Dhanuka Largo Insecticide - Spinetoram 11.7% SC

Dhanuka Largo Spinetoram 11.7% SC Insecticide

Product Description

Dhanuka Largo is a broad-spectrum insecticide containing Spinetoram 11.7% SC. It belongs to the spinosyn class of insect-management products, which originated from the fermentation of the naturally occurring soil bacterium Saccharopolyspora spinosa and subsequent chemical modification.

Largo controls thrips and lepidopteran insect pests through both contact and ingestion action. Its rapid leaf penetration and translaminar movement help reach pests feeding in difficult-to-access areas of the crop canopy. It offers fast action, residual protection and control across multiple insect growth stages.

Its binding profile differs from those of several other insecticide classes, making Largo a useful rotational option in insecticide-resistance management. Rotation must follow authorised label directions and established resistance-management guidelines.
