General Information

Unipro SC is a broad-spectrum insecticide manufactured by UPL Limited in India. It is a suspension concentrate (SC) formulation containing the active ingredient fipronil 5% SC. Unipro SC is effective against a wide range of pests, including sucking pests such as aphids, whiteflies, and thrips, as well as chewing pests such as bollworms, fruit borers, and leaf caterpillars.

Mode of Action

Fipronil is a phenylpyrazole insecticide that works by disrupting the insect's nervous system. It inhibits the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) chloride channel, which is responsible for the flow of chloride ions into the nerve cell. This disrupts the nerve cell's ability to transmit signals, leading to paralysis and death.

Application

Unipro SC can be applied to crops using a variety of application methods, including foliar spraying, soil application, and seed treatment. The recommended dose varies depending on the target pest and the crop being treated.

Precautions

Unipro SC is a moderately toxic insecticide. It is important to follow all safety precautions when handling and applying this product. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, long sleeves, pants, and a respirator. Do not apply Unipro SC to crops in bloom, as this can harm bees and other beneficial insects.

Please always read and follow the instructions on the product label before using any pesticide.
