Description
Fipronil 40% + Imidacloprid 40% WG is a powerful combination insecticide offering dual-action control against a wide range of sucking and chewing pests. Ideal for crops like cotton, rice, and vegetables, this formulation ensures long-lasting protection and superior crop health.
Mode of action
Fipronil disrupts the central nervous system of pests by blocking the GABA-gated chloride channels, causing hyperexcitation and death. Imidacloprid, a neonicotinoid, targets nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in pests, leading to paralysis and mortality. The dual mechanism enhances efficacy against resistant pests and provides both systemic and contact action.
Benefits
- Broad spectrum efficacy: Controls a variety of pests including aphids, thrips, hoppers, and borers.
- Dual mode of action: Combines systemic and contact activity for maximum pest control.
- Long lasting protection: Offers extended pest control with fewer applications.
- Resistance management: Effective against pest populations resistant to single-action insecticides.
- Improves yield: Minimizes pest damage, ensuring healthy and productive crops.
Application guidelines
Apply Fipronil 40% + Imidacloprid 40% WG as a foliar spray or soil treatment, depending on the target pest and crop. Follow the recommended dosage and application intervals for optimal results. Ensure thorough coverage for uniform pest control.
