Alanto Insecticide

About Product

• Alanto Insecticide containing 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.
• Alanto, due to its rain-fastness property, is stable even under conditions of heavy rains and sunlight providing longer persistence.

Alanto Insecticide Technical Details

• Technical Content: Thiacloprid 21.7% SC
• Mode of Entry: Systemic with contact and stomach poison
• Mode of Action: Thiacloprid is antagonist to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor in the central nervous system. It disturbs the proper signal transmission system leading to excitation of nerve cells. Consequently, a disorder of the nervous system occurs leading finally to the death of the target pests.

Key Features & Benefits

• 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 a broad range of targeted pests, viz., aphids, whiteflies, thrips, and lepidopterans.
• Alanto Insecticide 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 shows a low acute mammalian toxicity, due to relatively low rates of application, excellent plant compatibility and a favorable eco-toxicological profile.
