FAQ for RATNAPHATE PLUS
How do the two actives in RATNAPHATE PLUS complement each other?
Buprofezin inhibits nymphal development (chitin synthesis inhibitor) while Acephate provides systemic neurotoxic activity against adults — together covering all plant hopper life stages comprehensively.
Which rice pests does RATNAPHATE PLUS target?
RATNAPHATE PLUS specifically targets Brown Plant Hopper (BPH) and White Back Plant Hopper (WBPH) — the two most economically damaging hopper pests in rice production.
Does RATNAPHATE PLUS prevent hopper resurgence?
Yes, Buprofezin's effect on nymphal development disrupts the pest life cycle, reducing the likelihood of plant hopper resurgence compared to adult-only killing conventional insecticides.
How is RATNAPHATE PLUS applied in paddy?
Dissolve RATNAPHATE PLUS WP in water and apply as a thorough foliar spray targeting the base of rice plants where hoppers are present. Apply when hopper population exceeds threshold.
Is RATNAPHATE PLUS useful in resistance management?
Yes, the dual IGR + AChE inhibitor combination provides two different modes of action, making RATNAPHATE PLUS useful for managing hopper populations with resistance to single-mode insecticides.
