Fetagen Insecticide - Chlorantraniliprole 0.45% + Fipronil 0.5% + Emamectin Benzoate 0.18% GR for Tomato Whitefly & Fruit Borer Control

Fetagen is a next-generation granular insecticide from Best Agrolife Limited, specially developed for tomato farmers. It combines three proven active ingredients — Chlorantraniliprole 0.45%, Fipronil 0.5%, and Emamectin Benzoate 0.18% — in a single GR (granule) formulation. This unique ternary combination works as a Triple Action Shield, giving broad-spectrum and long-lasting protection against two major tomato pests: whitefly and fruit borer.

What makes Fetagen different is its triple mode of action. Each active ingredient attacks the pest's nervous system through a different pathway, causing rapid paralysis and death. Because the three actives work together, pests find it harder to develop resistance, and the product keeps working for a longer period — reducing the need for repeated applications. Fetagen is applied as a soil broadcast at the root zone, making it easy to use and effective right where the pests attack.

This product is a government-registered insecticide manufactured in India by Best Agrolife Limited. It is available in 4 kg and 1 kg packs. The recommended dose is 4 kg per acre, applied by broadcasting uniformly in the field. Fetagen is a practical, dependable choice for tomato growers looking for strong, long-lasting pest control with fewer sprays.

Key Benefits

• Triple action control: Three active ingredients work together to control both sucking pests (whitefly) and chewing pests (fruit borer) in tomato.
• Long-lasting protection: Extended residual activity reduces the need for repeated applications, saving time and labour.
• Rapid knockdown: Multiple pathways of action cause quick paralysis and death of target pests.
• Reduced resistance buildup: The combination of three different modes of action makes it harder for pests to develop resistance.
• Easy granular application: Simple soil broadcast application with deep root zone coverage — no spraying equipment needed.
• Better crop health and yield: Effective pest control helps protect tomato plants and supports healthier, more productive crops.

How It Works

Fetagen works by disrupting the nervous system of target pests through three different mechanisms at the same time. Chlorantraniliprole activates ryanodine receptors in the pest's muscle cells, causing an uncontrolled release of calcium. This leads to rapid muscle paralysis and stops the pest from feeding. Fipronil disrupts GABA-regulated chloride channels, which causes hyperexcitation of the nervous system and eventually death. Emamectin Benzoate increases the flow of chloride ions, which disrupts normal nerve impulses and further weakens the pest.

Because these three actives attack through different pathways, they work together in a synergistic way. The pest is hit from multiple angles at once, which gives fast knockdown and long-lasting suppression. The product combines contact, systemic, and stomach action, so it works whether the pest touches the granules, feeds on treated plant parts, or comes into contact through the soil. This triple-action approach is what makes Fetagen effective against both sucking pests like whitefly and chewing pests like fruit borer in tomato.

Technical Specifications

Recommended Dosage & Application

Apply Fetagen by broadcasting the granules uniformly in the field. For best results, apply at the root zone during early crop stages and maintain adequate soil moisture so the granules work effectively. Do not mix Fetagen with other granules during application.

When to Use

Fetagen is best applied during the early crop stages of tomato, when the plants are establishing and most vulnerable to pest attack. Apply the granules at the root zone where the active ingredients can be taken up and provide protection from within the plant. Maintain adequate soil moisture at the time of application for better effectiveness. Use Fetagen when whitefly or fruit borer pressure is expected or first noticed in the field, so the triple-action protection can keep pest populations under control before they cause serious damage to the crop.

Step by Step Usage Instructions

1. Measure the correct dose of 4 kg of Fetagen granules per acre of tomato crop.
2. Broadcast the granules uniformly across the field, focusing application at the root zone of the plants.
3. Apply during early crop stages for best protection against whitefly and fruit borer.
4. Ensure the soil has adequate moisture at the time of application to help the granules work effectively.
5. Do not mix Fetagen with other granules during application.
6. Wear protective gear such as gloves while handling the granules.
7. Store any unused product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, food, children, and animal feed.

Compatibility

Do not mix Fetagen with other granular products during application. Apply the granules separately as a soil broadcast for best results.
