Product Information
Mode of Action
Flubendiamide activates ryanodine receptors in the insect’s muscle cells. This activation causes the uncontrolled release of stored calcium ions, leading to sustained muscle contraction, paralysis, immediate cessation of feeding, and death.
Target Pests
- Paddy Stem Borer (Scirpophaga incertulas)
- Sugarcane Stem Borer
Recommended Dosage
| Crop | Pest | Dosage (kg/ha) | Dilution |
|---|---|---|---|
| Paddy (Rice) | Stem Borer | 12.14 – 14.28 | NA (Broadcast) |
| Sugarcane | Stem Borer | Refer to product label | |
Dosage Note: Dosage refers to **Kilograms (kg)** of formulation per hectare. This is a granular product for broadcasting; no water dilution is required.
Application Instructions
1. Application Method
Broadcast: Apply the granules uniformly across the field. For paddy, maintain a standing water level of 2-3 inches for 3-5 days after application to ensure effective dissolution and uptake by the plant.
2. Timing
Apply preventively or at the early stages of stem borer infestation (dead heart stage). The systemic action protects the plant from inside against larvae boring into the stem.
Safety Precautions
Warning: Wear gloves and protective boots while applying granules. Do not drain water from the field immediately after application. Toxic to aquatic invertebrates.
