Ganno Insecticide (Fipronil 40% + Imidacloprid 40% WG)
The Ultimate Dual-Action Solution for White Grubs and Sucking Pests.
Ganno is a premium, high-power combination insecticide designed to tackle the toughest soil and foliar pests. By merging two potent active ingredients—Fipronil and Imidacloprid—into a single high-quality granule, it offers complete protection for crops like Sugarcane, Groundnut, Cotton, and Paddy.
Why it stands out: Unlike standard insecticides, Ganno doesn't just kill pests; it boosts plant health. Its unique "Phytotonic" effect promotes greener leaves and stronger root systems, helping you maximize your yield while eliminating threats like White Grubs and Aphids.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Ganno attacks the insect nervous system from two angles, ensuring no pest survives.
- Fipronil Action (The Brake Remover): It blocks the GABA-gated chloride channels in the insect's central nervous system. This causes hyperexcitation, paralysis, and death.
- Imidacloprid Action (The Systemic Attacker): It mimics acetylcholine, permanently opening nerve channels. This leads to continuous nerve firing, tremors, and elimination of the pest.
- Dual Entry: Pests die if they touch the soil (Contact) or eat the treated roots/leaves (Stomach/Systemic).
This combination is excellent for managing resistance—pests immune to one chemical are often killed by the other.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Sugarcane | White Grub, Termites |
| Groundnut | White Grub, Aphids, Jassids, Thrips |
| Cotton & Paddy (Rice) | Jassids, Thrips, Brown Plant Hopper (BPH), Stem Borer |
Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results.
Dosage per Acre, Water Volume, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (g / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (g / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sugarcane | 175 - 200 g | 400 - 500 L | ~ 0.4 g/L | 296 Days |
| Groundnut | 100 - 120 g | 300 - 400 L | ~ 0.3 g/L | -- |
| Cotton / Paddy | 40 - 50 g | 200 L | ~ 0.25 g/L | -- |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting. Note the long waiting period for Sugarcane.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: For Sugarcane/White Grubs, apply at planting or early vegetative stage. Do not apply late in the season due to the long residue period.
- Mixing: This is a WG (Granule) formulation. Dissolve the required quantity in a small amount of water first to make a slurry, then add to the main tank.
- Coverage: For soil pests (Grubs), drench the root zone thoroughly using a knapsack sprayer (nozzle removed) or drip irrigation.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Toxic to fish and bees—avoid water bodies and flowering stages.
