Fipronil 5% SC – FiproShield

Description

About Product:

FiproShield is an advanced insecticide formulated with Fipronil 5% SC, a powerful active ingredient renowned for its effectiveness against a broad spectrum of crop-damaging pests. This innovative formulation is designed to meet the specific needs of Indian farmers by targeting pests that harm the health and productivity of key crops like paddy, sugarcane, cotton, vegetables, and more. FiproShield provides dual-action protection: it works as both a preventive and curative solution by attacking pests at various life stages, ensuring comprehensive and long-lasting pest control.

The unique mode of action of FiproShield lies in its ability to disrupt the central nervous system of insects. It binds to the GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) receptors in pests, causing hyper-excitation of the nerves, paralysis, and ultimately, the death of the pest. This targeted mechanism ensures that FiproShield effectively eliminates pests while minimizing its impact on beneficial insects and the environment when used as directed.

FiproShield is particularly effective in controlling soil-borne and foliar pests such as termites, stem borers, aphids, jassids, and root grubs, which can devastate crops if left unchecked. It ensures robust root systems and healthier plant growth, significantly reducing the chances of reinfestation.

The formulation’s suspension concentrate (SC) technology enhances its solubility and adherence to crop surfaces, providing better coverage and resistance to washing off by rain. It is suitable for use in various climatic conditions, making it an ideal choice for diverse farming environments across India. FiproShield promotes healthier crops, improved yields, and higher economic returns for farmers by offering a reliable solution to manage pest infestations effectively.
