Tracer Green Insecticide is a revolutionary biological insecticide designed to offer farmers a powerful, eco-friendly, and highly effective solution for controlling a wide range of crop-damaging pests. Derived from a naturally occurring soil microorganism known as Saccharopolyspora spinosa, this bio-based product provides superior control over chewing and sucking pests such as caterpillars, thrips, and leafminers, making it one of the most reliable pest control solutions in modern farming.
What is Tracer Green Insecticide?
Tracer Green belongs to the spinosyn class of insecticides. Its active ingredient, Spinosad, is extracted from a fermentation process using beneficial soil bacteria. As a biological insecticide, it harnesses the power of nature to protect crops, without the negative effects associated with chemical pesticides. Tracer Green is ideal for organic farming and integrated pest management (IPM) systems due to its selectivity, safety for non-target organisms, and eco-friendly composition.
Mode of Action: Fast, Effective & Targeted
Tracer Green Insecticide works by targeting the nervous system of pests. Once the insect comes into contact with or ingests the insecticide, it activates specific receptors in the nervous system, resulting in immediate paralysis and cessation of feeding. Death follows within a few hours, ensuring quick crop protection. This unique mechanism allows for effective control even at low dosages, reducing the overall chemical load on the field.
Key Target Pests
Tracer Green offers excellent control over a variety of chewing and sucking pests that are commonly found on major crops:
Caterpillars (Helicoverpa, Spodoptera, etc.)
Thrips
Leafminers
Diamondback moth
Fruit borers
Pod borers
Fall armyworm
These pests are notorious for causing significant yield loss and crop quality deterioration. With Tracer Green, farmers can enjoy peace of mind knowing their crops are protected effectively and sustainably.
Benefits of Using Tracer Green Insecticide
✅ Biological Origin
Tracer Green is derived from a natural source, making it safe for users, crops, and the environment. It does not contain harmful synthetic chemicals, thus offering a cleaner and greener alternative to traditional insecticides.
✅ Fast Action
Within a few hours of application, insects stop feeding and become paralyzed. This rapid knockdown minimizes further crop damage.
✅ Eco-Friendly & Safe for Beneficial Insects
Unlike many synthetic pesticides, Tracer Green is selective in action. It is not harmful to pollinators, predators, or parasitoids such as bees, ladybirds, or lacewings, which are crucial for natural pest control and pollination.
✅ Low Environmental Impact
With minimal residue and low toxicity to mammals and birds, Tracer Green is an ideal choice for sustainable and organic agriculture. It also degrades quickly in the environment, minimizing the risk of contamination.
✅ Resistance Management Tool
Thanks to its unique mode of action, Tracer Green is a valuable product in managing pest resistance. It can be rotated with other insecticides to reduce the chances of pests developing resistance.
✅ Versatile Usage
This insecticide is suitable for a wide range of crops such as:
Vegetables: tomato, chili, brinjal, okra
Fruits: grapes, guava, citrus, pomegranate
Field crops: cotton, pulses, soybean, maize
Ornamentals and floriculture
Application and Dosage
Tracer Green is easy to apply using standard spraying equipment. It is highly compatible with most commonly used agrochemicals, though a compatibility test is recommended before tank mixing.
Recommended dosage:
Use 80–100 ml per acre (depending on crop and pest intensity). Always follow label instructions and consult with an agricultural expert or extension officer for best results.
Timing:
Apply at the early stage of pest appearance for maximum efficacy. Repeated applications may be done at 7–10-day intervals if pest pressure continues.
