Best Agro Axeman Insecticide Dinotefuran 15% + Pymetrozine 45% WG

Best Agro Axeman is a premium combination insecticide that helps eliminate harmful pests like Brown Planthopper (BPH), Green Leafhopper, White-backed Planthopper (WBPH), and Rice Ear Head Bug in paddy crops. This insecticide provides a dual mode of action — systemic and contact — which ensures prolonged effectiveness and quick pest knockdown. It works by disrupting the pest's nervous system and halting feeding, leading to their death. The Axeman insecticide is easy to apply as its Wettable Granule (WG) formula mixes easily with water.

Axeman Insecticide Technical Name

Dinotefuran 15% + Pymetrozine 45% WG

Key Features and Benefits

• Quick Action: Best Agro Axeman insecticide provides quick pest relief through rapid absorption and pest knockdown.
• Prolonged Protection: The Axeman insecticide offers potent systemic action, which ensures prolonged protection for the crop.
• Multiple Targets: Best Agro Axeman protects crops from multiple pests like BPH, Green Leafhopper, WBPH and Rice Ear Head Bug.
• Targeted Protection: The Axeman insecticide works especially well on paddy crops, ensuring better safety from sucking pests.
• Easy to Use: WG formulation dissolves easily in water — no clumping, clean mixing, minimal residue.

Mode of Action

Axeman works through a dual mechanism — Dinotefuran acts as a neonicotinoid that disrupts the insect nervous system through nicotinic acetylcholine receptor inhibition, while Pymetrozine is a feeding blocker (METI inhibitor) that stops pest feeding rapidly, leading to starvation and death. Together they provide both quick knockdown and sustained residual control.

Target Pests

• Brown Planthopper (BPH) — Nilaparvata lugens
• White-backed Planthopper (WBPH) — Sogatella furcifera
• Green Leafhopper (GLH) — Nephotettix spp.
• Rice Ear Head Bug

Axeman Insecticide Dose and Application

How To Use Best Agro Axeman

2. Dissolve in a small amount of water first, then dilute to the required spray volume (150–200 litres per acre).
3. Spray uniformly over the crop canopy — ensure thorough coverage of leaves and lower plant surface where planthoppers feed.
4. Apply at the early stage of pest infestation for best results. Repeat application if pest pressure is high.
5. Spray during early morning or late evening to avoid evaporation loss and improve absorption.
6. Do not spray if rain is expected within 3–4 hours of application.
7. Wear gloves, mask, and full-sleeve clothing while handling and spraying.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1. What is Best Agro Axeman and which pests does it control?
Best Agro Axeman is a combination insecticide containing Dinotefuran 15% + Pymetrozine 45% WG. It is registered for use in paddy (rice) and is effective against Brown Planthopper (BPH), White-backed Planthopper (WBPH), Green Leafhopper, and Rice Ear Head Bug. Its dual mode of action ensures both quick knockdown and prolonged residual protection.

Q2. What is the correct dose of Axeman insecticide for paddy?
The recommended dose is 133.2 grams per acre for foliar spray application. Dissolve the measured quantity in a small amount of water first, then dilute to 150–200 litres of water per acre. Spray uniformly over the crop canopy, ensuring coverage of the lower leaf surface where planthoppers typically feed.

Q3. How does Axeman work against BPH and WBPH?
Axeman uses two complementary active ingredients. Dinotefuran (a neonicotinoid) disrupts the insect's nervous system by blocking nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, causing paralysis and death. Pymetrozine acts as a rapid feeding blocker — pests stop feeding almost immediately after contact, leading to starvation and death within hours. Together they provide fast knockdown and extended residual control.

Q4. When is the best time to spray Axeman on paddy crops?
Apply Axeman at the early stage of pest appearance for the best results. Spray during early morning or late evening to minimise evaporation and improve absorption. Avoid spraying if rain is forecast within 3–4 hours. Always wear protective clothing — gloves, mask, and full-sleeve garments — while spraying, and rinse the sprayer thoroughly after use.
