Dinotefuran Pymetrozine WG
Dinotefuran Pymetrozine WG is a premium water dispersible granule insecticide that combines two powerful active ingredients — Dinotefuran 15% and Pymetrozine 45% — into one synergistic, dual-action formulation. Specifically developed for managing the most damaging hopper pests in paddy, it is one of the most trusted solutions available to rice farmers dealing with Brown Plant Hopper (BPH) and related sucking pests that cause severe yield loss through both direct feeding and disease transmission.
How Dinotefuran Pymetrozine WG Works
This insecticide works through two completely different and complementary modes of action simultaneously. Dinotefuran, a third-generation neonicotinoid, acts systemically — it is absorbed by the plant and moves through its tissues, disrupting the nervous system of insects that feed on the treated crop by blocking acetylcholine receptors, leading to paralysis and death. Pymetrozine works differently — it inhibits the feeding behaviour of sucking pests by interfering with the insect’s ability to probe and suck sap from plant tissue, causing the pest to starve and die even without direct nerve toxicity. Together, these two modes of attack give comprehensive control that is far more difficult for pest populations to develop resistance against than single-mode insecticides.
Why Farmers Choose This Insecticide
One of the most critical advantages of Dinotefuran Pymetrozine WG is its effectiveness against resistant BPH populations — a growing challenge for paddy farmers across India who have relied heavily on older insecticide groups for many years. Brown Plant Hopper is notorious for developing resistance quickly, making it one of the hardest paddy pests to manage consistently over multiple seasons. Because this product combines a third-generation neonicotinoid with a feeding inhibitor acting on a completely separate mechanism, it overcomes this resistance effectively.
Beyond BPH control, this insecticide also shows excellent translaminar activity, allowing it to penetrate the leaf surface and reach pests feeding on the underside of leaves and within the crop canopy where direct spray contact is harder to achieve. It also promotes healthy tiller development at the reproductive stage, which directly supports better grain filling and overall crop productivity. Being rainfast shortly after application, it remains effective even during the unpredictable monsoon weather conditions that paddy farmers regularly deal with in India.
Key Benefits
- Controls BPH, WBPH, Green Leaf Hopper, and Rice Ear Head Bug
- Dual mode of action — systemic disruption and feeding inhibition together
- Effective against resistant BPH populations where other insecticides fail
- Translaminar activity reaches pests deep within the crop canopy
- Promotes healthy tiller development at reproductive stage
- Rainfast formulation for reliable protection in monsoon conditions
- Reduces egg-laying capacity in pests for longer-term population control
Why Crop Nutrition Matters Alongside Pest Control
Paddy crops recovering from hopper pest pressure benefit greatly from nutritional support to regain healthy growth. Products like Humic Acid 98% Flakes help strengthen root development and improve soil health, while Power PGR Liquid supports better tillering, flowering, and grain setting for higher final yield at harvest.
Safety Tips & Precautions
- Apply at the early signs of hopper infestation for best results — do not wait for heavy pest build-up
- Ensure thorough spray coverage of the lower crop canopy where BPH typically congregates
- Wear gloves, mask, and protective clothing while mixing and spraying
- Avoid direct contact with skin and eyes during application
- Do not spray during active bee foraging periods
- Maintain the recommended pre-harvest interval before harvesting for market
- Wash hands and exposed skin thoroughly with soap after spraying
- Keep away from children, animals, and food or feed storage areas
Storage Instructions
Store Dinotefuran Pymetrozine WG in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the container tightly sealed and out of reach of children and animals.
