Indofil Hogger is a strong insecticide that controls sucking pests in crops like cotton, paddy, and brinjal. It offers a systemic mode of action that works by targeting the pest nervous system by binding to essential receptors. This insecticide offers broad-spectrum control with complete crop coverage, providing strong protection for the best results.
Key Features and Benefits of Hogger Insecticide:
Broad-Spectrum: Indofil Hogger helps manage aphids, whiteflies, leaf hoppers, and many other pests for broad-spectrum control.
Systemic Action: This insecticide moves inside treated plant parts and helps control pests feeding on crop sap.
Translaminar Movement: This insecticide can move through treated leaf surfaces, helping reach pests present on the lower side of leaves.
Quick Feeding Stop: The Hogger insecticide helps stop pest feeding soon after contact or ingestion, reducing fresh crop damage.
Low-Dose Performance: Indofil Hogger works at a low gram dose, making it very cost-effective as well.
Rainfast Support: The Hogger insecticide remains useful after proper spray drying and supports field protection during light rain conditions.
Hogger Insecticide Uses:
Cotton: Indofil Hogger helps control aphids, whiteflies, and leaf hoppers that cause leaf curling, yellowing, honeydew, and weak crop growth.
Brinjal: Hogger insecticide supports control of jassids, aphids, and whiteflies on tender leaves, shoots, and growing parts.
Paddy: Indofil Hogger helps manage brown plant hopper, white-backed plant hopper, and green leaf hopper near the lower crop canopy.
Sap-Sucking Damage: Hogger insecticide helps reduce yellowing, curling, plant weakness, hopper burn, and sticky leaf symptoms.
Early Pest Management: Indofil Hogger is useful when pest activity starts, and crop damage is still low to moderate.
Indofil Hogger Insecticide Dose:
Use Indofil Hogger as a foliar spray with clean water and proper canopy coverage. Hogger insecticide dose per litre is around 0.17 gm per litre, based on 87 gm per hectare in 500 litres of water. For acre use, Hogger insecticide is around 35 gm per acre in about 200 litres of water. Spray Indofil Hogger evenly on leaves, tender shoots, and lower plant parts where sucking pests usually stay.

Cotton | Whitefly | ~35 gm | Spray on upper and lower leaf surfaces | Follow label |
Cotton | Leaf hopper | ~35 gm | Foliar spray during early pest pressure | Follow label |
Brinjal | Jassids | ~35 gm | Spray on tender leaves and shoots | Follow label |
Brinjal | Aphids and whitefly | ~35 gm | Uniform foliar spray | Follow label |

Paddy | White-backed plant hopper and green leaf hopper | ~35 gm | Foliar spray with good lower-canopy coverage | Follow label |
How to Use Indofil Hogger:
Measure the required quantity of Indofil Hogger as per crop area and pest pressure.
Fill the spray tank halfway with clean water.
Mix the measured Hogger insecticide quantity in a small amount of water first.
Add the prepared Indofil Hogger solution into the main spray tank.
Add the remaining water and stir the spray mixture properly.
Spray Hogger insecticide uniformly on the crop canopy.
Cover both upper and lower leaf surfaces for better pest control.
In paddy, direct Indofil Hogger spray toward the lower plant area where hoppers usually remain.
In cotton and brinjal, focus on tender leaves, shoots, and pest-active parts.
Apply Hogger insecticide when sucking pests are first noticed.
Avoid spraying during strong wind, rainfall, or very hot afternoon weather.
Use the prepared Indofil Hogger spray solution on the same day.
Best Time to Apply:
Apply Indofil Hogger when aphids, whiteflies, jassids, leaf hoppers, or plant hoppers are first seen in the crop. Hogger insecticide performs better when pest pressure is low to moderate, and the spray reaches pest-hiding areas. Morning or evening spraying is better because crop stress and spray loss are lower. Indofil Hogger should not be applied on wilted, waterlogged, or severely stressed crops.
Frequency of Application and Re-Entry Period:
Frequency of Application: One timely Hogger insecticide spray can help manage early to moderate sucking pest pressure. Repeat Indofil Hogger only if pest pressure continues and label guidance allows it.
Re-Entry Period: Do not enter the treated field for at least 24 hours after Hogger insecticide application without proper protective gear.
Compatibility: Indofil Hogger should not be mixed with unknown pesticides, fertilizers, micronutrients, or strong alkaline products without a jar test.
Application Care: Hogger insecticide gives better results when spray reaches lower leaf surfaces, tender crop parts, and hopper-active areas.
Resistance Care: Rotate Indofil Hogger with other suitable insecticide groups and avoid repeated use of the same chemistry in every spray cycle.
