Product details
Shinzen Insecticide by IFFCO-MC
Fipronil 0.3% GR for the listed paddy, sugarcane and wheat pests. A broadcast granule programme, not a liquid foliar-spray recipe.
Active ingredient: Fipronil 0.3% GR.
Crop fit: Sugarcane, Paddy, Wheat.
Before applying: Match the crop, target, rate, method and harvest interval on the current pack.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- 🌾Three crop programmes: Paddy, sugarcane and wheat have separate pest and quantity rows.
- 📏Kilogram-basis rate: The granular product is measured in kg/acre, not ml or grams copied from liquid products.
- 🎯Specific targets: Borers, the verified paddy pest complex and wheat termites are distinguished.
- 🌱Broadcast formulation: No unsupported foliar spray dilution is substituted.
- 🔎Harvest caution: The unresolved sugarcane interval is flagged instead of confusing months with days.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Fipronil blocks GABA-gated chloride channels in insect nerve systems. This disrupts normal nerve signalling in susceptible pests.
- Place the granules correctly: Use the manufacturer’s broadcast route and the exact crop instructions on the pack.
- Expose the target pests: Granules must reach the labelled treatment zone; do not invent placement or carrier requirements.
- Disrupt insect signalling: GABA-channel blockade interferes with normal nerve function.
Use this product within a resistance-management programme. Switching brand names does not necessarily change the mode of action.
Target Crops & Pests
The following crop and target pairings are listed by IFFCO. Keep each programme with its own crop.
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Sugarcane |
|
| Paddy |
|
| Wheat |
|
All three manufacturer-listed crops are retained. The additional paddy target printed “Brown leaf hopper” requires label clarification before it is recommended as a particular planthopper or leafhopper species.
Dosage & Application Guide
The following are IFFCO’s crop-specific product rates. Follow the current pack if its directions differ.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (kg / Acre) | Water | Per litre | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sugarcane | 10–13 | Not spray | Not applicable | Confirm |
| Paddy | 6.67–10 | Not spray | Not applicable | 32 |
| Wheat | 8 | Not spray | Not applicable | 91 |
The direct brand quantities are kg/acre. “Not spray” means this is a broadcast granular programme, not a claim that irrigation or moisture requirements are absent. Follow the pack for those conditions.
Sugarcane PHI is held: exact brand Bazar says 9 months, while the September 2025 government formulation compilation says 9 days. These are not equivalent. Paddy 32 and wheat 91 days remain the branded intervals.
Confirm crop-stage timing, equipment, mixing sequence, repeat interval, maximum applications, rainfast time and re-entry directions on the supplied pack. Do not increase the rate or improvise a tank mix.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Match the exact formulation: Shinzen 0.3% GR is not Shinzen Plus 5% SC or Shinzen Ultra 0.6% GR.
- Measure and time the application: Use the crop-specific kg/acre rate. IFFCO describes use after paddy transplanting and at early stages of the other listed crops; the supplied label’s exact crop-stage and placement directions control.
- Broadcast as labelled: Confirm carrier, soil-moisture and irrigation requirements from the pack. Do not dissolve granules for an invented spray programme.
- Confirm waiting periods: Paddy is listed at 32 days and wheat at 91 days. Resolve the conflicting sugarcane PHI before applying.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Shinzen a liquid spray?No. This entry is fipronil 0.3% GR, a granule with manufacturer-stated broadcast application.
What is the paddy rate?6.67–10 kg/acre, with a 32-day PHI in the checked IFFCO table.
What is the wheat programme?Termites at 8 kg/acre, with a 91-day PHI in the branded guidance.
Why is the sugarcane PHI not a number?IFFCO Bazar says 9 months, while a 2025 government formulation compilation says 9 days. This material conflict needs the current Shinzen pack; neither number is silently chosen.
Does the paddy table clearly identify brown planthopper?It prints “Brown leaf hopper”. That ambiguous additional pest is held for exact label identification rather than silently renamed.
