OBERON

Technical content: Thiacloprid 240 SC (21.7% w/w)

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.

Insecticide Resistance Action Committee (IRAC) Classification No. 4A

ADVANTAGES :

• 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
• It acts as an acute contact and stomach poison, exhibits systemic activity added with translaminar activity and residual effect
• Alanto covers broad range of targeted pests, viz., aphids, whiteflies, weevils, thrips, Shoot and fruit borer, beetles, Jassids, Plant hoppers and Mosquito bugs.
• 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 favorable eco-toxicological profile.

Pests Controlled: Aphids, whiteflies, weevils, thrips, Shoot and fruit borer, beetles, Jassids, Plant hoppers and Mosquito bugs.

Dosage: 2 mL/L
