FMC Corprima is a strong insecticide that is effective against a wide range of pests like fruit borers, shoots, and many others. It offers systemic action, which works by disrupting insect muscle regulation by binding to ryanodine receptors, causing a continuous release of calcium ions, causing paralysis and eventual death of the pest. The FMC Corprima insecticide is highly effective as it offers strong resistance management and long-lasting protection for the best results.

FMC Corprima Dose — Recommended Dose:
The Corprima Insecticide Dose Per Litre is approximately 0.2–0.3 gm per litre of water — equivalent to 17–34 gm per acre and 4–6 gm per 15L pump.
Crop | Target Pest | Dose Per Acre | Per 15L Pump | Per Litre | PHI |
Tomato | Fruit Borer, Spodoptera, Leaf Miner | 17–34 gm | 4–6 gm | 0.2–0.3 gm | 3 days |
Okra | Shoot and Fruit Borer, Spodoptera | 17–34 gm | 4–6 gm | 0.2–0.3 gm | 3 days |
How To Use FMC Corprima Insecticide:
Measure the required dose of Corprima insecticide as per the crop-wise dose table above — 17–34 gm per acre.
Pre-dissolve the WDG granules in a small bucket of water first and stir until fully dissolved before adding to the sprayer tank — this ensures uniform distribution in the spray solution.
Fill the tank with the remaining clean water — 150–200 litres per acre — and mix well before spraying.
Apply at the egg-laying stage or at the very first sign of pest activity — when you see the first signs of flower drop or fruit damage.
Use a hollow cone nozzle for thorough spray coverage on both upper and lower leaf surfaces, into the flower zone, and over developing fruit.
Spray during early morning or late evening — avoid peak midday heat and strong wind conditions for best absorption.
Do not mix with strongly alkaline chemicals like Bordeaux mixture.
Wash hands and all exposed skin thoroughly after using FMC Corprima.
Best Time to Apply:
Apply Corprima insecticide in the early morning or late evening. The optimum window is at the egg-laying stage or the first sign of pest activity — applying at the early larval stage gives the strongest ovi-larvicidal effect. For Tomato Fruit Borer, begin sprays from the flowering stage when adult moths start laying eggs on developing flower clusters.
Frequency of Application and Re-Entry Period:
Frequency of Application: Apply at the first sign of pest activity or at the egg-laying stage. FMC Corprima provides 18–21 days of residual control — do not exceed 2 applications per season in the same crop. Always rotate Corprima insecticide with products from a different IRAC group after each application window.
Re-Entry Period: Do not enter treated fields for at least 12 hours after spraying without proper protective gear.
Tank-Mix Compatibility: Corprima insecticide can be tank-mixed with compatible pesticides and fertilizers. Always conduct a jar compatibility test before mixing. Do not mix with highly alkaline chemicals. Always follow the product label for tank-mix guidance.
Safety Precautions and Handling:
Wear personal protective equipment — gloves, mask, and goggles — while applying FMC Corprima.
Do not eat, drink, or smoke during mixing or application.
Avoid direct contact with skin and eyes — rinse immediately with clean water if contact occurs.
Overusing Corprima insecticide is harmful to crops and the environment — never exceed the recommended dose.
