Alanto
Technical Name – Thiacloprid 240 SC (21.7% w/w)
Description –
Thiacloprid is a member of the chemical class of neonicotinoid insecticides. It is an effective tool for the control of a broad spectrum of pests which are otherwise difficult to control. Thiacloprid, due to its rain-fastness property, is stable even under conditions of heavy rains and sunlight providing longer persistence.
MODE OF ACTION – Thiacloprid is antagonist to the nicotinic acetyl choline receptor in the central nervous system. It disturbs the proper signal transmission system leading to excitation of nerve cell. Consequently a disorder of the nervous system occurs leading finally to the death of the treated insect.
Features –
- Due to its relative stability to rain-water and sunlight, Alanto remains on the leaf’s surface after application for a considerable time, thus allowing a continuous penetration of the active ingredient into the leaf
- Alanto covers broad range of targeted pests, viz., aphids, whiteflies, thrips, and lepidopterans
- No cross resistance to conventional insecticides, with fast degradation in the environment
- Alanto shows a low acute mammalian toxicity, due to relatively low rates of application, excellent plant compatibility and a favourable eco-toxicological profile
