Product/Service Name
Fipronil
ApplicationsAs a soil treatment, fipronil provides excellent control of both soil
and selected foliar insect pests in various crops at application rates
significantly less than current standard insecticides.
AdvantagesFipronil is currently registered in more than 70 countries for the control of insect pests in more than100 crops. Registered crops range from row crops such as rice, corn, potatoes and small grains to specialty crops such as ornamentals, mangoes and chili peppers.
A decided strength of the molecule is its application and formulation flexibility. It can be used as either a foliar spray, soil application or a seed treatment, depending on the crop/pest situation. Due to its non-repellent properties, it is extremely effective in bait applications. A directed development program continues to find novel uses that reflect this flexibility.
Fipronil not only protects a grower’s harvest, but has also proven in some cases to increase crop yields.
