Alanto Bayer is a special insecticide to help farmers deal with pests that harm plants by sucking or chewing. It’s a great monsoon crop protection product, particularly effective for challenging pests in vegetables like brinjal and tea. The best part is, it‘s safe for both the crops and the people using it. Alanto has shown it can improve the growth of flowers and fruits in horticulture crops.
Thiacloprid is an insecticide type in the neonicotinoid class of chemicals. It’s a powerful tool for managing a wide range of pests that are usually hard to control.
What makes thiacloprid stand out is its ability to stay effective even during heavy rains and sunlight, thanks to its rain-fastness property. This means it stays stable and lasts longer, providing extended protection for crops.
Thiacloprid works against insects by disrupting their central nervous system. It acts like an opponent to a specific receptor in their nerves, causing a disturbance in the usual way signals are transmitted.
This leads to the overexcitement of nerve cells and ultimately results in a disorder in the insect’s nervous system, leading to its death.

Among the uses of Alanto is that it stays on leaves for a long time, thanks to its stability in rain and sunlight. This allows the active ingredient to continuously enter the leaf.

Alanto doesn't share resistance with common insecticides, degrades quickly in the environment, and is safe for mammals due to low toxicity, low application rates, and eco-friendly characteristics.
