Bharat Certis Viper Plus is a broad-spectrum contact insecticide containing Alphacypermethrin 10% SC. Once it comes in contact with a pest or is ingested through treated plant tissue, it disrupts the insect's nervous system, causing rapid paralysis and death within hours. Alphacypermethrin 10% SC formulation ensures fine and uniform particle distribution on the leaf and surface areas, giving better coverage and longer residual adhesion. Viper Plus insecticide is a dual-use product — effective for controlling Bollworms in Cotton as an agricultural insecticide, and also widely used for household pest control against Mosquitoes, Houseflies, and Cockroaches. Alphacypermethrin 10% SC is a trusted and proven pest control solution for both farm and home use.

How To Use Viper Plus Insecticide— Application Instructions:
Shake the Viper Plus insecticide bottle well before measuring — SC formulations settle on standing.
Measure the required dose carefully into a clean measuring cup.
Pour clean water into the sprayer tank to about one-third capacity and add the measured dose.
Fill the remaining volume with clean water while stirring to form a uniform suspension.
Apply Alphacypermethrin 10% SC evenly across all plant surfaces, covering upper and lower leaf surfaces and stems.
For household use, mix 10 to 20 ml per liter of water and spray on target surfaces at approximately 1 liter per 50 square meters.
Flush the sprayer completely with clean water after every use before storing.
Best Time to Apply:
For crop use, spray Alphacypermethrin 10% SC in the early morning or late evening when temperatures are cool, and bees are not actively foraging. For household use, spray on target surfaces in the evening when pest activity is highest.
Frequency of Application & Re-Entry Period:
Frequency of Application: For crops, apply Alphacypermethrin 10% SC at the first sign of pest attack and repeat after 10 to 14 days if pest pressure continues. Limit to 2 to 3 applications per season. For household use, repeat every 2 to 4 weeks as needed.
Re-Entry Period: Do not enter treated fields for at least 24 hours after spraying without protective gear. For household use, keep the area ventilated for at least 30 minutes after indoor application.

Q1. What is Alphacypermethrin 10% SC used for?
Alphacypermethrin 10% SC controls Bollworms, Diamondback Moth, Aphids, Caterpillars, and other chewing and sucking pests in Cotton and Vegetables — and also controls Mosquitoes, Houseflies, and Cockroaches for household pest management.
Q2. How is Alphacypermethrin different from regular Cypermethrin?
Alphacypermethrin is composed of the two most active isomers of Cypermethrin and is two to three times more potent under field conditions, giving faster knockdown and more complete pest kill at significantly lower doses compared to standard Cypermethrin products.

Q4. How long does Viper Plus insecticide remain effective after spraying?
A single spray provides extended residual pest protection due to the SC formulation's fine particle size and strong adhesion to treated surfaces — longer than most conventional EC pyrethroid insecticides.
Q5. What is the best time to spray Viper Plus on crops?
Early morning or late evening when temperatures are cool, and bees are not actively foraging — avoid spraying during the flowering stage to protect pollinators and ensure maximum spray coverage.
