About ISOPROTHIOLANE 28% + FIPRONIL 5% EC
Isoprothiolane 28% + Fipronil 5% EC is a powerful dual-action systemic pesticide (fungicide + insecticide) primarily used in rice (paddy) to control blast disease, stem borers, and hoppers. It offers both curative and protective benefits, featuring a high benefit-cost ratio, high efficacy in destroying pests, and lasting control for 10-15 days.
- Dual Action (Fungicide & Insecticide): This combination provides comprehensive protection by controlling both fungal infections (like Leaf/Neck Blast) and insects (Stem Borer, Whorl Maggot, Plant Hopper) at the same time, making it an ideal tool for integrated pest management.
- Systemic Action: Both components are absorbed by the plant, providing protective and curative treatment against diseases and pests.
- High Efficacy and Yield Boost: Research shows this mixture significantly reduces pest damage (like dead hearts) and disease (up to 100% reduction in blast). It is highly effective in increasing paddy yields due to its robust control.
- Cost-Effective: It offers a favorable cost-benefit ratio (e.g., 9.89:1).
- Versatility: It is effective in both nursery and main-field crops, particularly for paddy and even forcontrolling thrips and purple blotch in onions.
- Long-Lasting Control: Offers a consistent, long-lasting impact, usually lasting for 10-15 days, which reduces the need for frequent applications.
Fertilizer/Plant Health Benefits:
While primarily a pesticide, the reduction of disease and pest stress allows the plant to grow more efficiently, improving its overall health and productivity.
