Hoppers are destructive pests that can cause significant crop losses, especially in rice crops. Hoppers develop tolerance at a faster pace, making existing solutions useless. Bayer’s Glamore insecticide is a solution to the most feared farmers’ problem of hopper pests. This proactive spray helps farmers prevent hopper attacks, ensuring crop protection against broad-spectrum hoppers.

Glamore contains a combination of imidacloprid and ethiprole. Its dual mode of action effectively controls the pest affecting rice crops while addressing the issue of tolerance.

Ethiprole in Glamore acts on the nervous system of the insect by regulating the chloride channel. It has a high level of selective toxicity, so cross–resistance is not likely.

Similarly, imidacloprid in Glamore, an antagonist to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, disrupts the signal transmission in the nervous system of the insect, leading to nerve cell excitation and, ultimately, the death of the treated insect.
