1. Introduction to Regent GR 1000

Regent® GR 1000 is a granular insecticide developed by BASF that has become a trusted name among farmers worldwide. Known for its powerful efficacy and long-lasting protection, it plays a crucial role in integrated pest management (IPM) systems. Designed specifically to target soil and early-stage insect pests, Regent® GR 1000 ensures robust crop establishment and maximized yield potential.

2. What Makes Regent GR 1000 Unique?

Regent GR 1000 stands out due to its:

  • Granular formulation for easy soil application

  • High performance in controlling root and stem pests

  • Extended residual action for season-long protection

  • Compatibility with other pest management practices

It’s an ideal choice for crops requiring strong early-stage protection.

3. Active Ingredient and Its Role

The active ingredient in Regent GR 1000 is Fipronil, a phenylpyrazole insecticide known for its wide spectrum of activity. At a concentration of 0.3% in the granular formulation, Fipronil disrupts the insect’s central nervous system, resulting in effective and fast pest control.

Chemical Profile of Fipronil

 

Parameter Detail
Chemical Name 5-amino-1-[2,6-dichloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-4-[(1,R,S)-(trifluoromethyl)sulfinyl]-1H-pyrazole-3-carbonitrile
Mode of Action GABA-gated chloride channel blocker
Chemical Group Phenylpyrazole
Systemicity Non-systemic, contact and ingestion action
Residual Effect 15–30 days (depending on soil type and climate)

4. Mode of Action

Primarily acts as an ingestion toxicant with some complimentary contact action and acts by interfering in nerve impulse transmission. It interferes with the passage of chloride ions through the Gamma Amino Butyric Acid (GABA) regulated chloride channel, thereby disrupting CNS activity and at sufficient doses, causing insect death.

Fipronil in Regent GR 1000 acts by blocking the GABA-regulated chloride channels in the nervous system of insects. This causes hyperexcitation, paralysis, and eventually death of the pest. Its unique action ensures that insects resistant to other classes like organophosphates or pyrethroids are effectively controlled.

Insecticide Resistance Action Committee (IRAC) Classification No. 2 B

5. FEATURES

  • A major strength of the molecule is its applications and formulation flexibility. The granular formulation can be easily broadcasted on the standing crop.
  • Fipronil has both contact and ingestion activity, but is particularly effective by way of ingestion. An intermediate response, such as cessation of feeding, may be noted soon after treatment.
  • The site of action of Fipronil sets it apart from most commercial insecticides. a new generation insecticide belonging to new family of Phenyl Pyrazole.
  • Regent is an ideal choice for IPM.
  • Regent application has shown demonstrable Plant Growth Enhancement (PGE) effect in many crops.

6. Target Pests Controlled by Regent GR 1000

Regent GR 1000 is particularly effective against a broad range of soil and early foliar pests:

  • Rice: Rice root weevil, stem borer, leaf folder

  • Sugarcane: Early shoot borer, root borer

  • Vegetables: Root maggots, cutworms

  • Maize: Shoot fly, stem borers

While Regent 0.3 GR can be used at any stage of the crop, in order to derive the maximum benefits it should be used earliest possible when the pest is at the early instar stage.

 

Crop Target Pests
Rice Stem borers, Brown Plant Hopper Leaf Folder, Whorl Maggot, Green Leaf Hopper, White Backed Plant Hopper,Gall midge
Sugarcane Early shoot borer, Top borer, Root Borer
Maize Stem borers, Shoot fly
Vegetables Cutworms, Root maggots

7. Recommended Crops for Use

Regent GR 1000 is versatile and compatible with a wide variety of crops:

  • Cereals (Rice, Maize)

  • Sugarcane

  • Vegetables (Cabbage, Cauliflower, Tomato)

  • Pulses and Oilseeds

Its granular form ensures excellent soil coverage and minimizes loss during application.

8. Application Methods and Dosage

Proper application ensures optimal pest control and crop protection:

  • Method: Broadcast at sowing or transplanting

  • Dosage:

    • Rice: 10 kg/ha

    • Sugarcane: 15 kg/ha

    • Maize: 10–12 kg/ha

Application Tips

  • Apply on moist soil for best results

  • Irrigate immediately after application for proper activation

  • Use a mechanical spreader for even distribution

9. Benefits of Using Regent GR 1000

1. Early Pest Protection

  • Safeguards crops during the most vulnerable stages

2. Yield Enhancement

  • Healthier roots lead to better nutrient uptake and higher yields

3. Resistance Management

  • Works effectively on pests resistant to traditional insecticides

4. Economic Returns

  • Reduced pest pressure leads to fewer follow-up applications and cost savings

5. Farmer-Friendly

  • Easy to apply with minimal protective gear

10. Safety and Handling Guidelines

Although relatively safe when used properly, always follow safety protocols:

  • Store in a cool, dry place

  • Wear gloves and a face mask during application

  • Do not apply in windy conditions

  • Avoid contamination of water bodies

Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI): Varies by crop, generally 30 days

11. Environmental Impact and Sustainability

Regent® GR 1000 is designed with environmental sustainability in mind. It:

  • Does not leach easily in soil

  • Has minimal impact on non-target organisms when used as directed

  • Is compatible with IPM and ICM practices

Its selective nature makes it a safer alternative in many cropping systems.

12. Comparison with Other Insecticides

 

Feature Regent® GR 1000 Chlorpyrifos Carbofuran
Formulation Type Granule EC (Emulsifiable) Granule
Residual Activity High (~30 days) Moderate (~7–10d) Low (~5–7d)
Resistance Management Excellent Moderate Poor
Environmental Impact Low High Very High

Regent® GR 1000 offers a safer and more effective option in most cases

13. Conclusion

Regent® GR 1000 is a game-changer in the realm of crop protection. With its powerful Fipronil-based formula, long residual effect, and user-friendly application, it continues to empower farmers to grow healthier, high-yielding crops. By incorporating it into your pest management strategy, you’re not only protecting your crops—you’re investing in the future of sustainable agriculture.
