General Information:

Lano is a broad-spectrum insecticide that contains the active ingredient pyriproxyfen. It is effective against a wide range of insect pests in a variety of crops, including cotton, paddy, vegetables, and fruits. Lano is an insect growth regulator (IGR) insecticide that disrupts the growth and development of insects.

Active Ingredient:

Pyriproxyfen 10% EC

Mode of Action:

Lano acts by disrupting the growth and development of insects. It does this by mimicking the juvenile hormone (JH) of insects. JH is a hormone that is essential for insect growth and metamorphosis. By mimicking JH, Lano prevents insects from completing their metamorphosis, which leads to their death.

Application:

Lano can be applied as a foliar spray or soil drench. The recommended dose and application method will vary depending on the crop and the target pest. For example, to control whiteflies in cotton, Lano can be applied as a foliar spray at a dose of 0.5-1.0 liters per hectare.

Precautions:

Lano is a selective insecticide, but it can injure some crops if applied incorrectly. It is important to read and follow the label directions carefully.

Lano is not rain fast. Therefore, it should not be applied if rain is expected within 4 hours of application.

Lano is toxic to fish and other aquatic organisms. Therefore, it should not be applied near water bodies.

Additional Information:

Lano is a popular insecticide among farmers in India because it is effective against a wide range of insect pests, including some difficult-to-control pests such as whiteflies in cotton and thrips in vegetables. It is also relatively safe for crops and has a moderate residual activity in the soil, which helps to protect crops from insect pests for a longer period of time.
