Chemical properties and GABA receptor neurotoxic mechanism
Jump contains an ultra-concentrated formulation of Fipronil engineered for precise foliar and systemic root protection.
- Blocks GABA-regulated chloride ion channels in insect neurons (IRAC Group 2B), causing uncontrolled excitation and fatal convulsions.
- Broad-spectrum dual action: Controls chewing caterpillar borers as well as sap-sucking nymphs upon direct contact or ingestion.
- Systemic root uptake: Absorbed through plant roots and translocated through xylem to protect developing stems and leaves.
- Water-dispersible granule (80% WG) formulation: Eliminates hazardous organic solvents while ensuring quick, complete dissolution.
Target crops and major pest complexes
Jump is officially approved under CIBRC regulations for managing challenging pest outbreaks in key staple and horticultural crops.
- Rice (Paddy): Long-lasting control of yellow stem borer (preventing deadhearts and whiteheads) and rice leaf folder.
- Grapes: Exceptional control of grape thrips that scar developing flower buds and young berries.
- Chilli: Control of yellow and black thrips causing upward leaf curl and flower drop.
- Sugarcane: Early shoot borer management during cane sett germination and early tillering.
Phytotonic effect, root development, and environmental safety
Treated crops exhibit a noticeable phytotonic response, including deeper green foliage, sturdier tillering, and enhanced secondary root branching. Because Fipronil is toxic to aquatic organisms and foraging bees, avoid draining treated paddy field water into natural canals, and spray only during late evening hours when bees are not actively foraging. Applicators must wear standard personal protective equipment.
