Shinzen Plus (Fipronil 5% SC): The Ultimate Solution for Crop Protection & Yield Growth
Discover IFFCO-MC's advanced liquid insecticide designed to fight resistant pests and boost plant health.
Shinzen Plus is a powerful, modern insecticide formulation containing Fipronil 5% SC. Unlike older powder chemicals, this liquid Suspension Concentrate (SC) is safer to use and spreads evenly over crops. It is specifically engineered to target tough pests like Stem Borers, Thrips, and Aphids in crops such as Rice, Sugarcane, and Chilli.
The Shinzen Advantage: Beyond just killing pests, Shinzen Plus provides a "Phytotonic" effect. This means it acts like a growth booster, helping your plants grow greener leaves, stronger roots, and produce a higher yield.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ⏱️Rapid Action: Stops pest feeding almost immediately upon contact, preventing further crop damage.
- ?️Dual Protection: Works by both Contact (touch) and Stomach (ingestion) action to kill surface and hidden pests.
- ⏳Long-Lasting Control: Provides extended protection, reducing the need for frequent re-spraying.
- ?️Rainfastness: The SC formulation sticks well to leaves, making it resistant to wash-off by rain or irrigation.
- ?Phytotonic Effect: Promotes "Green Growth," leading to better root development and higher stress tolerance.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Shinzen Plus attacks the central nervous system of insects with a unique mechanism that works even on pests resistant to other chemicals.
- Blocks: It specifically binds to GABA receptors in the insect's nerve cells, blocking the flow of chloride ions.
- Overloads: Without this regulation, the insect's nerves begin to fire uncontrollably.
- Eliminates: This causes hyperexcitation, paralysis, and death of the pest. It works systemically, moving up the plant to protect new growth.
Note: It is safe for crops but highly effective against insects because it targets receptors specific to invertebrates.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Rice (Paddy) | Stem Borer, Leaf Folder, Brown Plant Hopper (BPH), Green Leaf Hopper (GLH) |
| Sugarcane | Early Shoot Borer, Root Borer, Termites |
| Chilli & Vegetables | Thrips, Aphids, Fruit Borers, Diamond Back Moth (DBM) |
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 | 400 - 600 ml | 200 L | 2 - 3 ml | 32 Days |
| Sugarcane (Foliar) | 600 - 800 ml | 200 L | 3 - 4 ml | 270 (Soil) / 30 (Spray) |
| Chilli / Cabbage | 320 - 400 ml | 200 L | 1.5 - 2 ml | 7 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 activity (e.g., leaf curling or "dead hearts"). For Rice, vegetative to early panicle stage is best.
- Mixing: Use the recommended water volume (200 Liters/acre) to ensure the chemical reaches the base of the plant where hoppers reside.
- Coverage: For Chilli and Cotton, ensure the underside of leaves is sprayed, as Thrips often hide there.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Do not spray near fish ponds or when bees are active.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does Shinzen Plus really improve crop growth?
Yes, it has a "Phytotonic" effect that reduces plant stress, resulting in greener leaves and better root systems, leading to higher yields.
2. Is it safe for Basmati Rice exports?
It is best used only in the early vegetative stage for Basmati. Avoid using it late in the season to meet strict export residue limits (MRLs).
3. Can I use it for Termites?
Yes, it is highly effective against termites, especially in Sugarcane when applied as a soil drench over setts.
4. Can I mix it with other chemicals?
It is compatible with most common fungicides (like Azoxystrobin) and NPK fertilizers. However, avoid mixing with highly alkaline substances like Bordeaux mixture.
5. What is the waiting period for Chilli?
The Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI) for Chilli is 7 days, allowing for safe harvest a week after spraying.
