SIPVIN Insecticides | INSECTICIDE

About SIPVIN Insecticides

SIPVIN is a crop-protection insecticide marketed by Sumitomo Chemical India Ltd. Its active ingredient is BPMC (Fenobucarb) 50% EC, a carbamate insecticide. It is primarily used for managing plant hoppers, particularly brown plant hopper and green leaf hopper in rice/paddy.

SIPVIN is a non-systemic insecticide with contact and stomach action. It provides relatively rapid knockdown of target sucking pests and is particularly useful in paddy pest-management programs.

Technical Content of SIPVIN Insecticides

• Brand Name: SIPVIN
• Technical Name: BPMC (Fenobucarb)
• Formulation: Fenobucarb 50% EC
• Chemical Group: Carbamate
• Type: Non-systemic insecticide
• Primary Target: Plant hoppers
• Major Target Pests: Brown Plant Hopper (BPH) and Green Leaf Hopper (GLH)

Mode of Action

SIPVIN acts primarily through acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibition. Fenobucarb interferes with normal nerve-signal transmission in insects, resulting in excessive nervous stimulation, paralysis and eventual death.

It has contact and stomach action and is non-systemic. Its relatively quick action makes it useful against hopper populations in rice.
