- Dual Mode of Action: Combines Fipronil (phenylpyrazole) and Acetamiprid (neonicotinoid) to attack the insect nervous system in multiple ways.
- Rapid Knockdown & Persistence: Delivers immediate cessation of feeding, reducing pest populations quickly while providing extended residual protection.
- Broad Spectrum Control: Highly effective against complex, resistant populations of sucking pests (thrips, aphids, jassids, whiteflies).
- Systemic & Translaminar Action: Rapidly absorbed into foliage to control pests hidden on the lower leaf surfaces.
- Ovicidal Action: Effectively kills insect eggs, stopping the next generation before they hatch.
- Resistance Management: Ideal for use in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) to prevent the development of pest resistance to single-agent treatments.
- Application Flexibility- Compatible with many other agricultural chemicals and can be used on a wide range of vegetables, fruits, and cash crops (e.g., Cotton, Chili)
- Dosage: Generally used at 2 ml per 1 liter of water, or 350-360 ml per 180-200 liters of water per acre.
- Formulation: Suspension Concentrate (SC), which is highly stable and mixes easily with water
- Protective Equipment: Wear protective clothing, goggles, and masks during application.
- Timing: For best results, use at the early sign of infestation
Dual Modes of Action for Broad-Spectrum ProtectionFipronil targets the insect's GABA-gated chloride channels, while Acetamiprid acts as a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonist. This unique combination disrupts pest nervous systems, effectively controlling both sucking and chewing pests. Its systemic and contact action offers extended protection for various agricultural crops.
Flexible Application and Reliable StabilityThis liquid suspension concentrate is miscible with water and remains stable under normal storage conditions. Offered in multiple packaging options, it adapts to different field requirements. The formulation maintains its efficacy for up to two years if stored properly in its original HDPE bottles, away from food and in cool, dry conditions.
