RATNAINDOXA
Cypermethrin 10% + Indoxacarb 10% SC
RATNAINDOXA (Cypermethrin 10% + Indoxacarb 10% SC) is an innovative dual-mode combination insecticide from Ratnakar India Ltd, Ahmedabad — India's premier agrochemical manufacturer, supplier, and exporter. Cypermethrin (pyrethroid, contact) and Indoxacarb (oxadiazine, bioactivated sodium channel blocker) deliver powerful complementary action, providing superior control of jassids, thrips, and bollworms in cotton. Indoxacarb is selectively bioactivated inside target insects for enhanced selectivity. Manufactured and exported by Ratnakar India from Gujarat, RATNAINDOXA offers cotton farmers a high-performance resistance-managing combination that simultaneously controls both sucking pests (jassids, thrips) and bollworms with a single effective application.

FAQ for RATNAINDOXA
How do Cypermethrin and Indoxacarb work together in RATNAINDOXA?
Cypermethrin causes immediate sodium channel paralysis, while Indoxacarb is bioactivated inside insects to block sodium channels via a different mechanism — together providing fast knockdown and sustained residual control.
Which pests does RATNAINDOXA control in cotton?
RATNAINDOXA controls jassids, thrips, and bollworms in cotton — addressing both the sucking pest complex and bollworm complex simultaneously with a single convenient spray application.
What is special about Indoxacarb's mode of action?
Indoxacarb is a pro-insecticide bioactivated by insect esterases to its active metabolite DCJW, which selectively blocks insect sodium channels with high selectivity and reduced mammalian toxicity.
Does RATNAINDOXA help in resistance management?
Yes, the combination of two different sodium channel blocking agents (Cypermethrin + Indoxacarb) at different binding sites helps manage resistance, especially in pyrethroid-resistant bollworm populations.
Can RATNAINDOXA replace two separate spray applications?
Yes, RATNAINDOXA's broad-spectrum action covering sucking pests and bollworms can effectively replace separate pyrethroid and oxadiazine applications, saving farmers time and overall spraying costs.
