Aashirwad SC Insecticide: Ultimate Protection Against Stem Borers & Thrips (Fipronil 5% SC)
Stop pests instantly and boost your crop's greenery with HPM's trusted broad-spectrum solution.
Aashirwad SC (Fipronil 5% SC) is a high-performance insecticide designed to protect your crops from tough pests like Stem Borers, Leaf Folders, and Thrips. Unlike older chemicals, it works in two ways: it kills pests on contact and enters the plant system to kill hiding insects. Beyond just pest control, Aashirwad SC provides a unique "Phytotonic Effect," helping your crops grow greener, healthier, and stronger roots.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Aashirwad SC targets the central nervous system of insects with precision. It is highly effective against pests that have developed resistance to other chemical groups.
- Transmission Blockage: The active ingredient, Fipronil, binds to the GABA receptors in the insect's nerve cells.
- System Overload: It blocks the entry of chloride ions ($Cl^-$), which normally keep the insect calm. This causes the insect's nerves to become hyperexcited.
- Pest Mortality: The pest immediately stops feeding due to paralysis and dies shortly after from nervous system failure.
Note: It acts systematically (moves upward in the plant) to kill hidden borers and by contact for surface pests.
Target Crops & Pests

Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rice (Paddy) | 400 - 600 ml | 200 Litres | 2.0 - 3.0 ml | 32 Days |
| Cotton | 600 - 800 ml | 200 Litres | 3.0 - 4.0 ml | 06 Days |
| Chilli / Cabbage | 320 - 400 ml | 200 Litres | 1.6 - 2.0 ml | 07 Days |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply at the first sign of pest infestation. For Rice, it can be used during vegetative stages to prevent "Dead Heart". Avoid spraying during peak flowering times to protect bees.
- Mixing: Shake the bottle well before use. Mix the required quantity in a small amount of water first, then add the remaining water.
- Coverage: Ensure thorough coverage of the foliage, especially the undersides of leaves where pests like Thrips and Aphids hide.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Do not use near fish ponds or water bodies.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does Aashirwad SC help in plant growth?
Yes, apart from killing pests, it has a "phytotonic effect" which makes plants greener, taller, and improves root development.
2. Is Aashirwad SC effective against Stem Borer in Rice?
Absolutely. It is a leading solution for Yellow Stem Borer, controlling it systemically inside the plant stem to prevent "Dead Hearts" and "White Ears".
3. Can I use this product during the flowering stage?
It is recommended to avoid spraying during active bee foraging times (mid-day flowering) as Fipronil is toxic to honeybees. Spray in the late evening if necessary.
4. Is it compatible with fungicides?
Yes, Aashirwad SC is generally compatible with common fungicides (like for Chilli die-back), but a physical compatibility test (jar test) is always recommended before mixing.
5. What is the difference between Aashirwad SC and Aashirwad GR?
Aashirwad SC is a liquid spray for foliage (leaves), while Aashirwad GR is granules meant for soil application to control root pests and early stem borers.
