FAQ for RATNANIL
How is RATNANIL applied?
RATNANIL granules are broadcast into the soil or incorporated at planting for root borer and termite control, or applied in flooded rice paddy fields for soil and foliar pest management.
Which crops is RATNANIL recommended for?
RATNANIL is recommended for sugarcane (root borer, shoot borer, termite), wheat (termite), and rice (stem borer, BPH, WBPH, GLH, leaf folder, gall midge, whorl maggot) protection.
How does Fipronil work?
Fipronil blocks GABA-gated chloride channels and glutamate-gated chloride channels in insect nervous systems, disrupting normal nerve inhibition causing hyperexcitation, seizures, paralysis, and death.
Does RATNANIL provide season-long protection?
Yes, the granular formulation allows Fipronil to be taken up by plant roots and translocated systemically, providing extended season-long protection against both soil pests and foliar insects.
What are the advantages of granular Fipronil in RATNANIL?
Granular formulation enables easy broadcast application, precise root zone placement, reduced dermal exposure versus liquid sprays, sustained slow release, and prolonged systemic efficacy.
