How It Works: Mode of Action
Fipronil is a phenylpyrazole insecticide. Its IRAC Group 2B classification describes how it affects the target pest, not permission to use it on every crop or pest.
-
Active ingredient: Agronil GR contains fipronil in a 0.3% granular formulation.
-
Nervous-system action: Fipronil blocks GABA-gated chloride channels, disturbing normal insect nerve signalling.
-
Formulation matters: The low-concentration soil granule has its own application directions. Do not substitute instructions for fipronil WG, SC or seed-treatment products.
A different fipronil brand is not a different mode of action. Plan label-compliant resistance management with a qualified crop adviser; do not rely on brand changes alone.
Target Crops & Pests
Use only the crop-target combinations on the supplied Agronil GR label. The wheat termite use is not a structural or household termite-treatment claim.

Dosage & Application Guide
Application Requirements
Use one complete crop-specific programme from the supplied pack and authorised AgroStar advice: match the pest, product quantity, soil or standing-water conditions, placement, equipment, timing and harvest interval. Do not combine a product quantity from one programme with the timing from another.
The 1 kg pack is a container size, not a fixed field dose or acreage promise. Do not prepare a per-litre or spray-pump recipe for this soil-applied granular product. Do not dilute it or change the application route unless the exact supplied label directs it.
Follow the crop-specific interval between the final application and harvest, together with separate re-entry and repeat-treatment restrictions. Do not assume a zero-day waiting period or unrestricted use.
How to Apply: Best Practices
-
Check the exact pack: Confirm Agronil GR, fipronil 0.3% GR, the manufacturer, crop and target pest before opening.
-
Use the granular route: Apply only by the soil method on the supplied label. Do not use Agronil 80 WG spray directions or a seed-treatment recipe.
-
Match field conditions: For rice, follow the supplied label’s complete broadcasting, applicator and standing-water instructions. Do not transfer rice field-water directions to sugarcane or wheat.
-
Choose the correct timing: Obtain the crop-specific application stage and repeat limits from the supplied pack and authorised guidance. Do not turn a general frequency claim into an automatic schedule.
-
Avoid unapproved mixtures: Do not assume compatibility with every chemical, fertiliser or other granule. Follow current labels or authorised guidance for the exact mixture.
-
Protect people and the environment: Wear the required protective equipment, avoid breathing dust and keep product out of water bodies. Observe the label’s pollinator restrictions and keep children, animals and unprotected people away.
