Frequently Asked Questions

How many pesticides are registered for use in India?

NaPanta covers 370 pesticides registered by the Central Insecticides Board & Registration Committee (CIB&RC) in India, including insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, nematicides and plant growth regulators.

What is a registered label dose for a pesticide?

A registered label dose is the official quantity of pesticide approved by CIB&RC for controlling a specific pest on a specific crop. It specifies the formulation amount per hectare, water volume, number of applications, and the pre-harvest waiting period. Using more than the registered dose is illegal and risks residue violations.

What is the pre-harvest waiting period (PHI) for pesticides?

The Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI) is the minimum number of days between the last pesticide application and harvest. It ensures that residue levels fall below the Maximum Residue Limit (MRL) by harvest time. PHI is listed on each pesticide detail page and varies by chemical, crop, and formulation.

How do I find the right pesticide for a specific pest or disease?

Browse by crop at the crop advisory section and select the specific pest or disease � each page lists registered pesticide options with dosage. Alternatively, search by pesticide type above (fungicides, insecticides, herbicides) to find all registered chemicals for a type.

Are all pesticides on NaPanta approved for use in India?

Yes. NaPanta only lists pesticides registered under the Insecticides Act 1968 by CIB&RC. Some registrations are crop-specific, so always check that the pesticide is registered for your specific crop and pest before using it. Verify current registration status at cibrc.nic.in.
