Active ingredient and mode of action

  • Contains Fipronil 80% Water Dispersible Granules (WG), belonging to the phenylpyrazole chemical class.
  • Disrupts the insect central nervous system by blocking GABA-gated chloride channels, causing hyperexcitation, paralysis, and rapid mortality.
  • Demonstrates excellent systemic uptake and translaminar activity, protecting treated leaves and newly emerging plant foliage.

Target pests and labeled crops

  • Paddy (rice): Highly effective against yellow stem borer (Scirpophaga incertulas) and rice leaf folder (Cnaphalocrocis medinalis).
  • Chilli: Provides outstanding control of chilli thrips (Scirtothrips dorsalis), reducing leaf curl and virus vectoring.
  • Onion and grapes: Suppresses thrips infestations during sensitive vegetative and flowering stages.

Application timing and safe handling

  • Apply at early pest surge when monitoring traps or field scouts confirm populations crossing economic threshold levels (ETL).
  • Dissolve granules thoroughly in clean water and ensure uniform foliar coverage using recommended hollow-cone spray nozzles.
  • Strictly follow Central Insecticides Board & Registration Committee (CIBRC) approved label doses and wear personal protective equipment.
