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.
