Lesenta is a broad-spectrum insecticide that combines two powerful active ingredients, Imidacloprid and Fipronil, to offer dual action and long-lasting control against a wide range of pests.1
Key Features and Benefits:
Dual mode of action: Combines the systemic action of Imidacloprid with the contact and ingestion activity of Fipronil for comprehensive pest control.2
Broad-spectrum activity: Effective against a wide range of sucking and chewing pests, including white grubs, jassids, thrips, aphids, whiteflies, and termites.3
Fast action and long-lasting control: Provides rapid knockdown of pests and extended residual activity.4
Systemic and contact activity: Offers both internal and external protection to the plant.5
Enhanced plant growth: Promotes better root growth and overall plant health.6
Improved yield: Helps achieve higher yields by effectively controlling damaging pests.7
Mode of Action:
Imidacloprid: A neonicotinoid that disrupts the nervous system of insects, causing paralysis and death.8 It is absorbed by the plant and translocated throughout the tissues, providing systemic protection.9
Fipronil: A phenylpyrazole that blocks GABA-gated chloride channels in the insect nervous system, leading to uncontrolled nerve activity and death.10 It acts primarily through ingestion and contact.
