Exylon Falcon is a broad-spectrum insecticide that contains Fipronil 80% WG, which is used to target sucking and chewing pests such as stem borers, thrips, diamondback moth, leaf folders, termites, and others. Fipronil 80% WG insecticide attacks the nervous system of insects by blocking GABA-regulated chloride channels, leading to their death. Fipronil 80% WG insecticide works through systemic and contact action and protects crops like grapes, onion, paddy, chilli, cabbage, and other crops. Exylon Falcon works quickly and lasts for a longer period, reducing further crop damage.

How to Use Exylon Falcon Insecticide:
Measure the required quantity of Fipronil 80% WG insecticide according to the crop.
Mix the measured product with a small amount of clean water.
Add the mixture to the spray tank and fill with the required amount of water.
