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.
