Agadi SC - Fipronil 5% SC - ADAMA
Agadi SC | Fipronil 5% SC Insecticide
ADAMA Agadi SC contains fipronil 5% SC, a phenylpyrazole insecticide with contact and feeding activity for
permitted pests in rice, cabbage, chilli, sugarcane and cotton.
Crop fit: Rice, cabbage, chilli, sugarcane and cotton, with the target pests kept
crop-specific below.
Exposure and effect: Contact and ingestion activity against susceptible insects; no
whole-plant systemic claim is implied.
Method matters: The SC formulation alone does not establish a foliar spray,
soil-directed use or sugarcane placement method.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
-
🐛 Contact activity: Susceptible pests can be
affected when they contact the correctly applied treatment.
-
🍃 Activity through feeding: Ingestion
provides another route of pest exposure, without implying an unlisted bait or application method.
-
🌾 Distinct crop-pest uses: Pairs each crop
with its own targets and separates cotton sucking pests from bollworms.
-
💧 Defined suspension concentrate: The 5% SC
liquid can be distinguished from 0.3% granules and other fipronil formulations before measuring and preparation.

How It Works: Mode of Action
-
The susceptible pest encounters treatment: The ingredient acts following contact or ingestion under the correctly matched crop
use.
-
Nerve-signal regulation is blocked: Fipronil blocks GABA-gated chloride channels, disturbing the normal regulation of insect nerve
activity.
-
Normal movement and survival are affected: Disrupted nerve activity impairs normal function in susceptible insects. No fixed speed
or control duration is promised.
These contact and feeding effects do not establish systemic movement throughout the plant. Fipronil remains
Group 2B whether formulated as SC or GR. Do not assume a formulation change prevents resistance or controls every resistant
population.
Target Crops & Pests

| Rice |
Stem borer; brown planthopper; green leafhopper; rice leafhopper; rice gall midge; whorl maggot; white-backed planthopper |
| Cabbage |
Diamondback moth |
| Chilli |
Thrips; aphids; fruit borers |
| Sugarcane |
Early shoot borer; root borer |
| Cotton: sucking pests |
Aphids; jassids; thrips; whiteflies |
| Cotton: bollworms |
Bollworms |
Confirm each crop-pest pairing on the current Agadi SC pack. Cotton sucking pests and bollworms are distinct
uses, not one assumed rate. Rice leafhopper is not leaf folder. No building-termite, household, bait or seed-treatment use is
established by this crop description.
Dosage & Application Guide
Crop-Specific Route, Water & Treatment Checks
Obtain the complete current Agadi SC directions for the selected crop and pest before treatment: application
route, product amount and its units, water or carrier, first-treatment stage or condition and harvest interval. Do not infer a foliar
or sugarcane placement method from the liquid formulation alone.
Measure the commercial product using the exact units on the current pack. Do not assume grams and millilitres
are interchangeable or copy a universal tank dose. Keep crop, target, route, product and water together; check harvest, repeat and
re-entry restrictions separately.
How to Apply: Best Practices
-
Confirm the exact liquid formulation: Check Agadi SC and fipronil 5% SC. Do not use the granular Agadi G quantity or placement
directions.
-
Choose the correct pest use: Identify the crop and target. In cotton, keep sucking-pest directions separate from bollworm
directions rather than merging their product amounts.
-
Establish the route and first timing: Follow the current crop directions for the application method, stage and treatment
conditions. Do not substitute an invented threshold, automatic calendar spray or soil placement.
-
Prepare only by the pack directions: Use the crop-specific amount, water or carrier and mixing instructions with suitable measuring
equipment. Sprayer capacity alone does not establish a rate.
-
Protect people and surroundings: Use the required protection and keep treatment, washings and empty packs away from people,
animals, food, feed and water. Follow weather, drift, equipment-cleaning and non-target precautions.
-
Record treatment and mixtures: Record crop, pest and treatment date and respect 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. Can Agadi SC replace Agadi G at the same quantity?
No. Agadi SC is fipronil 5% SC and Agadi G is fipronil 0.3% GR. The strengths, physical forms, units and
application directions differ.
2. Is Agadi SC systemic?
Contact and ingestion activity describe pest exposure; they do not establish whole-plant systemic movement.
Do not change the crop-specific application route on that assumption.
3. Are the cotton sucking-pest and bollworm uses the same?
They are separate uses. Match aphids, jassids, thrips or whiteflies to their own crop directions, and
bollworms to theirs. Do not combine them into one assumed product amount or treatment trigger.
4. Can I use one millilitres-per-litre recipe for every crop?
No universal concentration is given here. Use the exact current-pack units and complete crop-pest
directions, including method and water. Do not equate grams with millilitres or infer a dose from tank capacity.
5. Does the sugarcane use prove a soil method or a household termite use?
No. Sugarcane early shoot and root borers require their own exact application route and timing. This crop
description does not authorise soil placement by inference, building-termite treatment, household use, baiting or seed treatment.
Safety & Disclaimer
Before you use it: Read the current Indian Agadi SC label and leaflet before handling or use,
including crop-pest approval, measurement units, mixing, route, first-treatment conditions, protective equipment, weather,
re-entry, harvest, first-aid, storage and disposal directions. Do not transfer the method of a granular fipronil
product.
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.
