Insecticide + IGR
FLUBENDIAMIDE 4% + BUPROFEZIN 20% SC
A strategic combination of a diamide insecticide and an insect growth regulator (IGR). It provides comprehensive control of both chewing and sucking pests by offering immediate larval control along with long-term population suppression through growth disruption.
Active: Flubendiamide + Buprofezin
Formulation: SC (Suspension Concentrate)
Action: Dual (Paralysis + Molt Inhibition)
Product Information
Mode of Action
Flubendiamide disrupts muscle function via ryanodine receptors causing feeding cessation and paralysis in chewing pests. Buprofezin inhibits chitin biosynthesis, preventing molting and reproduction in sucking pests. This multi-stage action manages complex pest infestations.
Target Pests
- Bollworms (Helicoverpa armigera)
- Whiteflies (Bemisia tabaci)
- Planthoppers (Nilaparvata lugens, Sogatella furcifera)
- Stem borers (Scirpophaga incertulas)
- Mealybugs
Key Benefits
Simultaneous control of Stem Borers (chewing) and Planthoppers (sucking) in Rice crops, reducing the need for tank mixing.
Recommended Dosage
| Crop(s) | Target Pest | Dosage / Ha (gm) | Water (L/Ha) | Waiting Period (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paddy (Rice) | Yellow stem borer, Leaf folder, Brown plant hopper | 175 + 700 | 500 | 30 |
Dosage Note: The dosage is specified as “175 + 700”, indicating the recommended rate (likely referring to active ingredient ratio or combined formulation components). Ensure proper calibration.
Application Instructions
1. Application Timing
Apply when both chewing (borers/folders) and sucking pests (hoppers) are observed. The product works best when applied at the early stages of infestation.
2. Water Management (Rice)
For Paddy application, maintain a small layer of standing water or ensure the spray reaches the base of the culm where hoppers reside, while also covering the foliage for stem borers.
Safety Precautions
Harvest Interval: Strictly observe the 30-day waiting period for Paddy before harvesting.
Handling: Wear full protective gear including gloves, mask, and goggles. Do not spray near fish ponds as aquatic life may be sensitive.
