Dual-Action Protection Against Caterpillars and Sucking Insect Pests
AGRIVENTURE FIPRO MECTIN is a broad-spectrum combination insecticide containing Emamectin Benzoate 1.5% + Fipronil 3.5% SC. It is formulated to control both chewing pests and sucking insects through contact, stomach and translaminar activity.
The combination rapidly stops caterpillar feeding while controlling pests such as bollworms, fruit borers, thrips, aphids, jassids and whiteflies. Its Suspension Concentrate formulation mixes easily with water and provides uniform crop coverage.

How AGRIVENTURE FIPRO MECTIN Works
Emamectin Benzoate primarily targets caterpillars and borers. It acts on chloride channels in insect nerve and muscle cells, resulting in rapid feeding cessation, paralysis and death.
Fipronil blocks GABA-regulated chloride channels in the insect nervous system. This causes uncontrolled nerve excitation, paralysis and mortality in sucking and chewing pests.
The two active ingredients work through different neurological pathways, providing broad-spectrum control and supporting insecticide resistance-management programmes.
