Overview
BETAB Insecticide is a modern Water Dispersible Granule (WG) formulation developed for effective management of sap-sucking pests in paddy. It combines Ethiprole, a phenylpyrazole insecticide that disrupts the insect nervous system, with Pymetrozine, a pyridine azomethine insecticide that immediately stops insect feeding.
This dual-action combination provides quick knockdown, prolonged residual protection, and excellent systemic movement within the plant. BETAB effectively controls destructive hopper populations while helping protect rice plants from hopper burn and yield losses. Its two different modes of action also help delay insecticide resistance when used as part of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program.

About the Product
BETAB combines two highly effective insecticides with different mechanisms of action to provide reliable hopper control. Ethiprole affects the insect nervous system by blocking GABA-regulated chloride channels, causing paralysis and death. Pymetrozine immediately stops insect feeding by affecting the insect's feeding behavior, preventing further crop damage before the pest eventually dies.
This combination provides rapid suppression of hopper populations while protecting rice plants during critical growth stages. Field studies have shown excellent efficacy against BPH with good safety toward beneficial predators such as spiders and mirid bugs when used according to recommendations.
Key Features
Dual Mode of Action
Combines Ethiprole and Pymetrozine for highly effective and reliable hopper management.
Fast Feeding Cessation
Pymetrozine causes immediate feeding stoppage, reducing crop damage quickly.
Rapid Knockdown
Ethiprole delivers quick control through its action on the insect nervous system.
Excellent Systemic Activity
Moves within the plant to protect new growth from hopper infestation.
Long Residual Protection
Provides extended control, reducing the need for frequent insecticide applications.
Effective Resistance Management
Two different IRAC groups help reduce resistance development when used in rotation with other insecticides.
Safer to Beneficial Insects
Research indicates good compatibility with important natural enemies such as spiders and mirid bugs.
Higher Yield Potential
Protects crops from hopper burn and supports healthy grain development.
Recommended Crops
Suitable for:
- Paddy (Rice)
Controls:
- Brown Plant Hopper (BPH) (Nilaparvata lugens)
- White Backed Plant Hopper (WBPH) (Sogatella furcifera)
Application Guidelines
Foliar Spray
Spray uniformly over the crop, directing the spray towards the lower canopy where hopper populations are concentrated.
Recommended Dosage
- 375–425 g per hectare
- Use approximately 375 litres of water per hectare for uniform coverage.
Best Application Stage
Apply immediately after the appearance of Brown Plant Hopper or White Backed Plant Hopper and before severe infestation develops.
Frequency
Repeat only if required based on pest pressure and follow local agricultural recommendations.
