Record Insecticide (Buprofezin 20% + Acephate 50% WP)
The "Double Engine" Solution for BPH, Whitefly, and Sucking Pests.
Record Insecticide is a powerful combination chemistry designed to stop sucking pests in their tracks. By mixing the immediate knockdown power of Acephate with the long-lasting egg-sterilizing action of Buprofezin, Record breaks the "Resurgence Trap." It clears out current adult pests while preventing the next generation from hatching, making it the top choice for Rice and Cotton farmers facing resistant pests.
Best for: Brown Plant Hopper (BPH) in Paddy and Whitefly in Cotton.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ⏱️Instant Knockdown: Acephate acts rapidly to paralyze and kill adult pests, stopping crop damage immediately.
- ?️Long-Lasting Protection: Buprofezin acts as a "demographic firewall," preventing nymphs from molting and sterilizing eggs for weeks.
- ⏳Complete Brood Control: Targets all life stages—Eggs, Nymphs, and Adults—simultaneously to prevent pest population rebound.
- ?️Systemic & Vapor Action: Penetrates the plant to kill hidden pests and uses vapor action to reach BPH hiding at the water level.
- ?Cost-Effective: Provides mid-tier pricing (approx. ₹400-550/acre) with premium results, reducing the need for repeated sprays.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Record utilizes a "Physiological Pincer" strategy to attack insects on two fronts. This synergistic approach prevents resistance and ensures a clean field.
- The Hammer (Acephate - Nerve Action): Acephate is a systemic neurotoxin. It inhibits Acetylcholinesterase (AChE), causing paralysis and rapid death in adult insects and feeding larvae.
- The Net (Buprofezin - Molting Inhibition): Buprofezin inhibits chitin synthesis. When nymphs try to grow and molt, they cannot form a new skin and die. It also suppresses egg-laying in females.
- Double Engine Effect: The Acephate creates immediate relief from feeding damage, while the Buprofezin ensures that no new pests emerge for weeks, breaking the overlapping generation cycle.
Note: This dual action is highly effective against pests that have developed resistance to single-molecule sprays.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Paddy (Rice) | Brown Plant Hopper (BPH), Whitebacked Plant Hopper (WBPH), Green Leaf Hopper, Leaf Folder |
| Cotton | Whitefly, Aphids, Jassids, Thrips |
| Vegetables | Aphids, Whitefly |
Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results. Under-dosing can lead to resistance.
Dosage per Acre, Grams, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (g / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (g / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paddy (Rice) | 400 g | 200 L | 2 g | 20-30 Days |
| Cotton | 400 g | 200 L | 2 g | 15-20 Days |
| Vegetables | 300 - 400 g | 150 - 200 L | 2 g | See Label |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting. *Note: Record is a Wettable Powder (WP), so dosage is measured in Grams (g).
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply at the Economic Threshold Level (ETL). For Paddy, this is 5-10 hoppers per hill. Do not wait for severe hopper burn.
- Mixing (Slurry Method): Since this is a Wettable Powder (WP), first mix the required quantity in a small bucket of water to form a smooth cream/slurry before adding it to the main spray tank.
- Coverage: For BPH, direct the nozzle toward the base of the plant (near the water line) where hoppers hide. Use a hollow cone nozzle for best misting.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles) as Acephate is toxic. Wash hands thoroughly after use. Do not enter the field for 24-48 hours after spraying.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the price of Record Insecticide per acre?
The approximate cost is between ₹400 to ₹550 per acre (for the standard 400g dose), making it a highly cost-effective solution compared to patented molecules that can cost over ₹1000.
2. Can I mix Record with fungicides?
Yes, Record is generally compatible with neutral-pH fungicides like Tricyclazole (for Blast) or Hexaconazole. However, never mix it with alkaline substances like Bordeaux mixture or Lime Sulphur.
3. Is Record Insecticide rainfast?
Acephate is absorbed within 4-6 hours, after which it is rainfast. However, if rain occurs within 2 hours of application, efficacy may be reduced. A rain-free window of 6 hours is ideal.
4. Does it control the Rice Leaf Folder?
Yes. The Acephate component is highly effective against Leaf Folders and Stem Borers, providing a dual benefit of controlling both sucking pests and chewers in one spray.
5. Why is this better than using Acephate or Buprofezin alone?
Using Acephate alone kills adults but leaves eggs to hatch later. Using Buprofezin alone kills nymphs but leaves adults to continue feeding. Record combines them to kill the entire population instantly and keep the field clean for weeks.
