Mortel GR Insecticide by Parijat
Fipronil 0.3% GR for listed rice pests, sugarcane borers and wheat termites.
Crop fit: Rice pests, sugarcane early shoot and root borers, and wheat
termites.
Paddy stage: Within 15–25 days after transplanting, with 2–3 cm standing water kept
impounded for 2–3 days after application.
Application: Uniform granular broadcasting using a hand-operated granule applicator
or mechanical dispenser; sufficient soil moisture is required in sugarcane and wheat.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
-
🌾 Purpose-built granules: The GR format is
intended for field broadcasting with a granule applicator or mechanical dispenser.
-
🎯 Crop-specific pest coverage: Listed uses
include rice borers and hoppers, early shoot and root borers in sugarcane, and termites in wheat.
-
🛡️ Contact and feeding action: Susceptible
pests encounter fipronil through contact with treated material or ingestion during feeding.
-
🌿 Systemic activity: The formulation has
systemic activity as well as contact and stomach action.

How It Works: Mode of Action
-
Pest exposure: Contact and feeding expose susceptible insects to the fipronil active ingredient.
-
Nerve-channel block: Fipronil blocks GABA-gated chloride channels and disrupts normal insect nerve signalling.
-
Excess nerve activity: Disrupted chloride flow causes excess nerve and muscle stimulation, leading to death of susceptible
insects.
Contact and ingestion are exposure routes for one active ingredient, not separate resistance groups. Mortel GR,
Mortel Plus and Mortel SC all contain Group 2B fipronil, so changing among them does not change the mode-of-action group. Their
strengths and application directions remain different.
Target Crops & Pests

Keep each crop with its own pest list. Similar product names do not authorise transferring a target or
treatment programme between the Mortel formulations.
Dosage & Application Guide
Granular Placement, Crop Stage & Moisture
Use Mortel GR as a broadcast treatment, not a foliage spray. In paddy, apply within 15–25 days after
transplanting, with 2–3 cm standing water kept impounded for 2–3 days after application. Sugarcane and wheat require sufficient soil
moisture; use the current pack for their crop-specific first timing rather than treating moisture alone as a
trigger.
Before applying, pair the product quantity and treated area with the crop’s application conditions and harvest
restriction. Broadcast uniformly using a hand-operated granule applicator or mechanical dispenser. Where a carrier is used, follow the
supplied pack’s carrier and preparation instructions; do not invent a mixing ratio.
How to Apply: Best Practices
-
Identify the 0.3% GR pack: Check Mortel GR and Fipronil 0.3% GR. Mortel Plus 0.6% GR and Mortel SC 5% SC have separate strengths,
target lists and directions.
-
Match the crop and insect: Keep the seven rice targets, two sugarcane borers and wheat termite use with their own crop directions.
Do not silently substitute leaf folder for rice leafhopper.
-
Plan paddy stage and water: Apply within 15–25 days after transplanting. Maintain 2–3 cm standing water and keep it impounded for
2–3 days after application; no spray dilution is not permission for dry-field use.
-
Check sugarcane and wheat conditions: Ensure sufficient soil moisture, but obtain the complete crop-specific first timing and
harvest directions before applying. A moisture condition is not itself a treatment trigger.
-
Broadcast uniformly: Use a hand-operated granule applicator or mechanical dispenser and keep it well maintained. Follow the pack if
using a carrier, and never mix with bare hands.
-
Record treatment and protect harvest: Record product, crop, field and application date. Observe the supplied harvest and re-entry
restrictions and check the crop programme before any repeat or mixture.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can Mortel GR be put into a spray tank?
No. It is a broadcast granule formulation, not the Mortel SC foliage-spray product. Follow its own
crop-specific label rather than borrowing a liquid-spray recipe.
2. Which crops and pests does it cover?
The listed pairings are rice with stem borer, brown planthopper, green leafhopper, rice leafhopper, rice
gall midge, whorl maggot and white-backed planthopper; sugarcane with early shoot and root borers; and wheat with termites.
3. How do I choose the application time?
In rice, apply within 15–25 days after transplanting. Sugarcane and wheat require sufficient soil moisture,
but moisture alone does not tell you when the first treatment should start. Confirm the full crop-specific programme on the pack
before applying.
4. Does broadcasting mean field water does not matter?
No. No spray dilution is needed for the granular route, but rice field-water management and sugarcane or
wheat soil moisture still matter. Follow the pack conditions together with its dose, timing and harvest restriction.
5. Does systemic action mean the product is harmless?
No. Systemic describes activity within the plant, not safety for people, animals or beneficial insects. Wear
the required protective equipment, avoid bare-hand mixing and follow the label precautions.

flames and heat. Prevent contamination of water sources.
Seek medical help after exposure or illness and take the pack or label; do not attempt antidote treatment
yourself. Contact, feeding or systemic activity is not a guarantee of safety to people or beneficial insects. This description
does not replace the registered label.
