ALANTO (Thiacloprid 21.7% SC) INSECTICIDE

• Alanto Insecticide 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 that 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 21.7% SC
• Due to its relative stability to rain-water and sunlight, Alanto Insecticide remains on the leaf's surface after application for a considerable time, this allows 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.
• No cross-resistance to conventional insecticides, with fast degradation in the environment.
• Alanto Insecticide shows a low acute mammalian toxicity, due to relatively low rates of application, excellent plant compatibility and a favorable eco-toxicological profile.

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.
