RATNA-BPMC
Fenobucarb (BPMC) 50% EC
RATNA-BPMC (Fenobucarb BPMC 50% EC) is a carbamate insecticide from Ratnakar India Ltd, Ahmedabad — India's trusted agrochemical manufacturer, supplier, and exporter. Fenobucarb inhibits acetylcholinesterase through stomach and contact action, controlling Brown Plant Hoppers and Green Leaf Hoppers in rice effectively. RATNA-BPMC is a proven and reliable carbamate insecticide for rice hopper management, particularly valued where hopper populations threaten significant yield losses. Manufactured and exported by Ratnakar India from Gujarat, RATNA-BPMC provides reliable BPH and GLH control and represents a different chemical class for resistance management rotation with neonicotinoids and pyrethroids in paddy.

FAQ for RATNA-BPMC
What plant hopper species does RATNA-BPMC control?
RATNA-BPMC controls Brown Plant Hopper (Nilaparvata lugens) and Green Leaf Hopper (Nephotettix virescens) — two major hopper pests responsible for significant rice yield and quality losses.
How does Fenobucarb (BPMC) work?
Fenobucarb inhibits acetylcholinesterase enzyme in insects, causing accumulation of acetylcholine at nerve synapses, leading to continuous nerve stimulation, rapid paralysis, and death of target hopper pests.
When should RATNA-BPMC be applied in paddy?
Apply RATNA-BPMC when plant hopper populations exceed economic threshold levels (typically 5–10 hoppers per hill). Early application prevents population outbreaks and associated crop yield losses.
Is RATNA-BPMC useful for resistance management?
Yes, Fenobucarb's carbamate chemistry provides a different mode of action (AChE inhibitor) compared to neonicotinoids and pyrethroids, making it valuable in rotation-based hopper resistance management programs.
What is the recommended dosage of RATNA-BPMC?
Follow label dilution recommendations for the 50% EC formulation. RATNA-BPMC is available in 500ml and 1 litre packs. Consult Ratnakar India agronomists for field-specific application guidance.
