How It Works

Uttam Stembo contains Fipronil, a broad-spectrum insecticide that belongs to the phenylpyrazole chemical group. Fipronil works by disrupting the normal functioning of the insect nervous system. It blocks the passage of chloride ions through GABA-gated chloride channels in the insect's nerve cells. This blockage causes over-excitation of the nervous system, leading to uncontrolled nerve impulses, paralysis, and eventually death of the pest.

Because Fipronil acts on the nervous system, it is effective against a wide range of insects that come into contact with or ingest the granules. When applied to the soil, the granules release the active ingredient gradually, creating a protective zone around the root system. Pests that move through the treated soil, feed on roots, or come into contact with the granules absorb the insecticide and are affected quickly. This makes the product particularly effective against soil-dwelling pests that are otherwise difficult to control with foliar sprays.

The granular formulation ensures that the active ingredient stays in the soil where it is needed most, providing longer-lasting protection compared to some liquid formulations that may wash away or break down quickly. This mode of action makes Uttam Stembo a practical choice for protecting crops from early-season soil pest damage, helping establish a healthy crop stand.

Technical Specifications

Recommended Dosage & Application

Uttam Stembo is applied as soil granules. The exact dosage depends on the crop, pest pressure, and field conditions. Farmers should follow the dosage recommendation printed on the product pack for their specific crop. As a general practice, granules are applied evenly in the field and incorporated into the soil or applied in the root zone where soil pests are active.

• Apply granules evenly across the field or in the planting rows depending on the crop and pest situation
• Incorporate the granules into the soil lightly to ensure they reach the root zone where pests are active
• Use the 1 kg packet for smaller holdings and the 5 kg packet for larger areas
• Always follow the recommended dosage on the pack and do not exceed the prescribed amount

When to Use

Uttam Stembo is most effective when applied at the right crop stage and pest pressure level. Since it targets soil-dwelling pests, application timing should match the period when these pests are most active in the soil and root zone.

• Apply at the time of sowing or transplanting to protect young plants from early-season soil pest attack
• Use when termites, rootworms, mole crickets, or other soil pests are first noticed in the field
• Apply before pest populations build up to damaging levels for best results
• In crops prone to termite or rootworm damage, preventive application at planting gives better protection than waiting for visible damage
