Bayer Gaucho 600 FS ( Imidacloprid 600 FS (48%w/w) )

Description

-Technical Content: Imidacloprid 600 FS (48%w/w)

-Gaucho FS 600 is an improved, user-friendly seed treatment formulation containing the systemic insecticide Imidacloprid.

-The systemic activity and the relatively low rate of application makes it user friendly for seed dressing.

-Gaucho 600 FS provides protection to the crop against highly damaging sucking pests from day 1 up to 30–40 days, thus eliminating the need of repeated sprays.

-The reduction of foliar applications makes it very IPM friendly.

-MODE OF ACTION :

-Imidacloprid is antagonist to the nicotinic acetyl choline receptor in the central nervous system. It disturbs the proper signal transmission system leading to excitation of nerve cell. Consequently a disorder of the nervous system occurs leading finally to the death of the treated insect.

-ADVANTAGES :

 -The targeted application of Gaucho, through seed treatment, reduces the contamination of environment in unprecedented way

-User friendly seed treatment formulation

-Since it gives protection to crop from sucking pests for initial 30- 40 days the sprays are not required which helps in augmentation of natural enemies. Thus ideally suited for IPM programs

-Gaucho does not get washed away by rain

-Application results in better crop emergence and vigorous growth

-Economical due to longer persistence

-Recommendations for Use:

-Any small quantity of seed can be readily treated on the farm by mixing the proper amount of Gaucho FS 600 and seed in a closed mixing drum. Roll the seed until each grain is uniformly coated with the insecticide. Seed treatment on commercial basis can be carried out by specialised seed dressing companies.
