UPL LancerGold (Acephate 50% + Imidacloprid 1.8% SP): Powerful Dual-Action Insecticide

? What is UPL LancerGold?

UPL LancerGold is a dual-action systemic insecticide that combines the strengths of two powerful molecules: Acephate and Imidacloprid. This blend provides broad-spectrum, long-lasting protection against both sucking and chewing insects, ensuring healthy crop growth and better yields.

? Mode of Action

• Acephate: Works as a contact and systemic insecticide; it inhibits acetylcholinesterase activity in pests, causing paralysis and death.

• Imidacloprid: A neonicotinoid that disrupts nerve impulses by blocking nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, leading to rapid pest knockdown.

Together, they provide quick knockdown and residual control of a wide range of pests.

✅ Key Benefits

• ✔️ Dual action – controls both sucking (like aphids, jassids, whiteflies) and chewing (like bollworms) pests

• ? Systemic movement – protects even the new growth of the plant

• ? Quick knockdown and longer residual activity

• ? Resistance management – helps delay pest resistance by using a dual mode of action

• ? Improves crop health and boosts yield

? Target Pests Controlled
