Product Description
What is REMI GOLD Fipronil 18.87% SC?
REMI GOLD by Krishikranti is a broad-spectrum phenylpyrazole insecticide containing Fipronil 18.87% w/w SC (Suspension Concentrate). Fipronil is the gold-standard molecule for thrips control because it blocks GABA-regulated chloride channels in the insect's central nervous system, causing hyperactivity, paralysis, and death within 24–48 hours of exposure.
REMI GOLD works through three modes: contact, stomach (ingestion), and systemic, which is why it cleans up hidden thrips inside flower whorls and curled leaves where most foliar sprays fail to reach.
Benefits of REMI GOLD Fipronil 18.87% SC
- Fast knockdown of thrips visible mortality within 24–48 hours of spray
- Long residual activity controls pests for up to 14–21 days, reduces reapplication cost
- Effective at low dose only 1 ml per litre, lowest cost per acre in its class
- Resistance management tool works on thrips resistant to neonicotinoids, organophosphates, and pyrethroids. For caterpillar + thrips dual pressure, rotate with KRANTI (Emamectin Benzoate 1.5% + Fipronil 3.5% SC)
- TSV vector control reduces Tobacco Streak Virus spread in cotton by killing vector thrips
- Plant Growth Enhancement (PGE) pest-free plants show better vigour and flowering
- Tank-mix compatible with most insecticides and fungicides
- Soil-safe at recommended dose no harm to earthworms or beneficial microflora
Mode of Action
Fipronil binds to the GABA-gated chloride channel in the insect central nervous system (IRAC Group 2B). This blocks chloride ion flow, disrupts nerve impulse transmission, and causes paralysis and death. Because mammals have a different receptor structure, Fipronil shows high selectivity against insects with low non-target risk.
Target Pests Controlled by REMI GOLD
REMI GOLD is registered for thrips control on cotton under the CIB&RC label, where it is most effective. The Fipronil molecule is recognised by farmers for activity against:
- Thrips Scirtothrips dorsalis, Thrips tabaci, Frankliniella schultzei (primary use)
- Sucking pests including certain aphid populations — for combined sucking pest pressure (aphids, jassids, whitefly), see ORIGEN (Fipronil 4% + Thiamethoxam 4% SC)
- Soil-surface ants and termites in field margins — for soil-dwelling pests like white grubs and termites, use GOLD Fipronil 0.3% GR granular insecticide
Recommended Crops
- Cotton thrips control (registered label use)
- Chilli thrips management
- Onion onion thrips control
- Capsicum & Bell Pepper thrips
- Grapes thrips at flowering and berry-set
- Mango hopper and thrips at flowering
Note: Always follow the approved label on the product carton. Use on non-registered crops is at farmer discretion.

When & How to Spray REMI GOLD
- Spray at the first visible thrips damage silvery streaks, leaf curling, flower drop
- Apply in early morning or late evening avoids bee activity, improves uptake
- Ensure uniform coverage of underside of leaves and flower whorls thrips hide there
- Stop spraying 15 days before harvest
- Rotate with a different mode of action insecticide to prevent resistance — try BHAIRAV (Chlorantraniliprole 8.8% + Thiamethoxam 17.5% SC) or Diafenthiuron 47% + Bifenthrin 9.4% SC for the next spray cycle
Safety Precautions
- Wear gloves, mask, and full-sleeve clothing while spraying
- Do not eat, drink, or smoke during application
- Wash hands and exposed skin thoroughly after use
- Highly toxic to bees do not spray on blooming crops
- Toxic to fish and aquatic life keep away from ponds, canals, and water bodies
- Store in a cool, dry place away from children, food, and livestock
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1. What is Fipronil 18.87% SC used for?
Fipronil 18.87% SC is used to control thrips in cotton. It is also widely used by farmers for thrips management in chilli, onion, grapes, and capsicum.
Q2. What is the dose of Fipronil 18.87% SC per acre?
The recommended dose of Fipronil 18.87% SC is 150–200 ml per acre, mixed in 150–200 litres of water. For pump-based application, use 15–20 ml per 15-litre pump or 1 ml per litre of water.
Q3. Which pest does REMI GOLD Fipronil 18.87% SC control?
REMI GOLD primarily controls thrips, including Scirtothrips dorsalis, Thrips tabaci, and Frankliniella schultzei. It is also effective against some sucking pests. For mites + thrips combined attack, consider CLEARMITE for mites and thrips control.
Q4. How does Fipronil work on thrips?
Fipronil blocks GABA-gated chloride channels in the thrips' central nervous system, causing paralysis and death within 24–48 hours of contact or ingestion.
Q5. Can Fipronil 18.87% SC be tank-mixed with other products?
Yes, REMI GOLD is compatible with most insecticides and fungicides. Always perform a small jar compatibility test before full tank-mix.
Q6. Is Fipronil 18.87% SC safe for bees?
No. Fipronil is highly toxic to bees and aquatic life. Do not spray during flowering when pollinators are active. Spray in early morning or late evening to reduce exposure.
Q7. How many times can I spray REMI GOLD in one season?
A maximum of 2 sprays per season is recommended to prevent resistance development. Always rotate with insecticides of a different mode of action — such as F+IMIDA (Fipronil 40% + Imidacloprid 40% WG) for combined sucking pest pressure.
Q8. What is the difference between Fipronil 5% SC and Fipronil 18.87% SC?
Fipronil 5% SC is a lower-concentration formulation used at around 400 ml/acre, registered across rice, cabbage, and sugarcane — see KAVACH Fipronil 5% SC. Fipronil 18.87% SC (REMI GOLD) is a higher-concentration formulation that requires only 150–200 ml/acre and is registered for cotton thrips control.
Q9. Does Fipronil 18.87% SC control whitefly?
Fipronil 18.87% SC is not a primary whitefly product. For whitefly control in cotton, use specialised molecules — ABHIMANYU Diafenthiuron 47.8% SC, PYRIMOON Pyriproxyfen 10% EC, or KRINASH Flonicamid 50% WG.
Q10. What is the Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI) for Fipronil 18.87% SC?
Stop spraying at least 15 days before harvest.
