Nilanix SC - Pymetrozine 14.8% + Fipronil 7.5% + Dinotefuran 4.8% SC - Parijat
Nilanix SC Insecticide by Parijat
Pymetrozine 14.8% + Fipronil 7.5% + Dinotefuran 4.8% SC for specified paddy borers and
hoppers.
Paddy targets: Stem borer, brown planthopper, white-backed planthopper and green
leafhopper.
Brown-planthopper timing: At infestation onset, when 5–6 brown planthoppers or
nymphs are observed per hill, around 45–60 days after transplanting.
BPH programme: 350 ml product with 200 L water per acre; hollow-cone spray directed
to hill bases; leave 25 days from last application to harvest.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
-
🧠 Three distinct mechanisms: Combines
pymetrozine, fipronil and dinotefuran, whose IRAC Groups 9B, 2B and 4A act at different biological targets.
-
🌿 Systemic activity: Movement within the
plant allows susceptible feeding pests to encounter the treatment, alongside contact activity.
-
🍃 Feeding disruption: Interferes with
brown-planthopper feeding, helping reduce continued sap removal by affected insects.
-
🎯 Targeted BPH placement: The
brown-planthopper spray method directs treatment towards the base of paddy hills, where these pests commonly shelter.

How It Works: Mode of Action
-
Pymetrozine disrupts feeding-related sensing: Group 9B acts on TRPV channels in chordotonal organs, the insect’s internal
stretch-sensing structures. Disrupting this signalling interferes with feeding and other behaviour.
-
Fipronil disrupts inhibitory nerve signals: Group 2B blocks GABA-gated chloride channels. This interferes with the normal restraint
of nerve activity in susceptible insects.
-
Dinotefuran affects nerve-message receptors: Group 4A acts at the acetylcholine binding site of nicotinic receptors, disturbing
normal nerve signalling and potentially causing over-excitation, lethargy and paralysis.
Three active ingredients do not make the mixture harmless or resistance-proof. Account for all three IRAC
groups when planning later insect control. Systemic movement does not replace correct spray placement, and no fixed control speed or
season-long protection is implied.
Target Crops & Pests

| Paddy (rice) |
Stem borer; brown planthopper; white-backed planthopper; green leafhopper |
The brown-planthopper scouting count and hill-base placement are specific to BPH. Keep stem-borer,
white-backed-planthopper and green-leafhopper treatment decisions with their own current crop-pest directions; do not reuse the BPH
threshold for them.

Method: Foliar spray with a hollow-cone nozzle, directed towards the base of paddy hills. First timing: At BPH infestation onset, when 5–6 BPH or nymphs per hill are observed, around 45–60 days after transplanting. |
25 days from last application to harvest |
This row is the brown-planthopper programme, not an automatic calendar spray or a shared timing rule for every
paddy pest. Keep product and water quantities paired for the actual treated area. The 25-day harvest interval is not a worker re-entry
interval; follow the pack separately for re-entry and any repeat-treatment limits.
How to Apply: Best Practices
-
Identify the pest at the hill base: Check the paddy crop and distinguish brown planthopper from the other listed borers and
hoppers. Inspect the hill bases when assessing BPH.
-
Use the BPH trigger as a combined condition: Begin at infestation onset with 5–6 brown planthoppers or nymphs per hill, around
45–60 days after transplanting. Do not spray solely because the crop reaches a calendar date.
-
Measure the treated area: For this BPH programme, pair 350 ml product with 200 L water for each acre treated. A pump’s capacity
alone does not establish the area it will cover.
-
Prepare the SC as directed: Follow the supplied pack’s mixing and agitation procedure. Do not add an unapproved mixture partner or
borrow preparation instructions from another formulation.
-
Set height and nozzle direction: Use a hollow-cone nozzle. Maintain the stated spray height, with the nozzle lightly at the flag
leaf, while directing the spray towards the hill bases where BPH resides. Follow the pack and equipment instructions for safe
operation.
-
Plan harvest and subsequent control: Leave 25 days after the last application before harvesting. Record the product and treatment
date, and check the pack before any repeat spray or resistance-management change.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does the BPH threshold apply to every pest in the paddy target list?
No. The 5–6-per-hill scouting trigger is for brown planthopper or its nymphs. Do not apply that count to
stem borer, white-backed planthopper or green leafhopper merely because they share the crop.
2. Should I spray automatically at 45 days after transplanting?
No. The approximate 45–60-day period is linked to BPH infestation beginning and the 5–6-hopper-or-nymph
count per hill. Crop age alone does not establish the need to treat.
3. Why direct the spray towards the hill bases?
That is where brown-planthopper populations commonly shelter. Use the hollow-cone nozzle and the stated
spray height to reach that location, rather than treating only the upper canopy.
4. Can I replace the per-acre programme with a standard pump recipe?
No universal pump recipe is provided. For brown planthopper, keep 350 ml product and 200 L water per acre
together and measure the actual area treated. Tank size alone does not establish coverage.
5. How long must I wait before harvest, and does the mixture prevent resistance?
Leave 25 days between the last application and paddy harvest for the BPH programme. This is separate from
re-entry restrictions. Three different IRAC groups do not remove resistance risk or allow unlimited repeated use.
