0.7% Propoxur+Fipronil RJ

Uses
This fluorinated pyrazole insecticide is a broad-spectrum insecticide with high activity and a wide range of applications. It is highly sensitive to pests of the Hemiptera, Thysanoptera, Coleoptera, and Lepidoptera orders, as well as to pests resistant to pyrethroids and carbamates. It can be used in rice, cotton, vegetables, soybeans, rapeseed, tobacco, potatoes, tea, sorghum, corn, fruit trees, forestry, public health, and animal husbandry. It controls rice borers, brown planthoppers, rice weevils, cotton bollworms, armyworms, diamondback moths, cabbage loopers, cabbage armyworms, beetles, cutworms, bulb nematodes, caterpillars, fruit tree mosquitoes, wheat aphids, coccidia, and trichomonas. The recommended dosage is 12.5-150g/hm². Field trials on rice and vegetables have been approved in my country. Formulations include a 5% suspension concentrate and a 0.3% granular formulation.

Banned

my country banned the use of fipronil starting October 1, 2009. Although highly effective against rice stem borers and leaf rollers, fipronil is extremely environmentally unfriendly, impacting butterflies and dragonflies around crops. This is why the government has decided to ban it. It should only be used against household pests.

Usage
Fipronil has a broad insecticide spectrum, with contact, stomach, and moderate systemic effects. It controls both underground and aboveground pests. It can be used for foliage, soil, and seed treatments. A foliar spray of 25-50g of active ingredient/hectare is effective against potato beetles, diamondback moths, cabbage loopers, Mexican boll weevils, and flower thrips. In rice fields, 50-100g of active ingredient/hectare is effective against stem borers and brown planthoppers. A foliar spray of 6-15g of active ingredient/hectare is effective against locusts and desert locusts in grasslands. Applying 100-150g of active ingredient/hectare to the soil effectively controls corn root beetles, wireworms, and cutworms. Treating corn seeds with 250-650g of active ingredient/100kg of seed effectively controls wireworms and cutworms. This product primarily controls pests such as aphids, leafhoppers, lepidopteran larvae, flies, and coleoptera. It is recommended by many pesticide experts as a preferred alternative to highly toxic organophosphorus pesticides.
