Buprofezin; A Reliable IGR for the Control of Rice Pests

  • Chapter
Pest Management in Rice

Abstract

Buprofezin (APPLAUD®) is the first insect growth regulator (IGR) registered in the world for the control of rice pests. It shows high activity on homopterous pest insects such as rice planthoppers and leafhoppers without any adverse effects on their predators and parasitoids. Since the chemical inhibits larval molting, egg-laying and/or induces oviposition of unhatchable eggs, it suppresses the population density of hoppers even in the progeny of the treated generation with long lasting activity in the paddy field. Buprofezin causes no resurgence of hoppers by itself nor with the combination of other insecticides, working rather preventive. The safe properties on non-target organisms and the stable control effects on pest insects have led this compound to a prominent IGR for integrated pest managements in rice and other crops.
