Product details
Lancer Gold Insecticide by UPL
Acephate 50% + Imidacloprid 1.8% w/w SP. A two-active insecticide with a fully specified cotton spray recommendation and additional manufacturer-listed crop targets.
What it controls: The listed cotton sucking pests and bollworms. Additional manufacturer-listed crops need their own confirmed directions.
When to use it: Begin when these insect pests appear, while allowing the 40-day harvest interval.
What to include: Use the measured cotton area rate, full water volume, suitable spray equipment and protective clothing.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- 🌿Cotton-focused use: The reviewed leaflet provides one clearly defined cotton recommendation.
- 🪲Sucking-pest coverage: Aphids, jassids, thrips and whiteflies are named cotton targets.
- 🐛Bollworm coverage: Bollworms are included with the listed sucking pests in the cotton recommendation.
- 🧬Two insecticidal mechanisms: Acephate and imidacloprid belong to different IRAC groups and act on different parts of nerve signalling.
- 💧Soluble powder formulation: The measured powder is mixed in water for application with the high-volume spraying equipment specified by the leaflet.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Lancer Gold combines acephate, a Group 1B organophosphate, with imidacloprid, a Group 4A neonicotinoid.
- Acephate inhibits an enzyme: The Group 1B component inhibits acetylcholinesterase, disrupting the normal termination of nerve signals.
- Imidacloprid acts at receptors: The Group 4A component competitively modulates nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the insect nervous system.
- Normal insect function is disrupted: The resulting disturbance of nerve signalling controls susceptible insects within the labelled cotton pest scope.
Use the mode-of-action group when planning resistance management. Changing brands without changing the active-ingredient group is not a rotation. Follow label limits and local integrated pest-management advice.
Target Crops & Pests
Cotton targets below have complete spray directions in the reviewed leaflet. Chilli, paddy and sugarcane targets are listed on UPL’s Indian website; their complete operational directions remain unconfirmed.
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Cotton |
|
| Chilli |
|
| Paddy |
|
| Sugarcane |

Do not apply on chilli, paddy or sugarcane using the cotton dose or harvest interval. Confirm each crop’s dose, water, route and PHI on the supplied pack first.
Dosage & Application Guide
Each row is a separate foliar-spray recommendation. Keep its product dose, water volume and harvest interval together.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (g / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (g / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cotton | Approx. 404.7 1000 g/ha |
Approx. 202.3 500 L/ha |
See note* | 40 |
Acre figures are approximate conversions of the hectare directions shown beneath them. Measure the treated area accurately.
*The leaflet gives area-based product and water quantities, not a separate per-litre rate. No per-litre or tank dose has been calculated. PHI is the minimum time between the last spray and harvest.
Chilli, paddy and sugarcane have no complete crop-specific product-dose, water-volume and PHI combination in the reviewed sources. Their recommendations are held; the cotton row must not be transferred to them.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- First application: Spray immediately after noticing the appearance of the listed insect pests in cotton.
- Repeat applications: The leaflet permits subsequent sprays at 7–10-day intervals depending on pest pressure. Observe the supplied-pack limits and the 40-day harvest interval.
- Spray mixture: Dilute the measured product in a small quantity of water and stir with a stick. Add the remaining recommended water and stir well again. Do not mix with bare hands.
- Equipment: Use high-volume equipment such as a knapsack or foot sprayer. The leaflet also allows a tractor-mounted sprayer.
- Bee precaution: Do not spray during the active bee-foraging period of the day.
- Harvest planning: Wait at least 40 days after the last spray before harvesting cotton.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which crop directions are fully specified here?Cotton has a complete leaflet spray recommendation. UPL’s website also lists chilli, paddy and sugarcane targets, but their complete dose, water, route and harvest directions must be confirmed before use.
What is the cotton dose?Use approximately 404.7 g product with 202.3 L water per acre, equivalent to the leaflet rate of 1000 g product with 500 L water per hectare.
How soon can I harvest after spraying?The leaflet specifies a 40-day interval between the last cotton spray and harvest.
When can a repeat spray be made?The leaflet describes subsequent applications at 7–10-day intervals depending on pest pressure. Follow the supplied-pack limits and do not compromise the harvest interval.
Can I use the retailer’s per-litre or tank dose?This guide retains the leaflet’s area-based product and water quantities. It does not calculate a separate per-litre or tank recommendation or endorse an unverified tank mixture.
