Fiptor 80 Insecticide (Fipronil 40% + Imidacloprid 40% WG)
The Ultimate "Root-to-Tip" Defense Against White Grubs and Sucking Pests.
Fiptor 80 (by Parijat Industries) is a high-power, dual-action insecticide designed to protect your crops from the soil up. It combines two potent active ingredients—Fipronil and Imidacloprid—into a single, easy-to-mix granule. This unique formula not only eliminates tough soil pests like White Grubs and Termites but also travels inside the plant to stop sucking pests like Aphids and Jassids.
Best For: Farmers seeking a "one-shot" solution for soil pests in Sugarcane and Groundnut, with the added bonus of greener, healthier plants.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
-
⏱️
Dual-Action Power: Combines contact (touch) and systemic (absorbed) action to kill pests hiding in the soil and on the leaves simultaneously.
-
🛡️
Complete "Root-to-Tip" Protection: Creates a lethal barrier around the roots while moving up the plant stem to protect new shoots from sucking insects.
-
⏳
Long-Lasting Residual Control: Stays active in the soil for an extended period, protecting crops like Sugarcane through their most vulnerable growth stages.
-
🌧️
Advanced WDG Technology: These "No-Dust" granules dissolve instantly in water, making them safer to handle and preventing nozzle clogging during spray.
-
🌿
Phytotonic "Green" Effect: Acts as a stress reliever for plants, boosting root development and photosynthesis for visibly greener crops and higher yields.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Fiptor 80 uses a "Synergistic" approach, attacking the insect's nervous system from two different angles to ensure rapid mortality and break resistance.
- Nerve Blockade (Fipronil): Upon contact or ingestion, Fipronil blocks the GABA receptors (chloride channels). This stops the "calming" signals in the insect's nerves, causing severe hyperexcitation and tremors.
- Systemic Overload (Imidacloprid): Absorbed by the roots, this component moves up the plant. When insects feed on the sap, it mimics acetylcholine (a neurotransmitter) and permanently "switches on" the nerves, leading to paralysis.
- Feeding Cessation: The unique combination causes an "antifeedant" effect, meaning pests stop eating your crop almost immediately after exposure, preventing further damage even before they die.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Sugarcane | White Grub (Root/Soil), Termites, Early Shoot Borer |
| Groundnut | White Grub, Aphids, Jassids, Thrips |
| Cotton & Rice | Jassids, Thrips, Brown Plant Hoppers (BPH), Stem Borers |
Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results. For soil application, high water volume is critical to reach the roots.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (g / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Method | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sugarcane | 175g – 200g | 400 – 500 L | Spray over setts in furrow | 296 |
| Groundnut | 100g – 120g | 200 L | Soil Drench / Spray | 40 - 60 |
| Cotton/Rice | Varies (Refer Label) | 200 L | Foliar / Drench | - |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing (Sugarcane): Apply at the time of planting. Spray the solution directly over the cane setts (seeds) placed in the furrows before covering them with soil.
- Mixing: Dissolve the granules in a small quantity of water first to create a solution, then add to the full tank. The WDG formulation dissolves quickly.
- Coverage: Use high water volume (minimum 400 Liters per acre for sugarcane) to ensure the chemical creates a complete barrier in the soil.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Avoid applying when bees are actively foraging (flowering stage).
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the primary use of Fiptor 80?
It is primarily used for the control of subterranean (soil) pests like White Grubs and Termites in Sugarcane and Groundnut, while also controlling sucking pests.
2. Does Fiptor 80 help with plant growth?
Yes. It provides "Phytotonic effects," which means it reduces plant stress, improves root growth, and makes the crop look greener and healthier.
3. Is Fiptor 80 safe for Honey Bees?
No. Fipronil and Imidacloprid are toxic to bees. Do not apply during the flowering stage when bees are active.
4. Can I use this for Stem Borers in Rice?
Yes, the combination is effective against Stem Borers and Leaf Folders in Rice, while also managing Brown Plant Hoppers.
5. What is the cost per acre for Sugarcane?
At a dosage of ~200g per acre, the cost is approximately ₹1,600 - ₹2,000 per acre (based on standard retail pricing), which acts as insurance for your high-value crop.
