Bilstorm
Technical Name
Dinotefuran 15% + Pymetrozine 45% WG
Product Detail
Bilstorm is a specialty insecticide mainly designed for hopper management in Paddy, especially Brown Plant Hopper (BPH), White-backed Plant Hopper (WBPH), Green Leaf Hopper (GLH) and Rice Ear Head Bug. Its dual mode of action ensures rapid knockdown and long-lasting control.
Mode of Action
Bilstorm (Dinotefuran 15% + Pymetrozine 45% WG) provides a dual mode of action through neurotoxicity and feeding inhibition.
- Dinotefuran – Targets nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, causing abnormal nerve impulse transmission, paralysis and death of the pest.
- Pymetrozine – Disrupts chordotonal organ/TRPV channel-associated feeding control, leading to rapid feeding cessation in hoppers. Sap sucking stops soon after exposure, and insects die gradually due to starvation.

Bilstorm – Key Benefits
-
Dual Mode of Action
- Fast suppression through Dinotefuran
- Feeding stoppage through Pymetrozine
- Resistance Management – Useful for managing insecticide resistance in hopper populations.
- Effective Hopper Complex Control – Comprehensive control of the paddy hopper complex including BPH, WBPH, GLH and Rice Ear Head Bug.
- Better Lower-Canopy Control – Ensures effective reach to the lower canopy where hoppers predominantly reside and feed.
- Reduces Pest Population Build-up – Prevents resurgence by significantly reducing pest population over time.
- Reduces Egg Laying Capacity – Reduces egg laying capacity of female BPH & WBPH, breaking the pest lifecycle.
- Healthy & Vibrant Tillers – Provides healthy and vibrant tillers at the reproductive stage, ensuring better yield.
- Reduces Hopper Burn Risk – Highly effective in reducing the risk of hopper burn in paddy fields.
- Superior WG Formulation – WG formulation mixes well in water, produces less dust and gives uniform spray solution for ease of application.
