EBS FOUNDER Buprofezin 15% + Acephate 35% WP, Long-Lasting and Effective Tool for BPH and WBPH in Rice

EBS FOUNDER Buprofezin 15% + Acephate 35% WP

1. Product Overview:

Buprofezin 15% + Acephate 35% WP (Wettable Powder) is a broad-spectrum insecticide formulation that offers dual-action control against chewing and sucking insect pests in various crops. The combination of Buprofezin (a chitin synthesis inhibitor) and Acephate (a systemic organophosphate insecticide) ensures long-lasting residual activity and quick knockdown of target pests.

• Buprofezin (15%) – An Insect Growth Regulator (IGR) that inhibits chitin synthesis, disrupting the molting process and stopping insect development.

• Acephate (35%) – A systemic organophosphate insecticide that acts as a cholinesterase inhibitor, disrupting the nervous system of insects, leading to paralysis and death.

• WP (Wettable Powder) Formulation – Ensures better adhesion, slow release, and enhanced effectiveness on treated crops.

2. Mode of Action:

This dual-active formulation provides both immediate and long-term pest control, making it highly effective against sucking and chewing insects.

✅ Buprofezin – Chitin Synthesis Inhibitor (Insect Growth Regulator - IGR)

• Prevents chitin formation, inhibiting molting and nymph development.

• Disrupts egg hatching, reducing the future pest population.

• Works effectively on nymph and immature insect stages, reducing long-term infestations.

✅ Acephate – Systemic and Contact Neurotoxic Action

• Absorbed by plant tissues, providing systemic protection.

• Inhibits acetylcholinesterase (AChE) enzyme, leading to nervous system dysfunction, paralysis, and death of pests.

• Works as a contact and stomach poison, ensuring quick knockdown and mortality of adult pests.

✅ Combined Benefits

• Immediate control from Acephate (neurotoxic action) and long-term suppression from Buprofezin (growth inhibition).

• Effective against both adults and immature stages, preventing pest resurgence.

• Lower risk of resistance development due to different modes of action.

3. Target Pests:
