Parijat Ahead Fipronil 80% WG Insecticide

• High-strength WG formulation: Fipronil 80% in a water-dispersible granule formulation.
• Registered crop uses: Labelled for stem borer and leaf folder in rice, thrips in grapes and onion, and diamondback moth in cabbage.
• Contact and stomach action: Target insects are exposed through treated surfaces and feeding.
• IRAC Group 2B: GABA-gated chloride channel blocker chemistry for resistance-group planning.
• Crop-specific directions: Dose, spray-water volume and pre-harvest interval differ by crop and must not be generalised.

Fipronil interferes with GABA-gated chloride channels in the insect nervous system. Susceptible pests exposed through contact with treated surfaces or through feeding become unable to regulate normal nerve signalling. Performance depends on correct pest identification, application timing, dose, spray coverage and local conditions.

Repeated use of a single mode-of-action group can select resistant insect populations. Do not rely on Ahead for every generation. Rotate with effective products from a different IRAC group that are registered for the same crop and pest, and follow local integrated pest-management advice. Product recommendations on this store are alternatives, not tank-mix instructions.

PHI means the minimum interval between the last application and harvest. Do not calculate a per-acre or per-litre dose without following the exact water volume and directions on the current label. Although Fipronil 80% WG has other registered uses in India, publish them for this brand only after confirming the current Ahead pack leaflet.

• Confirm the target: Use only against the pest listed for the intended crop.
• Measure accurately: Follow the formulation-per-hectare rate and spray-water volume from the current label.
• Coverage: Calibrate the sprayer and apply uniformly to the crop area while avoiding drift and runoff.
• Resistance management: Rotate with a different effective IRAC group; do not use recommendations as permission to tank mix.
• Waiting period: Observe the crop-specific PHI before harvest.

Wear gloves, an apron or protective clothing and a suitable mask while handling and spraying. Avoid contact with eyes, mouth and skin and avoid breathing spray mist. Do not eat, drink, smoke or chew during application. Wash exposed skin and bathe after use. Keep the product in its original container away from children, food and feed. If exposure occurs, seek medical attention and show the label; no specific antidote is stated and treatment is symptomatic under medical supervision. Always follow the current Ahead label and leaflet. This page is guidance, not a substitute for the label.
