AGRIVO AGENT GR – Fipronil 0.3% GR Insecticide

What is AGRIVO AGENT GR?

AGRIVO AGENT GR contains Fipronil 0.3% GR, a granular insecticide used for controlling a range of soil-dwelling, sucking and boring insect pests.

The granular formulation makes it suitable for direct application in the crop or soil without requiring the same type of spray preparation used for liquid formulations.

Fipronil works by interfering with normal nerve transmission in susceptible insects, helping reduce pest feeding and crop damage.

How Does Fipronil 0.3% GR Work?

Fipronil belongs to the phenylpyrazole group of insecticides.

It acts on the insect nervous system by interfering with GABA-regulated chloride channels. This disrupts normal nerve impulses and leads to the control of susceptible insect pests.

AGRIVO AGENT GR provides:

1. Contact action
2. Ingestion action
3. Targeted granular application
4. Protection against specified soil and crop pests

AGRIVO AGENT GR Uses, Crops and Target Pests

Indian pesticide-use information lists Fipronil 0.3% GR for the following crop-pest combinations:

1. Stem borer
2. Brown plant hopper
3. Green leaf hopper

Government and agricultural advisory documents also list Fipronil 0.3% GR among insecticidal options for rice pest management.

AGRIVO AGENT GR for Sugarcane

In sugarcane, Fipronil 0.3% GR is used against important boring pests including:

1. Early Shoot Borer – can attack young sugarcane shoots and affect crop establishment.
2. Root Borer – attacks the underground portion of the crop and can reduce plant vigour.
3. Registered product information lists both pests under Fipronil 0.3% GR applications in sugarcane.

AGRIVO AGENT GR for Wheat

Fipronil 0.3% GR is also registered for termite management in wheat.

Termites can damage germinating plants and roots, particularly where field conditions favour termite activity. Correct granular application can help protect the crop according to approved recommendations.

How to Use AGRIVO AGENT GR

AGRIVO AGENT GR is a granular formulation generally applied by broadcasting or soil application according to crop and product-label instructions.

Application requirements depend on:

1. Crop
