AGRIVENTURE FERN

About AGRIVENTURE FERN Insecticides

• AGRIVENTURE FERN is a fast-acting, contact-action carbamate insecticide.
• It is highly effective for the "knockdown" and control of sucking and chewing pests—particularly Brown Planthoppers (BPH) and Green Leafhoppers in rice, as well as thrips and aphids in cotton and various vegetables.

Technical Content of AGRIVENTURE FERN Insecticides

• Fenobucarb (BPMC) 50% EC

Mode of Action

• Enzyme Inhibition: It inhibits the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE) within the pest's nervous system.
• Nerve Disruption: By blocking this enzyme, the neurotransmitter acetylcholine builds up at the nerve synapses.
• Paralysis and Death: This causes continuous, uncontrolled nerve impulse transmissions, which result in rapid paralysis and the eventual death of the insect.
• 
   

Crop & Disease/Pest Mapping

• Mode of Action: Acts as an acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor, disrupting the insect's nervous system to paralyze and kill pests rapidly.
• Crop Target: Primarily used in paddy fields, but also highly effective for fruits (like mango) and vegetables.
• Rice (Paddy), Cotton, Vegetables, Fruit, Trees, Tea, Ornamentals
• Residual Effect: Provides a strong knockdown effect combined with moderate residual control.

Dosage per Acre

• 2ml-2.5ml/liter
   

Key Features & Benefits

• Mode of Action: Acts as an acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor, disrupting the insect's nervous system to paralyze and kill pests rapidly.
• Crop Target: Primarily used in paddy fields, but also highly effective for fruits (like mango) and vegetables.
• Residual Effect: Provides a strong knockdown effect combined with moderate residual control.

Additional Information

• Timing: Apply at the first sign of pest activity or during the early larval stage for maximum effectiveness.
• Application Window: Best sprayed during the early morning or late evening when temperatures are cool and wind is minimal.
• Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI): The waiting period between the last spray and harvest is generally 5 days for vegetables (like tomato and chilli) and 14–21 days for legumes and grains.
