Technical Specifications

How It Works: Mode of Action

Agloro acts on the insect’s nervous system. Its contact and stomach action describe how the insect is exposed; they do not make every crop, pest or application method suitable.

1. Contact exposure: The insecticide acts when a susceptible insect comes into contact with it.
   
2. Stomach exposure: Ingestion of treated material provides another route of action against susceptible insects.
   
3. Nerve action: Chlorpyriphos inhibits acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme involved in normal nerve signalling. IRAC classifies it in Group 1B.
   

Changing the brand name alone does not change the mode-of-action group. Plan rotations with effective products from different main IRAC groups and suitable non-chemical measures with a qualified crop adviser. Do not assume a fixed control period or guaranteed prevention of pest return.

Target Crops & Pests

The following crop-target pairs appear in the Agloro leaflet. This is an identification guide, not a complete treatment schedule. Match the exact crop and pest to the current pack before use.

Restricted crops: Chlorpyriphos must not be used on ber, citrus or tobacco in India. A crop appearing on an older advertisement does not override this restriction.

Dosage & Application Guide

Choose the treatment from the current pack’s crop-specific directions, not from the bottle size or a general chlorpyriphos recipe. Match the product quantity, water volume, application method and timing as one set of instructions.

Application Requirements

Product and water quantities: The 250 ml pack is not a fixed one-acre or one-pump dose. Do not turn an area-based rate into a per-litre recipe without the matching labelled water volume and calibrated treatment area.

Harvest and re-entry: PHI is the waiting time between the final treatment and harvest. Re-entry is the separate waiting time before people return to the treated area. Confirm both for the intended use before treatment; do not assume immediate harvest or unrestricted entry.

Timing and repeats: Use only the timing, repeat interval and maximum application count applicable to the exact treatment. If any direction is unclear, ask AgroStar or a qualified crop adviser before mixing or applying.

How to Apply: Best Practices

• Check the identity: Match Agloro and chlorpyriphos 20% EC on the container. Read the current pack label and leaflet, including crop restrictions, before opening it.
  
• Keep the treatment specific: Use the directions for the exact crop and target. Do not transfer a foliar-spray method to seed, soil or building treatments.
  
• Prepare the equipment: Use the equipment specified for the intended treatment. The leaflet lists knapsack, foot, compression-knapsack, compression-knapsack battery and ASPEE-HTP power sprayers; this list is not a treatment recipe.
  
• Protect yourself: Wear the label-specified protective equipment. Avoid breathing spray or getting product on skin or in eyes. Do not spray against the wind.
  
• Protect bees, birds and water: Do not spray during bee foraging or use near bird habitat, water bodies, aquaculture or pisciculture. Prevent spray and washings from contaminating water.
  
• Check any mixture: Add a sticker, fertiliser or another pesticide only when the exact mixture is supported by the current labels and qualified crop-specific advice. A jar test does not establish crop safety or approval.
  
• Respect safety intervals: Follow the crop-specific harvest and re-entry requirements and all repeat-treatment limits. Keep children, animals and unprotected people away.
