GSP Across X is a selective systemic insecticide used mainly in paddy for brown plant hopper control. It offers a systemic mode of action as it works by acting as a specialized feeding blocker, disrupting the nervous system and paralyzing the insect's mouthparts and hind legs. Across X insecticide is also helpful in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs because it is selective and works differently from many common insecticides.
Key Features and Benefits of Across X Insecticide:
Systemic Action: GSP Across X moves within treated crop parts and helps control hoppers that suck sap from rice plants for long-lasting control.
Targeted BPH Control: Across X insecticide is mainly recommended for brown plant hopper management in paddy fields.
Selective Insecticide: Across X insecticide targets harmful sucking pests and does not harm predatory and other beneficial insects.
WG Formulation: GSP Across X comes in water-dispersible granule form, which mixes well in water when stirred properly.
Resistance Rotation: Across X insecticide belongs to a different insecticide group and can be used for IPM practices.
Across X Insecticide Uses:
Paddy Brown Plant Hopper: Across X insecticide helps control brown plant hopper that gathers near the base of rice plants and sucks crop sap.
Hopper Burn Protection: GSP Across X helps reduce the risk of yellowing, drying patches, and hopper-burn symptoms in paddy.
Sap-Sucking Pest Pressure: Across X insecticide supports control of recommended hemipteran sucking pests where label guidance allows.
Early Pest Management: GSP Across X is useful when hopper population starts increasing but has not yet caused heavy field damage.
IPM Crop Protection: Across X insecticide can be used as part of a planned pest-management program with field monitoring.
GSP Across X Dose:
Use GSP Across X as a foliar spray in paddy with clean water. Across X insecticide Dose Per Litre is 0.8 g per litre of water. The common field dose is 120 g per acre, or 12 g in a 15-litre spray pump. Across X insecticide should be sprayed toward the lower crop canopy because brown plant hoppers often remain near the plant base.
Crop | Target Pest | Dose per acre | Application Method | PHI |
|---|
Paddy | Brown plant hopper | 120 gm | Foliar spray in about 150 to 200 L water | 19 days |
Paddy | Early hopper pressure | 120 gm | Direct spray toward lower canopy and plant base | 19 days |
Paddy | Hopper-burn risk stage | 120 gm | Uniform foliar spray with good crop coverage | 19 days |
How to Use GSP Across X:
Measure the required quantity of GSP Across X as per paddy field area.
Fill the spray tank halfway with clean water.
Mix the measured Across X insecticide quantity in a small amount of water first.
Add the prepared GSP Across X solution into the main spray tank.
Add the remaining water and stir the spray mixture properly.
Spray Across X insecticide uniformly in the paddy field.
Direct spray toward the lower plant area where brown plant hoppers usually stay.
Apply GSP Across X when hopper activity is first noticed.
Use Across X insecticide before the hopper population becomes heavy.
Avoid spraying during strong wind, rainfall, or very hot afternoon weather.
Use the prepared GSP Across X spray solution on the same day.
Best Time to Apply:
Apply GSP Across X when brown plant hopper is first noticed near the base of rice plants. Across X insecticide gives better results when pest pressure is still early or moderate. Morning or evening spraying is better because spray loss is lower and crop stress is reduced. GSP Across X should not be sprayed on severely stressed, waterlogged, or weak paddy crops.
Frequency of Application and Re-entry Period:
Frequency of Application: One timely spray of Across X insecticide can help manage early to moderate hopper pressure. Repeat only if pest pressure continues and label guidance allows it.
Re-Entry Period: Do not enter the treated field for at least 24 hours after GSP Across X spray without proper protective gear.
Compatibility: Across X insecticide should not be mixed with unknown pesticides, fertilizers, micronutrients, or strong alkaline products without a jar test.
Application Care: GSP Across X performs better when the spray reaches the lower crop canopy and plant base.
Resistance Care: Rotate Across X insecticide with other suitable insecticide groups and avoid repeated sprays of the same chemistry.
Safety Precautions and Handling:
Read the product label carefully before mixing and spraying GSP Across X.
Wear gloves, mask, goggles, long sleeves, and protective footwear while using Across X insecticide.
Do not eat, drink, smoke, or chew anything during application.
Avoid direct contact with skin, eyes, and mouth.

Do not exceed the recommended dose of GSP Across X.
Wash hands, face, and exposed skin properly after spraying.
Keep children, animals, and unprotected workers away from the treated field until the spray dries.
