BENEFITS

There is target site specificity between insects and mammals, with Fipronil displaying tighter binding (i.e. higher potency) in the insect GABA chloride channel than mammals, providing useful selective toxicity. This sets Fipronil apart from most commercial insecticides

Fipronil has both contact and ingestion activity, but is particularly effective by way of ingestion. The rapid knockdown effect associated with some insecticides is absent in Fipronil and insect mortality may appear to be moderately slow. However, intermediate responses, such as cessation of feeding, may be noted soon after treatment. Residual control following foliar application is in general good to excellent

The site of action of Fipronil sets it apart from most commercial insecticides. A new generation insecticide belonging to new family of Phenyl Pyrazole

USAGE

MODE OF ACTION - Primarily acts as an ingestion toxicant with some complimentary contact action and acts by interfering in nerve impulse transmission. It interferes with the passage of chloride ions through the Gamma Amino Butyric Acid (GABA) regulated chloride channel, thereby disrupting CNS activity and at sufficient doses, causing insect death.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION - Thorough and even coverage of the crop is essential. Do not apply during the heat of the day or if the plants are wet or if rain is imminent.
