Mode of Action and Spectrum of Control
Containing 80% Fipronil in dry granule form, Jump dissolves rapidly in water to provide potent systemic and translaminar activity. By binding to insect nerve GABA receptors, it causes rapid cessation of feeding followed by insect mortality.
The granular formulation reduces operator exposure to solvent fumes compared to liquid emulsifiable concentrates.
- Paddy: Severe yellow stem borer outbreaks and leaf folder larvae.
- Chilli: Thrips (Scirtothrips dorsalis) and fruit borer infestations.
- Cole crops: Diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella) on cabbage and cauliflower.
- Vigor effect: Exhibited translaminar movement improves green foliage health and root development.
Handling and Spray Stewardship
Because of its concentrated active content, precise calibration of spray tanks and knapsack nozzles is essential. Growers must strictly observe the pre-harvest interval (PHI) indicated on the package label.
Adhering to proper resistance management strategies ensures long-term efficacy across successive seasons.
- Prepare a homogenous pre-mix in a bucket of clean water before filling the spray tank.
- Wear full eye protection, protective mask, and rubber gloves during handling.
- Store exclusively in the original sealed container in a cool, dry, ventilated farm storehouse away from food and animal feed.

Common questions
What makes Jump different from standard 5% SC Fipronil?
Jump is an ultra-concentrated 80% WG formulation, allowing lower application weight per hectare while offering rapid translaminar absorption into leaf tissues.
How does Jump control thrips in chilli?
Its systemic and translaminar action allows it to penetrate leaf folds and shoot tips where thrips hide, disrupting their nervous system on contact and ingestion.
When is the best time to apply Jump on paddy?
Foliar application is recommended at the initiation of pest emergence or when economic threshold levels for stem borer egg masses or dead hearts are detected.
