Fipronil AriaInsecticides

Fipronil Aria 0.2% G

Relatively Systemic Insecticide With Contact & Stomach Action

Fipronil is a highly effective, broad spectrum insecticide with potential value for the control of a wide range of crop like Striped stem borer on rice, public hygiene, amenity and veterinary pests. It belongs to the phenylpyrazole or fiprole group of chemicals and is a potent disrupter of the insect central nervous system via interference with the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA-) regulated chloride channel. Fipronil degrades slowly on vegetation and relatively slowly in soil and in water, with a half-life ranging between 36 hr and 7.3 mon depending on substrate and conditions. It is relatively immobile in soil and has low potential to leach into groundwater.
