Bacterial leaf blight (BLB) Tolerance
BLB is a common disease that afflicts severe damage to fields especially during rainy season, and which there has presently no chemical cure. To prevent damage caused by this disease, Bayer CropScience introduced a hybrid in Asia with built-in tolerance to Bacterial Leaf Blight (BLB). Today, this trait is being progressively incorporated into all Arize® hybrids to help protect against BLB during the wet months.
Brown Plant Hopper (BPH) Tolerance
Insects such as the BPH are capable of destroying entire fields of rice. This migratory pest is resistant to most plant protection products and can induce severe yield losses by sucking the sap of rice plants and introducing viruses that cause serious setbacks to harvests. Bayer CropScience launched the very first dual trait hybrid rice variety in the Philippines that has tolerance for both BLB and BPH – Arize® AZ 8433 DT. This ensures that farmers have a first line of defense against this unpredictable pest.
Brown Plant Hopper (BPH)
Nilaparvata lugens
• BPH is a common insect pest
of rice and has re-emerged
in the Philippines
• Too much feeding causes
hopperburn or yellowing,
browning and drying of plant
• Infestation is more likely
to occur in areas with high
cropping intensity and
asynchronous planting

The first dual trait hybrid rice variety in the Philippines, Arize® AZ 8433 DT offers tolerance against Bacterial Leaf Blight (BLB) and Brown Plant Hopper (BPH).
