Fipronil 0.6% w/w GR
Technical Name: Fipronil 0.6% w/w GR
Major Crops: Paddy sugarcane
Dose/Acre: 4 to 5 kg per acre.
- Central Nervous System Disruption: Fipronil blocks GABA-gated chloride channels in insects, causing hyperexcitation, paralysis, and death.
- Dual Mode of Action: It acts through both contact (physical exposure) and ingestion (stomach action).
- Plant Growth Enhancement (PGE): Beyond pest control, it is known to improve root development, increase the number of productive tillers, and enhance water uptake, leading to higher crop yields.
- Long-Lasting Protection: The granular formulation provides slow-release protection at the root zone, making it highly effective against underground pests.
