FAQ for BOOL
Is BOOL specific to rice crop?
Yes, BOOL is specifically formulated for rice and is highly effective against Brown Plant Hopper — one of the most economically devastating sucking pests in paddy cultivation across Asia.
How does BOOL's dual combination work?
BOOL combines Buprofezin (chitin synthesis inhibitor targeting nymphal stages) with Fipronil (GABA antagonist providing rapid adult knockdown), delivering comprehensive two-stage Brown Plant Hopper control.
What advantage does BOOL have over single-molecule insecticides?
BOOL's dual combination reduces resistance development risk, provides broader pest stage coverage, delivers faster knockdown, and ensures prolonged residual activity compared to single-molecule insecticide products.
How should BOOL be applied in paddy fields?
Apply BOOL as a thorough foliar spray with sufficient water volume ensuring good plant base coverage. Apply when Brown Plant Hopper population exceeds the economic threshold level.
Does BOOL help prevent hopper resurgence?
Yes, Buprofezin in BOOL inhibits nymphal development and disrupts the hopper life cycle, significantly reducing Brown Plant Hopper resurgence risk — a common problem with adult-only killing insecticides.
