Fipronil 5% SC is a broad-spectrum phenylpyrazole insecticide formulated as a suspension concentrate. It acts primarily through ingestion and contact, targeting GABA-regulated chloride channels in the insect nervous system. It is widely used for controlling stem borers, termites, and root-feeding pests in crops like rice, sugarcane, and vegetables. Its systemic movement and residual effect make it a preferred choice for soil and foliar pest management.
