About Deltamethrin 0.72% + Buprofezin 5.65% EC
Deltamethrin 0.72% + Buprofezin 5.65% EC is a
broad-spectrum, dual-action insecticide combining a fast-acting nerve poison (Deltamethrin) with a growth regulator (Buprofezin). It effectively controls Brown Plant Hopper (BPH), Leaf Folder, and resistant pests in rice by killing nymphs, inhibiting molting, and causing sterility.
- Dual Mode of Action: Combines contact/stomach action (Deltamethrin) with larvicidal/growth regulator action (Buprofezin).
- Broad-Spectrum Control: Effective against a wide range of pests, particularly Homoptera and Coleoptera.
- Targeted Pest Control: Highly effective against Brown Plant Hopper (BPH) and Leaf Folder in paddy.
- Resistance Management: Excellent for controlling resistant and tolerant hopper populations.
- Growth Regulator Properties: Buprofezin inhibits the molting of nymphs and larvae, leading to death, and suppresses egg-laying, causing sterile eggs.
- Fast Knockdown: Deltamethrin provides quick relief from pest infestation
Dual Action for Integrated Pest ManagementThis product combines deltamethrin and buprofezin to deliver a dual mode of action, attacking the nervous system of insects while inhibiting chitin synthesis. It is particularly effective against resistant populations and provides extended control over whiteflies, leafhoppers, jassids, and other sucking pests commonly found in cotton, rice, and vegetable crops.
User-Friendly Liquid FormulationThe emulsifiable concentrate formulation is easy to dilute and apply, forming a stable emulsion in water. It can be applied as a foliar spray using a knapsack or tractor-mounted sprayer, ensuring thorough coverage and enhanced pest control efficiency on field and horticultural crops.
Safe and Reliable StorageDeltamethrin 0.72% + Buprofezin 5.65% EC is stable when stored in its original, unopened HDPE bottles or drums in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place away from direct sunlight. Under recommended conditions, it retains its efficacy for up to two years from the manufacturing date.
FAQ's of Deltamethrin 0.72% + Buprofezin 5.65% EC:
Q: How do I use Deltamethrin 0.72% + Buprofezin 5.65% EC effectively on my crops?
A: Dilute the recommended amount of the product in water to form an emulsion, and uniformly apply it as a foliar spray using a knapsack or tractor-mounted sprayer. Ensure thorough wetting of plant surfaces for maximum pest control on cotton, rice, or vegetable crops.
Q: What pests can this insecticide combination control?
A: It is effective against a range of sucking pests such as whiteflies, leafhoppers, jassids, aphids, and other sap-feeding insects commonly found in agricultural crops like cotton, rice, and vegetables.
Q: When is the best time to apply this product?
A: Apply during the early stage of pest infestation or as soon as pests are noticed. Early and timely application helps interrupt pest life cycles and prevents population build-up, maximizing crop health and yield.
Q: Where should I store the product and for how long is it effective?
A: Store the product in its original, unopened HDPE packaging in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place away from direct sunlight. It remains stable and effective for up to two years from the date of manufacture under these conditions.
Q: What are the benefits of using this particular insecticide combination?
A: The dual action - nervous system disruption by deltamethrin and chitin synthesis inhibition by buprofezin - provides robust, extended control over resistant and mixed pest populations, supporting integrated pest management with reduced risk of resistance development.
Q: Is the product compatible with other crop protection chemicals?
A: Yes, it is compatible with most commonly used insecticides and fungicides, making it convenient to integrate into existing crop protection schedules without adverse reactions.
Q: Are there any safety precautions needed when handling this chemical?
A: Yes, as it is classified as moderately hazardous (WHO Class II), always wear protective clothing and avoid direct contact. Follow label instructions and local guidelines for safe storage, handling, and application.
