Thrips parvispinus and Scirtothrips dorsalis), reducing leaf curl.
- Cotton: Manages early and mid-season sucking pests including whiteflies, jassids, and aphids.
- Vegetables: Protects tomato, brinjal, and cucurbit crops against whitefly vectors and aphids.
- Features translaminar movement that penetrates leaf tissues to control hidden pests on leaf undersides.
Application timing and IPM integration
- Apply at the early surge of sucking pest populations when field scouting reveals thresholds being crossed.
- Ensure uniform foliar coverage with clean water using calibrated spray equipment and hollow-cone nozzles.
- Adhere strictly to CIBRC approved label dosages, observe pre-harvest intervals, and rotate with different chemical classes.

Common questions
What is the primary target of Rashinban insecticide?
It targets difficult sucking pests, particularly thrips, whiteflies, aphids, and jassids in chilli, cotton, and vegetables.
How does Pyrifluquinazon kill sucking pests?
It disrupts chordotonal sensory organs, causing rapid cessation of sap feeding, leading to starvation.
Is Rashinban effective against invasive black thrips in chilli?
Yes, it is formulated to deliver high efficacy against resistant and invasive thrips species.
Where can farmers check approved dosages for Rashinban?
On the product container label and through the official CIBRC portal (cibrc.nic.in).
