About SIPVIN Insecticides
SIPVIN is a crop-protection insecticide marketed by Sumitomo Chemical India Ltd. Its active ingredient is BPMC (Fenobucarb) 50% EC, a carbamate insecticide. It is primarily used for managing plant hoppers, particularly brown plant hopper and green leaf hopper in rice/paddy.
SIPVIN is a non-systemic insecticide with contact and stomach action. It provides relatively rapid knockdown of target sucking pests and is particularly useful in paddy pest-management programs.
Technical Content of SIPVIN Insecticides
-
Brand Name: SIPVIN
-
Technical Name: BPMC (Fenobucarb)
-
Formulation: Fenobucarb 50% EC
-
Chemical Group: Carbamate
-
Type: Non-systemic insecticide
-
Primary Target: Plant hoppers
-
Major Target Pests: Brown Plant Hopper (BPH) and Green Leaf Hopper (GLH)
Mode of Action
SIPVIN acts primarily through acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibition. Fenobucarb interferes with normal nerve-signal transmission in insects, resulting in excessive nervous stimulation, paralysis and eventual death.
It has contact and stomach action and is non-systemic. Its relatively quick action makes it useful against hopper populations in rice.
