Preventing Hopper Burn in Paddy: Dinotefuran 70% WG Application Guide

# Preventing Hopper Burn in Paddy

Brown Plant Hopper (*Nilaparvata lugens*) multiplies exponentially in warm, humid microclimates under dense rice canopies. If left unmanaged, BPH feeding causes sudden drying of tillers known as 'Hopper Burn'.

Key Control Measures - Maintain field drainage and open aeration alleys every 2-3 meters. - Avoid excessive nitrogen fertilization. - Direct spray nozzles towards the basal stem zone. - Apply **OCEAN** (Dinotefuran 70% WG) @ 50g per acre. Dinotefuran's high water solubility ensures rapid xylem translocation to the base of tillers.
