Eltra is an insecticide that is used to control brown planthoppers (BPH) in rice. It contains the active ingredient pymetrozine, which is a novel insecticide with a unique mode of action. Pymetrozine works by inhibiting the feeding of BPH, which leads to their death.

Eltra is applied as a foliar spray and is typically applied early in the growing season, but can be applied at any time during the growing season, as long as the BPH are actively feeding. Eltra is effective against both nymphs and adults of BPH.

Advantages of using Eltra insecticide:

• Effective against BPH, a major pest of rice
• Novel mode of action that reduces the risk of resistance
• Long residual activity
