Pymetro Plus 50% WG – Effective Brown Plant Hopper Control

Pymetro Plus 50% WG is a systemic insecticide specially formulated to control sap-sucking pests in rice and other crops. Its active ingredient, Pymetrozine 50%, works by disrupting the feeding behaviour of pests like Brown Plant Hopper (BPH), White-Backed Planthopper (WBPH), and Green Leafhopper (GLH). Even pests not directly hit by the spray gradually stop feeding and die, ensuring comprehensive protection across the crop canopy.

This insecticide is highly recommended for rice cultivation, where BPH infestations can severely reduce yields. Pymetro Plus 50% WG is compatible with integrated pest management programs, making it an environmentally responsible choice. Its water-dispersible granule (WG) formulation ensures easy mixing and uniform application. Using the recommended dose can prevent pest resurgence while safeguarding beneficial insects and crop health.

Farmers benefit from reduced crop damage, higher yields, and lower labor costs due to efficient pest control. Pymetro Plus can also be used on mango crops to manage sap-sucking pests effectively.
