Heralaud is a selective insecticide containing 25% Buprofezin, an insect growth regulator (IGR) that effectively controls sucking pests, particularly whiteflies, aphids, jassids, and thrips. It is available in a suspension concentrate (SC) formulation and can be applied using various methods, including foliar spraying and soil drenching. Heralaud is primarily used for agricultural pest control.

Mode of Action:

Heralaud acts as an insect growth regulator (IGR), disrupting the molting process of insects. It inhibits chitin synthesis, a crucial component of the insect exoskeleton. This inhibition prevents proper molting, leading to the death of immature insect stages, effectively controlling pest populations.

Application:

Heralaud can be applied using various methods, including foliar spraying and soil drenching. Foliar spraying involves applying the insecticide directly to the leaves and stems of the plants, providing protection against foliar pests. Soil drenching involves applying the insecticide to the soil around the plant's base, allowing the roots to absorb it and protect against soil-borne pests.

Target Pests:

Heralaud effectively controls a range of sucking pests, including:

• Whiteflies: Tiny insects that feed on plant sap, causing damage and transmitting plant viruses

• Aphids: Small, soft-bodied insects that feed on plant sap, causing damage and transmitting plant viruses

• Jassids: Leafhoppers that feed on plant sap, causing stippling and weakening of plants

• Thrips: Tiny insects that feed on plant tissues, causing stippling, distortion, and discoloration of leaves and flowers

Precautions:

While Heralaud is considered relatively safe when used according to label directions, it is essential to take precautions during handling and application.

• Wear protective clothing, including gloves, goggles, and a mask, when handling or applying Heralaud.

• Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing.

• Do not eat, drink, or smoke while handling or applying Heralaud.

• Wash hands thoroughly after handling or applying Heralaud.

• Store Heralaud in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from food, feed, and children's reach.

• Dispose of empty containers safely and responsibly.

• Heralaud is moderately toxic to fish and aquatic organisms. Avoid contamination of water bodies.
