Description

TICKNIL is a Suspension Concentrate (SC) formulation of Fipronil 5%, a phenylpyrazole-based insecticide known for its excellent efficacy against soil and foliar insect pests. It acts on the insect’s nervous system by blocking GABA-gated chloride channels, resulting in paralysis and death.

TICKNIL provides strong control over pests such as termites, root grubs, stem borers, and white grubs, making it ideal for use in crops like rice, sugarcane, maize, and groundnut. Its residual action ensures continued protection even after application, supporting healthy crop growth.
