Chess Insecticide
Product Name: Chess Insecticide
Technical Name: Pymetrozine 50% WDG
Product Type: Insecticide
Brand Name: Syngenta
Product Overview:
- Syngenta Chess is a systemic insecticide in a Wettable Granule (WG / WDG) formulation containing Pymetrozine 50%.
- It’s specially designed for control of brown planthopper (BPH) in rice (paddy), but is also effective against other sap-sucking pests in various crops.
- Chess acts by permanently inhibiting feeding, paralysing mouthparts / legs, preventing egg laying, hence controlling both immediate damage and future pest populations.
Summary:
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Mode(s) of Action | • Feeding inhibition (mouthparts, hind-legs paralysis) • Prevents egg laying • Systemic + translaminar penetration • Contact & ingestion mode of entry |
| Target Pests | Brown Plant Hopper (BPH) in rice; also effective against other sap-sucking pests like aphids, whiteflies etc. in some crops |
| Recommended Crops | Mainly rice (paddy); sometimes other crops when registered locally |
| Dosage / Rate | Approx. 120 grams per acre in ~200 litres of water in rice fields |
| Application Method | Foliar spray; ensure good coverage; seedlings or early infestation stages are effective times. |
| Rainfastness / Persistence | Has good penetration and rainfast behaviour; systemic uptake helps sustain efficacy even after rainfall. |
| Other Notes | Highly selective; low impact on beneficials; used in IPM programs; two rounds of Chess often recommended for full protection. |
Benefits:
- Immediate Feeding Inhibition — Stops Brown Plant Hopper (BPH) from feeding quickly by paralyzing its mouthparts and hind legs.
- Long-Duration Protection — Provides residual control, protecting the crop over a period (up to ~21 days in some cases) after application.
- Reproduction Suppression — Prevents egg laying of pests, thereby reducing future pest population buildup.
- Good Rainfastness & Systemic Action — Penetrates well into the plant, works both upward & downward, remains effective even after rainfall.
- Selectivity / Low Impact on Beneficials — Highly selective against target pests and safer for beneficial insects, fitting into IPM (Integrated Pest Management) strategies.
- Crop Quality Enhancement — Helps maintain healthy, green crops (reducing “hopper burn”), thus preserving yield and return on investment.
