Forpido Insecticide | Chlorantraniliprole 0.53% +
Fipronil 0.8% w/w GR
A two-active granular insecticide for rice yellow stem borer,
applied by broadcasting granules mixed with sand.
What it controls: Rice yellow stem borer in paddy; do not transfer other pest
claims from different granule formulations.
When to use it: Intended for early-stage stem-borer control. This broad description
does not define a first-treatment stage; follow the supplied pack’s crop and pest-stage directions.
What to include: The correct granule weight, label-directed sand broadcasting,
field-water instructions and harvest interval.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
-
🌾 Focused rice-borer use: Targets rice
yellow stem borer in paddy without extending the use to other pests.
-
🔗 Ready-formulated combination: Chlorantraniliprole and fipronil are supplied together in one granular formulation, without an improvised mixture of separate
products.
-
🧺 Granular application format: Granules are
broadcast mixed with sand, rather than prepared as a millilitre-per-litre foliar spray.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Forpido combines two active ingredients for rice-borer
control.
-
Chlorantraniliprole enters through feeding and contact: Chlorantraniliprole acts mainly when insects feed on the treatment, with
contact also contributing.
-
Chlorantraniliprole disrupts muscle function: Its action on calcium release interferes with normal insect movement and feeding.
-
Fipronil disrupts nerve signalling: Fipronil blocks GABA-gated chloride channels. In plain English, this interferes with the
signals that normally regulate insect nerve activity.
The premix contains Groups 28 and 2B. Do not repeatedly rely on
either group without suitable local resistance-management advice and crop monitoring. A premix does not prevent resistance by itself,
and mechanism alone does not establish application timing or method.

Dosage & Application Guide
Granule reference and harvest restriction
Formulation reference: For rice yellow stem borer, 7.5 kg
of product per hectare is approximately 3.04 kg per acre. This amount is a factual reference for this exact formulation, not a
complete application programme.
Application route: Broadcasting granules mixed with sand,
not preparing a per-litre spray. Correct granule placement and field conditions matter. Obtain the supplied Forpido pack’s first crop
and pest-stage window, sand amount and condition, distribution instructions, field-water conditions and any irrigation restrictions
before starting.
The broad description of early-stage control does not supply those
details. This guide does not establish a sand quantity or ratio, water depth, fixed application count, repeat schedule or numerical
worker re-entry interval. Do not guess them or substitute a spray-water recipe.
Harvest safeguard: The formulation reference gives a 53-day
pre-harvest interval (PHI), counted from the final treatment to harvest. PHI is the minimum interval between the final treatment and
harvest, not a repeat-treatment interval or a worker re-entry period. Confirm the applicable restrictions on the supplied Forpido
label.
These reference facts do not replace the complete directions on
the supplied pack. Do not begin treatment until the amount, first-treatment stage, sand and field-water requirements are confirmed
together.
How to Apply: Best Practices
-
Confirm exact formulation: Check chlorantraniliprole 0.53% + fipronil 0.8% GR and rice yellow stem borer on the supplied pack.
Other percentages are not interchangeable.
-
Measure the treated area: Measure the formulated granules by weight. The approximate 3.04 kg/acre reference corresponds to 7.5
kg/ha; confirm the complete supplied-pack directions before measuring out a treatment.
-
Use the labelled broadcasting method: The application route is mixing with sand and broadcasting. Obtain the current pack’s sand
quantity, condition and distribution instructions before starting.
-
Follow field-water and timing instructions: Check the actual rice and pest stage, field-water conditions and any irrigation
restrictions on the current label. Do not guess a water depth.
-
Protect people and water: Use the required protective equipment, avoid granule dust, drift and spillage, and prevent contamination
of drains, ponds and other water bodies.
-
Record the harvest restriction: Record the treatment date and observe the applicable waiting period. The formulation reference is
53 days from final treatment to harvest; follow the current supplied pack restrictions.
-
Check mixtures: Mix with another product only when both current labels expressly permit the proposed combination for the crop and
use. Physical compatibility alone is not permission to mix.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is Forpido a spray insecticide?
No. This is a GR granular formulation applied by broadcasting mixed with sand, not by preparing a per-litre
spray.
2. What is the acre quantity reference?
The 7.5 kg/ha formulation reference converts to approximately 3.04 kg/acre. It is not a complete treatment
programme; confirm the supplied pack’s first-treatment stage, sand and field-water directions before use.
3. How much sand should I add?
The application route uses sand, but this guide does not establish the sand amount, condition or ratio.
Obtain the exact instructions on the supplied Forpido pack before starting.
4. Can I use it for rice leaf folder?
This guide covers rice yellow stem borer only. Do not transfer leaf-folder claims from another
chlorantraniliprole–fipronil formulation.
5. When can the crop be harvested?
The formulation reference gives a 53-day waiting period. Check the current pack and count the applicable
interval from the final treatment to harvest. This is not a re-entry or repeat-treatment period.
