Bayer Glamore

Glamore is a combination insecticide consisting of Ethiprole and Imidacloprid. It is a very good tool for hopper management thereby avoiding possibly of hopper burn in the later crop stages. The combination of two different modes of action makes it an excellent tool in resistant management programs.

Technical Name: Ethiprole + Imidacloprid 80 WG (40 + 40 % w/w)

Mode of Action: Ethiprole has gamma butyric acid regulated chloride channel, which acts on central nervous system. It has high level of selective toxicity and thus cross resistance is not likely.

Imidacloprid is antagonistic to the nicotinic acetyl choline receptor in central nervous system, thus disturbing the proper signal transmission with following excitation of nerve cell. Consequently a disorder of the nervous system leading finally to the death of treated insect.

Recommendations: Effective broad spectrum hopper control avoids development of hopper burn in rice crop.

Targeted Pests: Rice - Brown Plant Hopper and White Backed Plant Hopper

Dosage: 50 - 60 gm/acre
