More Details

GANNO is a unique insecticide manufactured by HPM India. It combines two powerful active ingredients for dual action against a wide range of pests:

  • Fipronil 40% WG: A phenylpyrazole insecticide that disrupts the insect's central nervous system.

  • Imidacloprid 40% WG: A neonicotinoid insecticide that interferes with nerve signal transmission.

This combination makes GANNO a formidable solution for controlling tough pests, especially white grubs in sugarcane.

Key features and benefits:

  • Broad-spectrum activity: GANNO effectively controls various soil and foliar pests, including white grubs, termites, and sucking pests like aphids, jassids, and whiteflies.

  • Dual mode of action: The combination of Fipronil and Imidacloprid offers two different ways to kill pests, reducing the likelihood of resistance development.

  • Systemic and contact action: Fipronil acts primarily through ingestion and contact, while Imidacloprid is systemic, providing both internal and external protection.

  • Long-lasting residual control: GANNO provides extended protection, reducing the frequency of applications.

  • Improved plant growth: It has been observed to have a positive effect on plant growth, potentially leading to better yields.

Mode of action:

  • Fipronil: Disrupts the insect central nervous system by blocking GABA-gated chloride channels and glutamate-gated chloride (GluCl) channels. This leads to uncontrolled nerve activity and ultimately death.

  • Imidacloprid: Acts as an antagonist by binding to postsynaptic nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the insect central nervous system. This disrupts nerve impulse transmission, causing paralysis and death.

Recommended crops:

GANNO is particularly effective on:

  • Sugarcane: For controlling white grubs and termites.

  • It can also be used on other crops where those pests are a problem.

Application:

GANNO is a water dispersible granule (WG) formulation. It should be dissolved in water according to the recommended dosage and applied as a soil treatment or foliar spray. Ensure even distribution for optimal results. Always refer to the product label for specific instructions.

Safety precautions:

  • Always wear protective clothing, including gloves and a mask, when handling GANNO.

  • Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

  • Keep out of reach of children and animals.

  • Do not apply near water bodies to prevent contamination.

  • Follow the recommended waiting period between application and harvest.

Important Note:

Always follow the recommended dosage and application instructions provided on the product label. For specific queries or concerns, consult an agricultural expert or contact HPM India directly.
