Bayer Curbix Pro is a dual-action insecticide specifically designed for paddy crops, targeting hopper pests. Curbix Pro insecticide contains Ethiprole 10.7% + Pymetrozine 40% WG, which works by blocking chloride channels, causing continuous nerve stimulation, resulting in severe paralysis and stopping pest feeding. The Bayer Curbix Pro insecticide offers great resistance management with targeted protection, ensuring effective results.
Key Features and Benefits of Curbix Pro Insecticide
Dual Action: Bayer Curbix Pro works with two active ingredients, providing a dual mode of action for effective protection.
Quick Action: Ethiprole 10.7% + Pymetrozine 40% WG reduces pest feeding soon after spraying, helping protect tillers from fresh damage.
Targeted Control: This insecticide is made for brown plant hopper and white-backed plant hopper management in rice.
Resistance Management: Bayer Curbix Pro insecticide makes it tough for the pests to develop resistance due to its dual formula.
Uniform Spreading: Curbix Pro insecticide spreads well on the plant surface when sprayed with enough water and proper nozzle pressure.
Crop Safety: Bayer Curbix Pro is plant-safe for rice when used at the recommended dose and correct timing.
Healthier Crop Growth: Curbix Pro insecticide protects rice from hopper burn, which helps the crop stay greener and supports grain filling.
Curbix Pro Uses:
Planthoppers: Brown plant hopper and white-backed plant hopper in rice.
Hopper Burn Risk: Bayer Curbix Pro helps reduce crop yellowing, drying patches, and weak tillers caused by heavy hopper feeding.
Sucking Pest Pressure: Curbix Pro insecticide is mainly used where hopper population is seen near the lower stem and waterline area.
Rice Crop Protection: Ethiprole 10.7% + Pymetrozine 40% WG supports paddy protection by reducing pest feeding before major field damage starts.
Bayer Curbix Pro Dose
Use as a foliar spray. Curbix Pro insecticide dose is 170 gm per acre in about 150 litres of water. Ethiprole 10.7% + Pymetrozine 40% WG should be sprayed evenly, especially near the lower crop canopy, because hoppers generally sit around the base of paddy plants. CIB-style pesticide use data lists Ethiprole 10.7% + Pymetrozine 40% WG for rice against brown plant hopper and white-backed plant hopper, with a formulation range of 375 to 425 g/ha and a 27-day waiting period, which converts to close to 150 to 170 gm per acre.
Crop | Target Pest | Dose Per Acre | Application Method | PHI |

Rice / Paddy | Brown plant hopper and white-backed plant hopper | 170 gm | Foliar spray in about 150 L water per acre | 27 days |
How to Use Bayer Curbix Pro
Measure the required quantity of this insecticide as per the dosage table.
Fill the spray tank halfway with clean water before adding Curbix Pro insecticide.
Mix Ethiprole 10.7% + Pymetrozine 40% WG in a small amount of water to make a smooth solution.
Add the prepared Ethiprole 10.7% + Pymetrozine 40% WG mixture into the spray tank and stir properly.
Spray Bayer Curbix Pro uniformly across the paddy field.
Direct the spray toward the lower plant canopy where brown plant hopper and white-backed plant hopper are usually found.
Use enough water so it reaches the base of the crop.
Avoid spraying Ethiprole 10.7% + Pymetrozine 40% WG during strong wind, heavy rain, or very hot afternoon weather.
Keep the field condition suitable and avoid water movement immediately after spraying Bayer Curbix Pro.
Best Time to Apply:
Apply Bayer Curbix Pro when hopper population is first noticed or when field scouting shows early pest build-up. Early morning or late evening is better for Curbix Pro insecticide because spray loss is lower and plants are not under heat stress. Ethiprole 10.7% + Pymetrozine 40% WG should be sprayed before hopper burn becomes visible across the field.
Frequency of Application and Re-Entry Period
Frequency of Application: One timely spray of Bayer Curbix Pro is usually suitable when hopper pressure is at the early to moderate stage.
Re-Entry Period: Do not enter the treated field for at least 24 hours after Curbix Pro insecticide application without proper protective gear.
Compatibility: Do not mix Bayer Curbix Pro blindly with other insecticides, fungicides, fertilizers, or plant growth products. Do a jar test first.
Resistance Care: Rotate Ethiprole 10.7% + Pymetrozine 40% WG with other recommended insecticide groups if repeated hopper control is needed in the season.
Application Care: This insecticide works best when the spray reaches the lower paddy canopy where hoppers are actively feeding.
