Alanto - Thiacloprid 21.7% SC - Bayer

Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits

• 🎯  Specific sucking and chewing pest uses: An option for the listed sap-feeding pests and borers when the supplied current pack permits the exact crop and target.
  
• 🍃  Movement through treated leaves: Translaminar activity means movement through leaf tissue. Correct treatment placement is still necessary; hidden-pest control is not guaranteed.
  
• 🌿  Systemic activity: Thiacloprid can enter plant tissue and act within the plant. This does not permit an unlisted soil, seed or irrigation treatment.
  
• 🐛  Contact and feeding activity: Susceptible pests can encounter treatment by contact or feeding. Follow the exact crop’s permitted method and coverage requirements.
  

Technical Specifications

How It Works: Mode of Action

1. Exposes susceptible pests: Contact and feeding can expose insects to thiacloprid, while systemic and translaminar movement allow it to enter plant and treated leaf tissue.
   
2. Changes nerve signalling: Thiacloprid binds at the acetylcholine site of nicotinic receptors involved in carrying nerve messages in insects.
   
3. Disrupts normal activity: Disturbed nerve signals can cause over-excitation, sluggishness and paralysis, leading to control of susceptible insects.
   

These are connected processes of one mode of action, not three separate modes. Thiacloprid, imidacloprid and thiamethoxam share IRAC Group 4A; switching between their brands is not a different-group rotation. Use monitoring and integrated pest management, avoid repeated reliance on the same mode and obtain qualified local advice. No fixed speed of kill, protection period or rainfast interval is promised.

Target Crops & Pests

Use each pair below only when included on the supplied current Indian Alanto pack. Confirm the full crop- and pest-specific application directions before treatment.

Cotton whitefly requires its own directions rather than a generic cotton sucking-pest rate. Apple directions use a concentration and tree-size water basis; do not convert them into a universal millilitre-per-acre amount or extend apple thrips to other orchard pests.

Dosage & Application Guide

Resolve the complete crop and pest directions before application

Obtain the matching product amount, water volume, application method, first-treatment crop and pest conditions, harvest interval and restrictions from the supplied current Indian Alanto pack. No complete application programme is given here.

Measure the formulated SC product with the unit specified on the pack, not the amount of pure active ingredient. Follow the mixing and agitation instructions. Do not copy a generic cotton range across pests or infer a dose from a 100 ml, 250 ml, 500 ml or 1 L bottle.

For apple, the concentration, tree-size water requirement and complete application directions must be resolved together. A tank’s capacity does not establish orchard area or canopy coverage. No universal per-litre or tank recipe is provided.

Missing water or harvest information does not mean that no water or restriction applies, or that immediate harvest is allowed. The pre-harvest interval runs from the final application to harvest; repeat-treatment and worker re-entry intervals are separate. No fixed repeat, re-entry or rainfast interval is implied.

How to Apply: Best Practices

• Confirm the exact product and target: Match Bayer Alanto and Thiacloprid 21.7% SC, together with the crop and pest. Do not substitute another concentration, formulation or overseas label; distinguish cotton whitefly from aphids, thrips and jassids.
  
• Check bees and treatment need: Scout the crop and follow the pack’s first-treatment conditions. Do not apply during active bee foraging, and observe further flowering restrictions. Do not invent an infestation threshold or calendar spray.
  
• Prepare and measure carefully: Follow the current pack’s product measurement, mixing sequence, water and agitation instructions. Use the formulated product amount, not grams of pure active ingredient.
  
• Use the permitted method: For permitted spray use, calibrate the equipment and follow the required nozzle, water and coverage directions. Systemic or translaminar activity does not authorize another route. Prevent drift, including onto nearby flowering plants, and follow wind and weather precautions.
  
• Check mixture permission: Do not add another pesticide, fertiliser or adjuvant unless both current labels permit the exact crop, method and proposed combination. A jar test alone cannot establish crop safety or label permission.
  
• Keep treatment records: Record crop, field, target pest, application date, treated area and product quantity. Match harvest planning, worker entry and any further treatment to their separate pack restrictions.
