Product details
Tapuz Insecticide | Buprofezin 15% + Acephate 35% WP
A ready-formulated combination of insect growth regulation and nerve action for listed sucking
pests.
Rice focus: Brown planthopper and white-backed planthopper, with a defined foliar
treatment below.
When to start in rice: Monitor the early-season crop and initiate treatment at the
economic threshold level, within the vegetative-to-reproductive stage.
Exact mixture: This is the 15% + 35% WP combination. Do not substitute a 20% + 50%
mixture or separate products.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
-
🐛 Interferes with moulting: Buprofezin
disrupts formation of the outer covering needed by growing susceptible insects.
-
🎯 Adds nerve action: Acephate interferes
with normal nerve signalling, complementing the growth-regulating component.
-
🌾 Defined rice planthopper use: The rice
treatment addresses brown and white-backed planthoppers rather than every insect in a paddy field.
-
🧪 Ready-formulated product: Both active
ingredients are supplied together, without requiring a homemade blend of separate insecticides.

How It Works: Mode of Action
-
Buprofezin interferes with growth: The Group 16 component inhibits chitin biosynthesis, affecting the insect covering that must be
renewed during moulting.
-
Acephate interrupts nerve-signal clearing: The Group 1B component inhibits acetylcholinesterase, allowing the nerve-signalling
chemical acetylcholine to accumulate.
-
Normal moulting and nerve activity fail: Susceptible immature insects cannot complete normal moulting, while excessive nerve
activity disrupts normal insect function.
Buprofezin’s precise molecular mode of action is not fully defined. Count both Groups 16 and 1B in resistance
planning; the combination does not guarantee control of resistant insects or remove the need for effective, label-permitted
alternatives. Correct timing, placement and crop directions remain essential; it does not establish a fixed kill
time.

| Rice: brown and white-backed planthoppers |
1,250 g/ha; approximately 505.86 g/acre |
500 L/ha; approximately 202.34 L/acre |
Method: Foliar application using a hand-operated knapsack sprayer. First timing: When the planthopper population reaches the economic threshold level (ETL), within the vegetative-to-reproductive crop stage. |
20 days from the final treatment to harvest |
Use the original hectare quantities or the approximate acre equivalents for the same measured area; do not add
them together. This is not a per-litre or pump recipe. For rice, keep a 24-hour re-entry period. The rice frequency is 2–3 sprays
depending on infestation, not an automatic calendar: confirm the repeat interval and remaining restrictions before any further
treatment. Cotton and okra need their own complete directions. A pre-harvest interval is the minimum time from the final treatment to
harvest. A missing interval is not a zero-day interval. Harvest restrictions, worker re-entry periods and repeat-treatment intervals
are separate requirements.
How to Apply: Best Practices
-
Monitor the rice crop: Identify brown or white-backed planthoppers and assess the economic threshold with appropriate local crop
advice. Keep the vegetative-to-reproductive stage condition; do not spray by calendar alone.
-
Measure the permitted treatment: Use the rice quantity and clean water shown above for the measured area, with the specified
hand-operated knapsack sprayer. Confirm the complete nozzle and calibration directions on the supplied pack.
-
Mix without bare-hand contact: Measure the required product and mix it well with the required water. Wear the specified protective
equipment and avoid inhalation, splashes and skin contact.
-
Choose suitable conditions: Do not apply in unfavourable weather. Avoid active bee-foraging periods and application around
aquaculture, and prevent drift and runoff. Do not assume a fixed rainfast interval; follow the supplied pack’s rain-free period.
-
Keep later decisions separate: Record the field, date and quantity. Observe the 20-day rice harvest interval and 24-hour re-entry
period; confirm any repeat separately. Both current labels must permit a proposed mixture.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. When should the first rice spray be made?
When brown or white-backed planthoppers reach the economic threshold level, within the
vegetative-to-reproductive crop stage. Early-season monitoring does not authorize an automatic calendar spray.
2. Can I use the rice programme on cotton or okra?
No. Cotton and okra have different pest matches and require their own complete current crop directions,
including first timing and application method.
3. Which ingredient is the organophosphate?
Acephate is the Group 1B organophosphate. Buprofezin is the Group 16 growth-regulating component, not an
organophosphate.
4. Does 2–3 sprays mean I should apply three treatments?
No. The rice frequency depends on infestation. It does not provide a repeat interval or authorize additional
treatments without the current label’s conditions.
5. Can I add another pesticide, fertilizer or adjuvant?
Only when both current product labels permit the proposed combination for the crop and application method.
Physical mixability does not establish crop safety or permission to add another pesticide, fertilizer or adjuvant.
Safety & Disclaimer
Before you use it: Read the supplied Indian label and leaflet before opening the pack. Use only its
permitted crop, target and method, and follow its hazard classification and handling restrictions. Wear the specified protective
clothing and equipment. Avoid skin and eye contact, inhalation, splashes and drift. Never mix with bare hands. Keep children,
unprotected people and animals away. Do not eat, drink, chew or smoke while handling or applying the product. Wash contaminated
skin and clothes after use and wash thoroughly after work.
Highly toxic to honey bees and fish. Avoid application during active bee foraging and around aquaculture.
Keep product, drift, runoff, leftovers and equipment washings out of water sources and away from non-target areas. Use clean water
and follow the pack’s weather, equipment-cleaning and disposal directions. Never reuse empty containers or leave them outside
where they could be reused; arrange safe disposal under the applicable directions.
Store securely in the original labelled container, away from children, food, animal feed, water, heat and
open flame. Use a separate locked storage room or cupboard away from other articles. The storage space should be well built, cool,
dry, well lit, ventilated and large enough to prevent contamination by pesticide vapours. Observe all applicable harvest, worker
re-entry and repeat-treatment restrictions before the next operation.
If accidental exposure or suspected poisoning occurs, stop work and seek medical help promptly with the
product pack or label. For skin contact, remove contaminated clothing and wash thoroughly with soap and plenty of water. After
inhalation, move to fresh air and obtain medical attention, especially if breathing is difficult. Flush affected eyes with plenty
of fresh water for at least 10 minutes; seek an eye specialist if pain persists. If swallowed, do not induce vomiting and obtain
medical attention immediately. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Do not self-administer antidotes, attempt
home remedies or improvise treatment; antidote and oxygen treatment require medical professionals.
