Fipronil Arika 0.4 w/w Alnoor Agro Chemicals Price in Pakistan

Fipronil Arika 5 SC is a broad‑spectrum phenylpyrazole insecticide

Formulated as a suspension concentrate (SC) containing 5% w/v Fipronil (equivalent granular formulation is 0.4% G). Developed by Alnoor Agro Chemicals and officially registered in Pakistan under Form‑16, it is designed for both contact and systemic control of soil‑ and foliage‑borne insect pests

Features

• Broad-spectrum insect control: Targets sucking and chewing pests across multiple crops

• Dual action (Systemic & Contact): Insects ingest it or are killed on contact—a powerful two-pronged approach

• Long residual activity: Provides extended protection, reducing application frequency

• Crop-safe formulation: Low phytotoxicity risk when used as directed; even exhibits a greening effect on treated crops

• Water-based SC formulation: Environmentally friendly and ensures good adherence to plant surfaces

Benefits

• Improved crop yields: Shields plants during early vulnerable stages, supporting healthy growth

• Cost-effective pest management: Fewer sprays are needed, reducing labor and input expenses

• Effective against resistant pests: Ideal for managing pest populations that resist conventional insecticides

• Supports IPM programs: Minimizes harm to beneficial insects when integrated with other control methods

• Eco‑compatible application: Water-based formula and targeted use help reduce environmental impact

Recommended Uses & Dosage

Crops & Pest Spectrum

• Rice: Controls stem borers, leaf folders, plant hoppers

• Maize: Effective against shoot borers and termites

• Sugarcane: Protects from top shoot borers and soil termites

• Potatoes: Controls white grubs and soil-borne pests

• Vegetables (e.g., brinjal, tomato, cabbage): Manages aphids, whiteflies, caterpillars and other chewing pests

Application Methods & Rates

• Foliar spray: Mix 50–100 ml per 100 litres of water, apply uniformly once pests reach economic threshold levels

• Soil treatment (e.g., for termites): Use 2–3 ml per litre of water, drench soil at planting or for infestation control

• Seed treatment: Coat seeds before sowing to protect early growth stages from pests

For generic Fipronil granular use (0.4% G) in rice, typical broadcast rate is 6 kg per acre; for SC, it’s 480 ml per acre

Safety & Precautions

• Apply during calm weather to avoid drift and off-target exposure

• Avoid spraying near water bodies to protect aquatic ecosystems

• Wear protective gear—gloves, masks, protective clothing—to ensure user safety

• Follow label instructions strictly; avoid exceeding recommended dosage or mixing with incompatible treatments

Use Cases in Pakistan

• Rice fields: Apply 480 ml per acre when stem borers or plant hoppers reach critical levels

• Sugarcane & maize fields: Use as pre-plant soil treatment to deter termites and borers

• Vegetable nurseries: Seed treatment and foliar spray to prevent early pest infestation

• Potato crop management: Soil drench to mitigate damage from grubs pre‑planting
