Best Use Of REGENT SC (Fipronil 5% SC)

• There is target site specificity between insects and mammals, with Fipronil displaying tighter binding (i.e., higher potency) in the insect GABA chloride channel than in mammals, providing useful selective toxicity. This sets Fipronil apart from most commercial insecticides
• Fipronil has both contact and ingestion activity, but is particularly effective by way of ingestion. The rapid knockdown effect associated with some insecticides is absent in Fipronil, and insect mortality may appear to be moderately slow. However, intermediate responses, such as cessation of feeding, may be noted soon after treatment. Residual control following foliar application is, in general, good to excellent

• Regent 5 SC spray is an ideal choice for IPM
• Regent 5 SC spray has shown a demonstrable Plant Growth Enhancement (PGE) effect in many crops

PLANT GROWTH ENHANCEMENT

Fipronil aids in increasing the yield of crops by controlling pests that reduce crop growth. It is observed that in the absence of injurious pests, Fipronil can improve the vigor and yields of crops and therefore also the quality.

In rice, corn, and sugarcane, field observations indicated the following effects:

• More developed root system, increased numbers of tillers, and more productive tillers
• Greener plants, an increase in leaf area, and plant height
• Earlier flowering and maturity of grain lead to a significant increase in yields

Fipronil formulations have been designed to be compatible with a wide range of insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, and liquid fertilizers. Perform a simple jar test beforehand if there is any question regarding the compatibility of these formulations with another tank mix partner.
