The Threat of Brown Planthopper

Brown planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens) is one of the most destructive pests of rice plants in Indonesia. This pest not only directly damages plants but also acts as a vector for tungro virus disease.

Biological Control Formula

Biological Insecticide Formula with a specific entomopathogen formulation effectively controls brown planthopper through:

  • Fungal infection of the insect cuticle
  • Production of lethal toxins
  • Natural spread within the planthopper population

Advantages

  • 80% efficacy in planthopper control
  • Environmentally friendly
  • Does not kill natural enemies of planthoppers
  • Suitable for organic farming

Application

Apply in the afternoon when planthoppers are active, spray on the base of rice plants where planthoppers typically gather.
