"PANTHER" is a name used for a few different pesticide products. To give you the most accurate information, I need a little more detail. However, I can describe two common "PANTHER" pesticides:
1. PANTHER (Captan 50% WP Fungicide)
This PANTHER is a broad-spectrum contact fungicide that controls various fungal diseases in many crops.
Active Ingredient: Captan 50% WP (Wettable Powder)
Mode of Action:
Non-systemic contact fungicide.
Prevents fungal spores from germinating and penetrating plant tissue.
Multi-site activity makes it difficult for fungi to develop resistance.
Target Diseases: Early blight, late blight, leaf spot diseases, rusts, powdery mildew, sheath blight, blast, etc.
Target Crops: Fruits, vegetables, field crops (rice, wheat, maize, cotton), and others like coffee, tea, and ornamentals.
Benefits: Broad-spectrum control, preventative action, rainfastness, compatible with many other pesticides.
2. PANTHER (Insecticide with Thiamethoxam and Lambda-cyhalothrin)
This PANTHER is an insecticide that combines two active ingredients for broad-spectrum control of various insect pests.
Active Ingredients:
Thiamethoxam 12.6%
Lambda-cyhalothrin 9.5% ZC
Mode of Action:
Thiamethoxam is systemic, absorbed by the plant, and disrupts the insect nervous system.
Lambda-cyhalothrin is a contact and stomach insecticide that also disrupts the nervous system.
Target Pests: A wide range of sucking and chewing pests, including aphids, whiteflies, jassids, thrips, caterpillars, and beetles.
Target Crops: Cotton, Tea, Tomato, Maize, Chilli, Groundnut, Soybean.
Benefits: Dual action for enhanced control and resistance management, broad-spectrum activity, and effective against both sucking and chewing pests.
Important Considerations for all PANTHER pesticides:
Safety: Always follow label instructions for safe handling and application. Use appropriate personal protective equipment.
Environmental Impact: Be mindful of potential effects on non-target organisms.
