Splendour is a broad-spectrum insecticide that provides systemic and contact action against a wide range of sucking pests.1 It is manufactured by Crystal Crop Protection Limited and contains Thiacloprid 21.7% SC as its active ingredient.2 This insecticide belongs to the neonicotinoid group and offers effective control of pests like aphids, jassids, whiteflies, and thrips in cotton and paddy.3
Mode of Action:
Splendour works by disrupting the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) in the insect's nervous system. This leads to overstimulation of the receptors, causing continuous firing of neurons, paralysis, and ultimately death. It acts through both contact and ingestion, providing rapid and effective control.4
Key Features and Benefits:
Broad-spectrum activity: Controls a wide range of sucking pests, including aphids, jassids, whiteflies, and thrips.5
Systemic and translaminar action: Penetrates plant tissues and moves within the leaves, providing thorough protection.6
Contact and stomach action: Kills pests through both direct contact and ingestion.7
Rapid knockdown effect: Quickly controls pest populations, minimizing crop damage.
Long residual activity: Offers extended protection against pests, reducing the frequency of applications.8
Rainfastness: Remains effective even after rainfall, ensuring longer persistence.9
Active against resistant pests: Effective against pest populations that have developed resistance to other insecticides.10
Application:
Splendour is applied as a foliar spray. It's important to ensure thorough coverage of the crop for optimal results.
