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. 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. 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 Crops: Cotton, Chilli, Rice, Apple, Tea, Brinjal, Soyabean Target Pests: Aphids, Jassids,Thrips, White Fly, Stem Borer, Mosquito Bug, Shoot and Fruit Borer, Girdle Beetle Dose: 2 ml/liter Pack sizes: 100 ml, 250 ml, 500 ml, 1 L The information provided here is for reference only.
