EBS ORIGEN (Fipronil 4% + Thiomethoxam 4% SC)

Fipronil 4% + Thiamethoxam 4% SC (Suspension Concentrate) is a broad-spectrum systemic and contact insecticide designed to provide effective control of sucking and soil-dwelling insect pests in various crops. This dual-mode formulation combines two potent active ingredients for enhanced and long-lasting insect control.

• Fipronil (4%) – A phenylpyrazole insecticide that works through contact and ingestion, disrupting the central nervous system of pests.
• Thiamethoxam (4%) – A neonicotinoid insecticide that acts systemically, providing protection against pests feeding on plant sap.
• SC (Suspension Concentrate) Formulation – Ensures better adherence to plant surfaces, improved absorption, and prolonged residual effect.

Mode of Action: (Fipronil 4% + Thiomethoxam 4% SC)

This combination product provides dual-action control with systemic and contact properties, making it highly effective against sucking, soil, and foliar insect pests.

Fipronil (4%) – Contact and Ingestion Action

• Blocks GABA-gated chloride channels, causing hyperexcitation of the nervous system and paralysis of pests.
• Provides long-lasting residual control.

Thiamethoxam (4%) – Systemic and Contact Action

• Acts as an acetylcholine receptor agonist, disrupting nerve signaling in pests.
• Rapidly absorbed by plants, protecting against sap-feeding pests like aphids, jassids, and whiteflies.
• Moves within the plant, ensuring full-plant protection.

Combined Benefits

• Fast knockdown effect from Fipronil.
• Extended residual activity from Thiamethoxam.
• Effective at lower doses, reducing environmental impact.
