Metroz is a broad-spectrum insecticide containing 50% pymetrozine as the active ingredient. It is a water-dispersible granule (WG) formulation that is recommended for the control of a wide range of sucking pests in maize, vegetables, and cotton.
Pymetrozine is a triazine insecticide that acts as a contact and stomach poison. It disrupts the sodium channels in the nervous system of insects, which leads to paralysis and death. Metroz is a fast-acting insecticide that provides long-lasting protection against sucking pests.
Metroz should be applied at the first sign of pest infestation. It can be applied by foliar spray or ground application. The recommended application rate varies depending on the crop and the pest to be controlled.
Metroz is generally safe for use on crops and non-crop plants, but it is important to follow the label directions carefully to avoid crop injury.
The recommended dose of Metroz insecticide on rice is 0.25 to 0.5 kg/ha. This dose is effective against a wide range of sucking pests, including aphids, jassids, and thrips. It is important to note that the actual dose may vary depending on the severity of the pest infestation and the local environmental conditions. It is always best to consult with a certified agronomist or entomologist to get the most accurate recommendations for your specific situation.
Here are some additional tips for applying Metroz insecticide on rice:
- Apply Metroz in the morning or evening when the air is still and the temperature is below 30 degrees Celsius.
- Avoid applying Metroz on windy days, as this can reduce the effectiveness of the insecticide.
- Make sure that the rice plants are well-watered before applying Metroz.
- Apply Metroz evenly over the entire plant, including the leaves, stems, and buds.
- Repeat the application of Metroz at 7-day intervals, or as needed, to maintain control of pests.
It is also important to follow all safety precautions when applying Metroz insecticide. Wear protective clothing, including gloves, goggles, and a long-sleeved shirt and pants. Avoid breathing in the spray mist. If you do come into contact with Metroz, wash the affected area thoroughly with soap and water.
