PRODUCT INFORMATION
Pilan® 500SC is a low toxic, hightly cost-effective Insecticide used to control mealy bug, scales and whitefly.
Active Ingredient:
500g/litre buprofezin in the form of a suspension concentrate.
Target Pests:
- Scale insects.
- Mealybugs.
- Whitefly.
- Key point: Controls immature stages only (nymphs) — not adults.
How It Works:
- Interferes with moulting (chitin formation).
- Causes gradual population decline across generations.
- May reduce egg viability.
- Highly selective → safe on many beneficial insects (IPM-friendly).
Application Rates:
General Rate: (all crops).
- 25 ml / 100 L water (high-volume to runoff).
- Minimum 250 ml/ha applied.
Citrus (Scale).
- Water rate: 2500–3000 L/ha.
Timing:
- At first appearance.
- Repeat 10–14 days later.
- Then monthly if needed.
Grapes (Mealybug).
- Water: ≥1000 L/ha.
Programme:
- First spray at bud movement + 1% oil.
- Second spray 14–21 days later (no oil).
- Do NOT spray after flowering starts.
Persimmons (Mealybug).
- 2 sprays between green tip → bloom.
- Interval: 10–14 days.
Tamarillo: (Whitefly).
- Spray after pruning, before fruit set.
- Reapply at ≥28 day intervals.
- Threshold: >20 adults per leaf.
- Rotate with other chemistry for adult control.
Withholding Periods:

Resistance Management:
- Max 3 applications per crop per season.

- Especially important for whitefly control.
Safety Summary:

- May cause organ damage (long-term exposure).
- Very toxic to aquatic life.
Hazardous to:
- Soil organisms.
- Birds/vertebrates.
PPE required:
- Gloves, overalls, boots.
- Eye protection.
- Avoid inhalation.
Compatibility & Mixing:
- Compatible with most fungicides/insecticides.

- Bordeaux (strong alkaline products).
Practical Takeaways:
- Works best early (target crawler/nymph stage).
- Slow acting → don’t expect quick knockdown.
Excellent for:
- IPM programmes.
- Situations where beneficial insects matter.
- Often used in programme with oils or adulticides.
