Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- 🎯A useful thrips option: The brand lists thrips among its chilli and cotton targets. Check the complete crop–pest pairing rather than treating every thrips problem with the same programme.
- 🍽️Acts when pests feed: Fipronil acts when susceptible insects take in the treatment during feeding. This is stomach action, not a claim that existing crop damage can be reversed.
- 🛡️Also works by contact: Contact with the treatment can affect susceptible insects. Correct placement remains important and must follow the crop’s labelled application method.
- 🌾Several defined crop uses: Dhanuka lists field-crop and vegetable uses, with different targets for each. The crop table separates those uses so that a sugarcane recommendation is not mistaken for a cabbage recommendation.
- 🔎Clear resistance group: Its Group 2B classification identifies the way it acts on insects. Use that information, together with crop monitoring, to avoid repeatedly relying on the same mode of action.
Technical Specifications
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Brand Name | Fax SC Insecticide — Dhanuka Agritech Limited. |
| Technical Name | Fipronil 5% SC |
| IRAC MoA Code | Group 2B — GABA-gated chloride channel blockers. |
| Chemical Group | Phenylpyrazole (fiprole) insecticide. |
| Formulation | SC — suspension concentrate; use only by the method specified on the pack. |
| Toxicity Label | Follow the hazard classification and protective measures on the supplied Indian pack. |
How It Works: Mode of Action
Fax SC contains fipronil. It acts mainly through feeding, with contact activity as well. Dhanuka also describes systemic activity. Use only by the crop-specific method on the supplied label.
- The pest encounters treatment: Susceptible insects contact or ingest the product after a correctly labelled application. Correct placement helps bring the treatment to the target pest.
- Normal nerve signalling is disrupted: Fipronil blocks a chloride channel controlled by GABA, a nerve-signalling chemical. In simple terms, it interferes with the normal braking system of the insect’s nerves.
- The insect loses normal function: The disrupted nervous system prevents the pest from functioning normally and leads to death. This does not provide a guaranteed speed of kill or a fixed number of protection days.
Use the IRAC group information to plan resistance management with qualified crop advice. A different brand with the same mode of action is not a different resistance-management option.

Do not use this description alone to decide a dose or application method. Read the current label and leaflet supplied with the product before use.
*Dose, application method, water volume and harvest interval must be checked together for your crop. No numerical programme is provided here because these complete directions are unavailable.
PHI means the minimum time between the last treatment and harvest. It is not a repeat-treatment interval or a worker re-entry period. An unknown PHI does not mean immediate harvesting is allowed.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Check the crop and problem: Match the actual crop and identified pest or disease to the supplied label. Do not choose a pesticide only from the appearance of damaged leaves.
- Confirm the complete directions: Before measuring any product, confirm the dose, application method, water quantity, permitted timing and harvest interval for that crop.
- Measure and prepare correctly: Use the measuring equipment and preparation instructions given on the pack. Do not use kitchen utensils, mix by hand or turn a pack size into an assumed acreage dose.
- Protect people and nearby water: Wear the protective clothing, gloves, eye protection and other equipment required by the label. Keep people, livestock, food, feed and water sources away from handling and treatment.
- Record and review the treatment: Record the product, crop, area and application date. Use the label’s re-entry and harvest restrictions, and assess the crop before deciding whether another treatment is needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Which crops are listed for Fax SC?The listed uses cover rice, cabbage, chilli, sugarcane and cotton. Match each pest to its crop in the table and check your pack label before use.
2. Where can I find the correct Fax SC dose?Use the current label and leaflet supplied with Fax SC. The complete crop-specific dose, method, water volume and harvest interval are not provided here; check all of them before treatment.
3. Can I use the sugarcane recommendation as a leaf spray?Do not assume that. The sugarcane targets are early shoot borer and root borer, and the correct treatment placement must come from the supplied label. A liquid formulation alone does not prove a foliar, soil or sett-treatment method.
4. Is Fax SC the same as fipronil granules?No. This product contains fipronil 5% SC. Granules and other fipronil strengths have different formulation and use directions; do not transfer their dose or method to Fax SC.
5. When can I harvest or repeat the treatment?Check the crop-specific harvest interval, worker re-entry restriction and repeat-treatment limits on the current pack. A missing interval here does not mean you can harvest or re-treat immediately.
