FAQ for INDRA
What pests does INDRA control in rice?
INDRA controls stem borers, hispa (rice blue beetle), plant hoppers (BPH, WBPH), and gundhi bugs through its dual systemic neonicotinoid and contact pyrethroid modes of action in paddy.
Why is the Imidacloprid-Lambda Cyhalothrin combination beneficial?
Imidacloprid provides systemic protection against sucking pests while Lambda Cyhalothrin delivers rapid contact knockdown of chewing insects — together offering broad-spectrum rice pest control in one application.
How should INDRA be applied in rice?
Apply INDRA as a thorough foliar spray with adequate water volume ensuring good coverage of rice plants including stems. Apply at pest appearance or when economic threshold levels are crossed.
Is INDRA effective against BPH-resistant populations?
INDRA's dual-mode approach with two different mechanisms helps manage some resistance situations more effectively than single-molecule products, providing more reliable plant hopper control.
Can INDRA be used at all rice growth stages?
INDRA can be used from tillering through panicle initiation stages. Avoid application after panicle emergence to protect pollinating insects. Always follow label directions for timing and dosage.
