Lara 909 is a broad-spectrum insecticide that combines two different modes of action for enhanced pest control. It's manufactured by Crystal Crop Protection Limited and contains Chlorpyrifos 50% + Cypermethrin 5% EC as its active ingredients. This combination targets both sucking and chewing pests in a variety of crops, particularly cotton.
Mode of Action:
Chlorpyrifos: An organophosphate insecticide that disrupts the nervous system of insects by inhibiting the enzyme acetylcholinesterase. This leads to an accumulation of acetylcholine, causing overstimulation of the nervous system, paralysis, and ultimately death of the insect. It has both contact and stomach action.
Cypermethrin: A synthetic pyrethroid insecticide that also disrupts the nervous system of insects by affecting the sodium channels. This leads to uncontrolled nerve impulses, paralysis, and death. It primarily acts through contact and has a rapid knockdown effect.
This dual action provides a broader spectrum of control and helps to manage resistance development in pest populations.
Key Features and Benefits:
Broad-spectrum control: Effective against a wide range of sucking and chewing pests, including aphids, jassids, whiteflies, thrips, bollworms, and others.
Dual action: Combines two different modes of action for enhanced efficacy and resistance management.
Contact and stomach action: Kills pests through both direct contact and ingestion.
Rapid knockdown: Cypermethrin provides a quick knockdown effect, reducing pest populations rapidly.
Long residual activity: Chlorpyrifos offers longer residual control, providing extended protection.
Cost-effective: Provides effective pest control at a competitive price.
Application:
Lara 909 is applied as a foliar spray.
Dosage: Varies depending on the crop and target pest. Refer to the product label for specific recommendations. For cotton, the recommended dosage is 200-400 ml/acre.
