General Information:

• Trade name: Alanto
• Active ingredient: Thiacloprid
• Insecticide class: Neonicotinoid insecticide

Mode of Action:

Alanto is a systemic insecticide that works by interfering with the transmission of nerve impulses in insects. It is absorbed by the plant and translocated to all parts of the plant, including the roots, stems, leaves, and flowers. When insects feed on the plant, they ingest the Alanto and are paralyzed and killed.

Application:

Alanto can be applied to a variety of crops, including cotton, soybeans, corn, potatoes, and vegetables. It can be applied to the soil, as a foliar spray, or as a seed treatment.

Precautions:

• Alanto is toxic to bees and other beneficial insects. Do not apply Alanto to blooming crops.
• Alanto is also toxic to fish and other aquatic life. Do not apply Alanto to areas where it may run off into water bodies.
• Alanto is a residual insecticide, so it can persist in the soil for several weeks. Do not plant crops that are sensitive to Alanto within 3 to 6 weeks of application.

Always follow the label directions carefully when using Alanto insecticide to ensure safe and effective use.

Additional Information:

• Alanto is a broad-spectrum insecticide, which means that it is effective against a wide range of insect pests, including aphids, thrips, whiteflies, and beetles.
• Alanto is a systemic insecticide, which means that it is absorbed by the plant and translocated to all parts of the plant. This makes it very effective at controlling insects, even if they are only partially exposed to the insecticide.
