This blog aims to give you a comprehensive overview of Bayer Alanto—its features, working mechanism, benefits, usage guidelines, compatibility, recommended crops, and frequently asked questions.

What is Bayer Alanto Insecticide?

Bayer Alanto is a systematic and broad-spectrum insecticide specially formulated to control a wide range of sucking pests. It is based on two powerful active ingredients:

• Thiacloprid (a neonicotinoid insecticide)
  
• Fluopyram (a molecule with insecticidal and nematicidal activity)
  

This dual-action formula provides both immediate and persistent control, making it effective even in high pest pressure conditions. It moves within the plant system to protect newly grown leaves, ensuring long-term crop protection.

How Bayer Alanto Works

Bayer Alanto works through systemic action, meaning it is absorbed by the plant and circulated through the plant tissues. When pests feed on plant sap, they ingest the active ingredients, which disrupt their nerve and respiratory system.

Its Mode of Action includes:

• Neonicotinoid effect: Targets the nervous system causing paralysis.
  
• Respiration inhibition: Interrupts cellular energy production, leading to pest death.
  

This combination makes it highly effective against key sucking pests such as aphids, thrips, whiteflies, jassids, and leaf miners.
