A sure shot organic solution for the damages of Brown Plant Hopper in Rice. Keep the rice crop free from BPH. A very effective new generation organic input for minimizing the damage of BPH in rice with multi pronged action on the pest. Repeated doses do not build resistance in the pest hence can be used repeatedly for the good results against BPH.
Benefits
MI CITRA is an organic liquid formulation that can be applied as a foliar spray, using ground application or aerial application (potatoes, legume vegetables and corn only) to control many important insect pests. MI CITRA can mix with water for application. Apply at the recommended rates when insect populations reach locally determined economic thresholds. Consult your local extension specialist or certified crop advisor to determine appropriate threshold levels for treatment in your area. Use sufficient water to obtain thorough, uniform coverage.
Use rate
250 ml per acre or 2 ml per ltr of water when first observed.

Damage symptoms
- Leaves turn to yellow and later brownish.
- “Hopper burn”.
- Presence of honeydew and sooty molds at the basal parts.
- More severe during panicle initiation stage.
Mode of action
- Build resistance blockers in resistance building chain.
- Attacks on nerve system of targeted pest.
- Strongest anti feeding activity forces the pest to stops feeding on the host.
- Epidermal ecdysiast have found of pest body.
- Pest body loosing calcium++ from body in the form of water and muscle contraction have found. act on the nervous system
- It disrupts proper muscle function in insects and therefore represents a novel, unique mode of action.
- Treated insects show unique symptoms of poisoning resulting in complete and irreversible contraction paralysis.
- The insects loose muscle control, stop feeding, and exhibit a pronounced contraction paralysis of the whole body. Typically, the larvae become immobile or movements are very restricted and extremely slow.
Cultural practices
- Monitoring of BPH at base of the plant 30 days after transplanting at weekly interval.
- Alternate wetting and drying the field during peak infestation.
- Apply recommended dose of nitrogen fertilizer.
Biological control
- Spray Mi Citra Dose- 2 ml per 1 litre of water or 250 ml per acre
Time of application
- The Mi Citra can apply when the number of eggs is few in the field will give the maximum effects to suppress population growth of BPH.
