Fipronil is an organic compound with the chemical formula C12H4Cl2F6N4OS. It is a phenylpyrazole - type insecticide with a wide insecticidal spectrum. It mainly acts on pests through stomach - poison, and also has contact - killing and certain systemic effects. Its mechanism of action lies in hindering the chloride metabolism controlled by γ - aminobutyric acid in insects. Therefore, it has a high insecticidal activity against important pests such as aphids, leafhoppers, planthoppers, Lepidoptera larvae, flies, and Coleoptera, and has no phytotoxicity to crops. This pesticide can be applied to the soil or sprayed on the leaf surface. When applied to the soil, it can effectively control corn rootworms, wireworms, and cutworms. When sprayed on the leaf surface, it has a high - level control effect on Plutella xylostella, Pieris rapae, rice thrips, etc., and has a long residual period.

Application | Fipronil has a wide insecticidal spectrum and exhibits contact - killing, stomach - poison, and moderate systemic effects. It can control both underground and above - ground pests. It can be used for foliar treatment, soil treatment, and seed treatment. Spraying 25 - 50 g of active ingredient per hectare on the leaf surface can effectively control pests such as Colorado potato beetles, Plutella xylostella, Trichoplusia ni, boll weevils, and Frankliniella intonsa. Using 50 - 100 g of active ingredient per hectare in paddy fields can effectively control pests such as stem borers and brown planthoppers. Spraying 6 - 15 g of active ingredient per hectare on the leaf surface can control pests of the genus Locusta and Schistocerca in grasslands. Applying 100 - 150 g of active ingredient per hectare to the soil can effectively control corn rootworms, wireworms, and cutworms. Treating corn seeds with 250 - 650 g of active ingredient per 100 kilograms of seeds can effectively control corn wireworms and cutworms. The main pests targeted by this product include aphids, leafhoppers, Lepidoptera larvae, flies, and Coleoptera. It is recommended by many pesticide experts as one of the preferred alternatives to highly toxic organophosphorus pesticides. |
