General Information:

Apache is a broad-spectrum insecticide that contains two active ingredients: fipronil (15%) and flonicamid (15%). It is effective against a wide range of insect pests in a variety of crops, including cotton, rice, and vegetables.

Mode of Action:

Fipronil is a phenylpyrazole insecticide that acts on the GABA chloride channels in the nervous system of insects. This disrupts nerve signaling and leads to paralysis and death.

Flonicamid is a neonicotinoid insecticide that acts on the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the nervous system of insects. This disrupts nerve signaling and leads to paralysis and death.

Application:

Apache can be applied as a foliar spray. The recommended dose and application method will vary depending on the crop to be protected and the insect pest to be controlled. For example, to control sucking pests in cotton, Apache can be applied as a foliar spray at a dose of 160 grams per hectare.

Precautions:

  • Apache is a selective insecticide, but it can harm some beneficial insects if applied incorrectly. It is important to read and follow the label directions carefully.
  • Apache is not rain fast. Therefore, it should not be applied if rain is expected within 4 hours of application.
  • Apache is toxic to fish and other aquatic organisms. Therefore, it should not be applied near water bodies.
