Buprofezin is a specialized, broad-spectrum Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) widely used in agriculture, available in25% Suspension Concentrate (SC) and 70% Dry Flowable (DF) formulations. It acts by inhibiting chitin synthesis, disrupting the molting process, and preventing nymphal stages from reaching adulthood, primarily targeting sap-sucking insects.
Key Agricultural Benefits
Highly Selective Action: It specifically targets harmful sap-sucking pests (nymphs) while having minimal impact on beneficial insects, such as pollinators and predatory mites, making it ideal for Integrated Pest Management (IPM).
Long-Lasting Residual Effect: Buprofezin provides 34 weeks of residual control, reducing the need for frequent repeat applications.
Effective on Resistant Populations: Due to its unique mechanism of disrupting chitin synthesis, it is effective against pests that have developed resistance to organophosphates and synthetic pyrethroids.
Suppresses Future Generations: It acts on eggs and suppresses oviposition (egg-laying) in adults, breaking the reproductive cycle of the pest.
Crop Safety & Systemic Action: When applied as a foliar spray (especially the 25% SC formulation), it is absorbed by the foliage to provide systemic control of feeding insects. It is generally safe for crops like rice, cotton, vegetables, and fruit trees.
Low Toxicity: It has low toxicity to mammals, birds, and fish, making it environmentally compatible.
Target Pests and Crops
Buprofezin is highly effective againstHomopteran pests:
Pests: Whiteflies, Brown Plant Hopper (BPH), White-backed Plant Hopper (WBPH), Green Leaf Hopper, Mealybugs, Aphids, Scale insects, and Psylla.
Crops: Rice, Cotton, Chillies, Grapes, Mango, Potato, Citrus, and various vegetables.
Formulation-Specific Benefits
25% SC (Suspension Concentrate): Offers excellent stability, easy mixing, and high efficacy against nymphs when applied as a foliar spray.
70% DF (Dry Flowable): Provides a higher concentration of active ingredients for robust control, with high purity and easy dispersion, ensuring consistent field performance.
Best Usage Practices
Application Timing: Apply during the early stages of infestation, specifically when nymphs are present.
Coverage: Ensure thorough, uniform coverage on both sides of the leaves for best contact action.
Rotation: To prevent resistance, it is advised to rotate with insecticides that have different modes of action.
