Fenobucarb (BPMC) 50% EC:
Fenobucarb (BPMC) 50% EC is a broad-spectrum carbamate insecticide formulated as an Emulsifiable Concentrate (EC). It is a fast-acting contact insecticide widely recognized for its superior control over hopper complexes in Rice (Paddy). It provides a rapid "knockdown" effect against both nymphs and adults of sucking pests. Due to its moderately long residual activity and non-systemic nature, it is an excellent choice for clearing pest populations instantly upon contact, preventing severe crop damage during critical growth stages.
Mode of Action:
Fenobucarb 50% EC functions primarily through contact and stomach action.
AChE Inhibition: It acts as an inhibitor of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in the insect's nervous system.
Nerve Disruption: By blocking this enzyme, it causes an accumulation of acetylcholine at the nerve synapses, leading to continuous and uncontrolled nerve impulse transmission.
Paralysis: This overstimulation results in tremors, paralysis, and the rapid death of the pest. Its strong contact action ensures that pests stop feeding almost immediately after being sprayed.
Primary Uses and Target Crops:
This insecticide is the "Gold Standard" for controlling planthoppers in rice but is also effective in cotton, vegetables, and plantations.
Key target crops include:
Cereals: Rice (Paddy) - Major use
Fiber Crops: Cotton
Vegetables: Brinjal (Eggplant), Tomato, Chili, Okra
Fruits: Mango, Citrus, Grapes
Plantations: Tea, Coffee
Application and Dosage:
Fenobucarb 50% EC is mixed with water and applied as a foliar spray. Direct contact with the pest is essential for maximum efficacy.
The recommended dosage varies by crop:
Rice (Paddy): To control Brown Plant Hopper (BPH), Green Leaf Hopper (GLH), and White Backed Plant Hopper (WBPH), use 350 to 500 ml per acre.
Method: Direct the spray toward the base of the plant (clumps) where hoppers usually congregate.
Cotton: For Bollworms, Aphids, and Thrips, use 300 to 400 ml per acre.
Vegetables: To control Leafhoppers and Aphids, use 300 to 400 ml per acre.
Mango: For Mango Hoppers, use 1.5 ml to 2 ml per liter of water.
General Mixing Rate: A common mixing rate is 2 ml to 2.5 ml per liter of water.
Target Pests:
This insecticide is highly specialized for Homopteran pests (hoppers) and certain other sucking/chewing insects.
Commonly controlled pests include:
Brown Plant Hopper (BPH)
Green Leaf Hopper (GLH)
White Backed Plant Hopper (WBPH)
Tea Mosquito Bug
Aphids
Leafhoppers
Thrips
Bollworms (Suppression)
Safety Precautions:
Strict adherence to safety precautions is essential.
Key safety recommendations include:
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Wear protective clothing, rubber gloves, boots, goggles, and a face mask during mixing and spraying. Avoid skin contact and inhalation of vapors.
Handling Practices: Do not eat, drink, or smoke when using the product. Wash hands and exposed skin thoroughly with soap and water after use.
Antidote: Atropine Sulphate is the known antidote (to be administered by a medical professional).
Environmental Safety: This product is toxic to fish and aquatic organisms. Do not apply directly to water bodies (except paddy fields as per recommendation) or clean equipment near streams.
Storage:
Store the product in its original container in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place, away from direct sunlight, moisture, food, and animal feed. Keep strictly out of reach of children and uninformed persons.
