Record is a unique insecticide that combines two different modes of action for comprehensive pest control.1 It's manufactured by Crystal Crop Protection Limited and contains Buprofezin 20% + Acephate 50% WP as its active ingredients.2 This combination targets both adult and nymphal stages of hoppers and other sucking pests in paddy.3
Mode of Action:
Acephate: An organophosphate insecticide with contact and systemic action.4 It disrupts the nervous system of insects by inhibiting the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, leading to paralysis and death.5 It is particularly effective against adult hoppers.
Buprofezin: An insect growth regulator (IGR) that inhibits chitin synthesis in insects.6 Chitin is a crucial component of the insect exoskeleton (outer shell).7 By disrupting chitin formation, Buprofezin prevents nymphs from molting properly, leading to their death.8
This dual action provides effective control of both adult and nymphal stages of pests, reducing the overall population and preventing future infestations.9
Key Features and Benefits:
Dual action: Combines neurotoxin and IGR activity for enhanced efficacy and resistance management.10
Broad-spectrum control: Effective against a wide range of sucking pests in paddy, including Brown Plant Hopper (BPH), Green Leafhopper (GLH), Whitebacked Planthopper (WBPH), and Leaf Folder.11
Controls all stages: Targets both adult and nymphal stages of pests, providing comprehensive control.12
Systemic and contact action: Offers both internal and external protection to the plant.
Long residual activity: Provides extended protection against pests, reducing the frequency of applications.
Resistance management: The combination of two different modes of action helps to prevent the development of resistance in pest populations.13

Record is applied as a foliar spray in paddy.14
Dosage: 400 g/acre15
