Latitude 10SC 50ML Spinosad Insecticide Fruit Borer and thrips Evyol Group Combagro agpharma kanzo
200ML in 80liter of water for 1 acre
Spinosad (10SC) is a highly effective, modern bio-pesticide derived from a naturally occurring soil bacterium called Saccharopolyspora spinosa. The "10SC" designation refers to a 10% Suspension Concentrate formulation, which is popular in agriculture for being both eco-friendly and powerful.
Because it is biologically derived, it is often a top choice for Organic Farming and Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs.
1. Target Pest Control
Spinosad is specifically designed to target the "hard-to-kill" pests that have developed resistance to older chemicals.
* Caterpillars & Worms: Highly effective against Armyworms, Diamondback moths, Cabbage loopers, and Fruit borers.
* Thrips & Leafminers: It is one of the most reliable treatments for Thrips and Leafminers in vegetables and cotton.
* Beetles: Effective against Colorado potato beetles and various leaf-eating beetle larvae.
2. Unique Mode of Action
Spinosad works differently than traditional synthetic insecticides, which helps prevent pest resistance.
* Nerve & Stomach Poison: It kills pests both through contact (touching the spray) and ingestion (eating the treated leaves).
* Rapid Effect: Pests stop feeding within minutes of exposure due to immediate muscle tremors and paralysis. While the insect may stay on the plant for 1–2 days, it can no longer cause damage.
* Translaminar Movement: When sprayed on leaves, it moves into the leaf tissue. This protects the "inside" of the leaf from pests like leafminers that hide between leaf layers.
3. Safety and Environmental Benefits
This is where Spinosad shines compared to older chemical alternatives:
* Safe for Beneficial Insects: It is remarkably selective. It kills harmful pests but generally spares "good" insects like ladybugs, lacewings, and predatory mites.
* Low Mammalian Toxicity: It is very safe for humans, pets, and wildlife. It has been used for decades in both agriculture and even in human medicine (to treat head lice).
* Rapid Breakdown: It breaks down quickly in sunlight (photolysis), meaning it doesn't leave harmful long-term residues on your crops or in the soil.
* Organic Certified: Many formulations of Spinosad are approved for organic food production (check your local OMRI or organic certification label).
Application Quick Guide
* When to Spray: Late evening is best. This avoids direct contact with bees (which are active during the day) and allows the product to dry on the leaves.
* Mixing: 10SC is a liquid concentrate. Typically, you mix it with water at a rate of 1ml to 2ml per liter, but always verify with the specific instructions on the bottle.
* Resistance Management: To keep it effective, do not use Spinosad more than 2–3 times in a row; rotate it with a different class of insecticide.
