Agadi G - Fipronil 0.3% GR - ADAMA
Agadi G - Fipronil 0.3% GR - ADAMA
Agadi G | Fipronil 0.3% GR Insecticide
ADAMA Agadi G contains fipronil 0.3% GR, a phenylpyrazole insecticide with contact and feeding activity for
permitted crop-pest uses.
Crop and pest fit: Rice pests and sugarcane early shoot and root borers; check
wheat termite use against the current pack.
Distinct granular product: GR is the 0.3% granular formulation, not the 5% SC
liquid concentrate.
Placement comes first: Establish the exact crop-specific application method and
field conditions before using the granules.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
-
🐛 Contact activity: Susceptible insects can
be affected through contact with the treatment when it is placed as directed.
-
🍃 Activity through feeding: Fipronil also
acts after ingestion. This is not permission to prepare a bait or use an unlisted application route.
-
🌾 Crop-specific pest scope: Keeps rice and
sugarcane pest uses distinct, with a separate wheat termite check.
-
📦 Clearly defined granular form: The 0.3% GR
identity helps distinguish this product from liquid and higher-strength fipronil formulations before measuring.

How It Works: Mode of Action
-
The susceptible pest is exposed: Contact or feeding exposes the insect to fipronil after a correctly selected and applied crop
treatment.
-
Nerve regulation is disrupted: Fipronil blocks GABA-gated chloride channels, which help regulate nerve signalling.
-
Normal insect function is impaired: Disrupted nerve activity interferes with movement and survival in susceptible pests. No fixed
kill time is promised.
Contact and feeding activity do not establish whole-plant systemic movement. Account for Group 2B in earlier
and future treatments; changing to liquid fipronil is not a new mode of action. Control of every resistant pest population is not
guaranteed.

Termites: confirm this crop-pest use on the current Agadi G pack |
Match the crop and target to your current pack before treatment. Rice leafhopper and leaf folder are not
interchangeable names. Wheat termite use does not establish permission for buildings, household treatment, baiting or seed
treatment.
Dosage & Application Guide
Granule Placement & Field-Condition Checks
Before applying Agadi G, establish the crop-specific product amount, placement, first-treatment stage, any
carrier or field-water requirement and harvest interval from the current pack. Do not assume that broadcasting, incorporation or
mixing with fertiliser is permitted merely because the product is granular.
No spray dilution or per-litre recipe is provided for this GR product. Do not improvise a liquid from granules
or transfer the amount and application method of Agadi SC. Missing harvest information does not mean immediate harvest, and any repeat
or worker re-entry limit must be checked separately.
How to Apply: Best Practices
-
Identify the exact product: Confirm Agadi G and fipronil 0.3% GR on the container. A similar brand name does not establish the same
strength or method.
-
Match the crop and pest: Keep the listed rice pests, sugarcane borers and wheat termite check with their own current-pack
directions.
-
Confirm placement before opening: Determine where and how the granules are to be applied, the crop stage and any field-water
conditions. Do not assume a carrier, water depth, irrigation interval or incorporation method.
-
Handle granules without improvisation: Use the specified protection and suitable measuring equipment. Do not mix with bare hands,
crush into a spray or add fertiliser or another material without permission.
-
Protect non-target areas: Keep granules, equipment washings and empty packs away from food, feed, water and non-target areas.
Follow current-pack weather, equipment and disposal precautions.
-
Record treatment and mixture permission: Record crop, pest and date, and follow harvest, re-entry and further-use limits. Use a
mixture only when both current labels permit the proposed combination for the crop and use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is Agadi G the same as Agadi SC?
No. Agadi G is fipronil 0.3% GR, while Agadi SC is fipronil 5% SC. Their strengths, physical forms and
crop-specific application directions differ; the same quantity cannot be substituted.
2. Does contact and feeding activity mean systemic?
No. Those terms describe how the pest encounters the treatment. They do not establish whole-plant systemic
movement or permission to change the application route.
3. Can I dissolve the granules or mix them with fertiliser?
Do not improvise either method. Use the exact granular preparation and placement directions on the current
pack. Any proposed combination must be permitted by both current labels for the crop and use.
4. Can wheat termite directions be used in a building?
No. A crop-pest use is not a structural or household termite programme. Confirm wheat termite permission on
the current Agadi G pack and do not extend it to buildings, baiting or seed treatment.
5. Does switching to Agadi SC change resistance group?
No. Both contain fipronil, an IRAC Group 2B insecticide. A formulation change alone is not a mode-of-action
rotation; plan label-approved options with crop-specific resistance advice.
Safety & Disclaimer
Before you use it: Read the current Indian Agadi G label and leaflet before handling or use,
including crop-pest approval, granule placement, field conditions, protective equipment, weather, first treatment, re-entry,
harvest, first-aid, storage and disposal directions. Do not use liquid-product instructions for these granules.
Wear the protective clothing and equipment required on the pack. Prevent skin, eye and mouth contact and
inhalation exposure, including dust, spray mist, fog or vapour as applicable. Do not mix with bare hands or eat, drink, smoke or
chew while handling or applying the product. Wash thoroughly afterwards and keep people and animals away from treatment as
directed.
Keep the product in its original labelled container, secured away from children, food and feed. Prevent
contamination of water, drains and non-target plants. Follow the pack’s equipment-cleaning and disposal directions; never reuse
empty pesticide containers. If exposure or illness occurs, stop work and seek medical help promptly with the product label. Follow
professional medical advice rather than attempting an improvised antidote.
