Introduction of Bayer Glamore Insecticide

When it comes to controlling harmful sucking pests in crops, Bayer Glamore Insecticide has emerged as one of the most reliable and fast-acting solutions for Indian farmers. Known for its superior performance on resistant pests and long-lasting protection, Glamore is widely used in cotton, vegetables, pulses, and several horticultural crops. 

In this blog, we will explore the Bayer Glamore technical name, recommended dosage, per-litre mixing ratio, benefits, and complete usage guide to help farmers get maximum yield and safe crop protection.

What is Bayer Glamore Insecticide?

Bayer Glamore is a broad-spectrum systemic insecticide formulated to target major sucking pests. It has quick absorption properties and works effectively through both contact and stomach action, ensuring thorough pest control in all growth stages.

Bayer Glamore Insecticide Technical Name

The technical name of Bayer Glamore Insecticide is:

Ethiprole 40% + Imidacloprid 40% WG

Imidacloprid belongs to the neonicotinoid group, known for its strong action on sucking pests and its ability to provide long-duration protection with minimal environmental impact when used as per recommendations.

How Bayer Glamore Works (Mode of Action)

Glamore works by interfering with the pest’s nervous system. Once the insect comes in contact or consumes the treated plant surface:

• It binds to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors
  
• Disrupts nerve signal transmission
  
• Causes paralysis and eventually death of the insect
  

This makes Glamore extremely effective on pests that have developed resistance to older insecticides.
