*Dosage applies to the crop stage of booting and beyond. For early stages the quantity of insecticides can be reduced.
 

SP = Soluble Powder; DP = Dustable Powder; G = Granule; EC = Emulsifiable Concentrate; AF = Aqua Flowable;
WP = Wettable Powder; S = Sprayable suspension, SL = Soluble liquid, SC = Suspension Concentrate, WDG = Water Dispersible Granule. 

Note:

1. Sub-lethal concentration of insecticides may lead to pest resurgence.

2. Granular application is recommended only up to the booting stage.

3. Spot application method should be resorted to wherever possible

4. Use 200, 300 and 500 l/ha of spray fluid at 10, 25, 45 DAT or 30, 45, 60 DAS respectively for high volume spray equipment.

5. When low volume spray equipment is used the spray fluid can be limited to 90, 120, 180 l/ha, but the quantity of insecticide should remain the same as used in high volume spray 200, 300 and 500 l/ha respectively.

6. Waiting periods for quinalphos and malathion are 7 and 3 days respectively.

7. In regions where BPH is a regular pest avoid the application of the following insecticides due to the chances of resurgence: Deltamethrin, carbaryl and quinalphos.
