Product Information
Mode of Action
Triflumezopyrim acts as a novel nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) modulator. It disrupts nerve signal transmission in pests, leading to paralysis and death. It is highly effective against pests that have developed resistance to other chemical classes.
Target Pests
- Brown plant hopper (Nilaparvata lugens)
- White backed plant hopper (Sogatella furcifera)
- Mango Hoppers (Idioscopus spp.)
Registered Crops
While widely effective on many crops (Field crops, Vegetables, Fruits), its primary recommendation is for Paddy and Mango.
Recommended Dosage
| Crop(s) | Target Pest | Dosage | Water Volume | Waiting Period (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paddy | Brown plant hopper & White backed plant hopper | 236 ml / Ha | 500 L / Ha | 21 |
| Mango | Hoppers (Idioscopus spp.) | 23.6 ml / 100 L water | 1000 L / Ha (approx) | 30 |
Important: For Mango, the dosage is concentration-based (23.6 ml per 100 Liters of water). Ensure thorough coverage of the tree canopy.
Application Instructions
1. Timing
Apply at the appearance of hoppers. For Paddy, it is crucial to target the base of the plant where hoppers reside. For Mango, apply before flowering or at the early stage of panicle emergence to prevent hopper damage.
2. Translaminar Action
This product exhibits translaminar movement, meaning it penetrates the leaf tissue to kill pests hiding on the underside of leaves, providing comprehensive protection.
Safety Precautions
Harvest Intervals: Observe a waiting period of 21 days for Paddy and 30 days for Mango.
Handling: Wear appropriate protective clothing (gloves, mask, goggles) during mixing and application. Do not apply near water bodies to protect aquatic life.
