What are the different chemicals (insecticides, herbicides, molluscicide, fungicide) are commonly used in rice?

I am currently making a rice total production cost per hectare in the Philippines. I would like to know the commonly used pesticides and how much of each are needed per hectare. I do have data on prices.

    This book has the information you want:

    "Impact of Pesticides on Farmer Health and the Rice Environment" edited by Prabhu L. Pingali, Pierre A. Roger. IRRI, Philippines, 1995.

    This book lists all the different agrochemicals used in rice fields in the Philippines. In particular, read Pg. 100 for the list of chemicals and rate of application for each chemical. If you can't find the book, you have to make do with Google Books:
