Nursery protection against seedling blast, root rot, and early shoot fly before transplanting to main field.

Targets:Seedling BlastBacterial Leaf Blight (BLB)Thrips
Tank-Mix Recipe & Recommended Inputs:
Input & Technical MoleculePopular ExampleDose per AcrePer 15L KnapsackAgronomic Role

45-50 DATTarget Date: 28 Dec 2026

Stage 3: Panicle Initiation & Sheath Blight Defense

Mixing Warning: Amistar Top, Fame, and 0:52:34 are highly compatible. Direct spray toward base of tillers where sheath blight develops.
Expert Tip: Direct spray toward the bottom 10 cm of the tillers near the water line where sheath blight begins.

65-70 DATTarget Date: 17 Jan 2027

Stage 4: Booting Stage & Neck Blast Protection

200L Water (13 Tanks/Acre)

Panicle emerges from flag leaf sheath. Infection at this stage breaks the panicle neck ("Neck Blast / White Ear"), causing total crop failure.

Targets:Neck Blast (Pyricularia oryzae)False Smut (Green Balls)Sheath Rot
Tank-Mix Recipe & Recommended Inputs:
Input & Technical MoleculePopular ExampleDose per AcrePer 15L KnapsackAgronomic Role
Tricyclazole 75% WPFungicideBeam / Baan120g in 200L water10gSpecialist systemic preventer of neck and node blast
Boron 20% SolubleMicronutrientBorax Morarji200g in 200L water15gEnsures 100% pollination and eliminates chaffy/empty grains
Mixing Warning: Do not exceed recommended Boron dose. Must spray right at flag leaf boot stage before panicles emerge.
Expert Tip: Never delay blast spray once weather turns cloudy or misty. Tricyclazole is purely preventative.

85-90 DATTarget Date: 6 Feb 2027

Stage 5: Milk Stage to Dough & BPH Management

200L Water (13 Tanks/Acre)

Grain filling stage. Brown Planthopper (BPH) colonies multiply at water level causing circular burnt patches ("Hopper Burn").

Targets:Brown Planthopper - BPH (Nilaparvata lugens)White-Backed PlanthopperTerminal Blotch
Tank-Mix Recipe & Recommended Inputs:
Input & Technical MoleculePopular ExampleDose per AcrePer 15L KnapsackAgronomic Role
Pymetrozine 50% WDGInsecticideChess120g in 200L water10gImmediate feeding blocker; paralyzes stylet needle of BPH hoppers
NPK 13:0:45 (Potassium Nitrate)Water Soluble NPKYaraTera Krista K1.5 kg in 200L water110gMaximizes thousand grain test weight and golden grain luster
Mixing Warning: Direct spray strictly at base of stems. Drain field water slightly before spraying to expose hoppers on lower tillers.
Expert Tip: Create "Alleyways" (leaving one empty row every 2 meters during transplanting) to improve aeration and prevent BPH buildup.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions: Paddy / Rice Spraying

Drain excess water from the field first to expose the hopper colony at the base of the stems. Spray Pymetrozine 50% WDG (Chess @ 120g/acre) using a hollow-cone nozzle directed strictly at the plant base, not the upper canopy.
