POLICE by GHARDA CHEMICALS - Fipronil 40% + Imidacloprid 40% WG

Managing a diverse complex of both sucking and chewing pests is one of the most significant challenges in modern crop protection. Police Insecticide is a high-potency, dual-active solution designed to provide comprehensive control over persistent pests like termites, white grubs, and various hoppers. By combining two distinct chemical classes into a single Water Dispersible Granule (WG) formulation, it addresses infestations through multiple pathways, ensuring that crops such as sugarcane, groundnut, and cotton remain shielded during their most critical growth phases.

Technical Characteristics and Features

This insecticide is powered by a concentrated blend of Fipronil (40%) and Imidacloprid (40%). This combination delivers a synergistic effect that targets the central nervous system of pests upon contact or ingestion. Key features include:

• Dual Mode of Action: Provides both contact and systemic activity. While contact action ensures a rapid knockdown of existing pests, systemic absorption allows the active ingredients to move through the plant’s vascular system for ongoing protection.

• Broad-Spectrum Efficacy: Highly effective against a wide range of insects, including Aphids, Jassids, Thrips, Brown Plant Hoppers (BPH), and soil-borne threats like Termites and White Grubs.

• Long-Lasting Residual Control: The systemic nature of the formulation offers extended protection, reducing the need for frequent re-applications and contributing to better cost-efficiency.

• User-Friendly WG Formulation: The Water Dispersible Granule (WG) format is designed for easy mixing, providing a uniform suspension that ensures consistent application across the field.

• Environmental Compatibility: When used according to recommended guidelines, it has a balanced profile regarding beneficial insects and soil health.

Usage and Application Suitability

Police Insecticide is suitable for a wide array of field crops, fruits, and vegetables. Its versatility allows it to be used as either a foliar spray or a soil application depending on the target pest and crop type.

• Sugarcane: Applied at 175 to 200 g per acre to manage Termites and White Grubs.

• Paddy and Cotton: Recommended at 40 to 80 g per acre for controlling hoppers, whiteflies, and thrips.

• Groundnut: Used at 100 to 120 g per acre to target soil pests and aphids.

• Horticultural Crops: For mango, grapes, and citrus, a dosage of 40 to 60 g per acre is typically employed to manage hoppers, mealybugs, and leaf miners.

• General Foliar Dose: Standard dilution is approximately 0.2 to 0.6 g per liter of water, or 3 to 9 g per 15-liter spray pump.

Operational Reliability and Outcomes

The integration of Fipronil and Imidacloprid in this formulation provides growers with a reliable tool for resistance management. By attacking pests through different biological mechanisms, it helps prevent the development of localized insect resistance. For professional farmers and agribusinesses, the use of this insecticide leads to more stable crop stands, healthier root systems (in the case of soil applications), and higher-quality harvests. It represents a robust and convenient option for maintaining field hygiene across multiple cropping systems.
