How Does Pymetrozine 50% WG Work?
- The plant absorbs the product and moves it through the leaves (systemic and translaminar action).
- When hoppers suck the sap, the product disrupts the nerve organs that control feeding.
- Insects stop feeding within about 1 hour and starve over the next few days.
- Stopping feeding prevents hopper burn and stops hoppers from spreading viruses.
- The product sits inside the plant, so protection continues after rain.
- It is safe on crops with excellent tolerance, and relatively safe for spiders and other natural enemies.
Pest-Crop-Dose Table
Dose per acre: 120 to 150 g. Method: Foliar spray.
| Crop | Pest |
|---|---|

| Mango | Hoppers |
How and When to Spray
| Crop | Best stage to spray |
|---|---|
| Paddy | From maximum tillering to booting, when BPH builds up at the base of the plant. Spray before the milky stage to prevent hopper burn and yield loss. |
| Mango | At panicle emergence, before flowering, when hoppers attack the new flower shoots. |
- A 150 g pack treats 1 acre. A 1 kg pack is enough for about 7 to 8 acres.
- Mixing with fungicide: farmers commonly mix it with tricyclazole or hexaconazole to handle BPH and blast or sheath blight in one spray. Do a jar test first and do not mix it with alkaline products.
Safety for Bees and Beneficial Insects
No bee-safety claim is made for this product. It is relatively safe for spiders and other natural enemies. As a general label precaution, avoid spraying when bees are active or crops are in open flowering, and follow the pack label.

Jab chawal ke paudhon par BPH ka hamla hua, ye dawa kaam aayi. Do din mein saare kide mar gaye aur fasal ko koi nuksan nahi hua.
Meri cotton ki fasal mein safed makhiyan bahut zyada thi. Is dawa ne unka ant kar diya.
Is dawa ko spray karne ke baad lagatar chhidkav ki zarurat nahi padti. Paani aur samay dono bach gaya.
Pymetrozine 50 wg is top for bph control
I only had to spray it once and it protected my crop for a long time. The translaminar action is a real bonus.
