Alonze® 50EC is an insecticide, miticide, and nematicide highly effective through contact and translaminar activities which is used to control Spidermites, Thrips, Leafminers, and Nematodes.

Key Features:

Active Ingredient:

• Abamectin (50 g/L): Derived from a natural source, Abamectin is a potent compound that targets the nervous system of pests, leading to paralysis and death. Its dual action as a contact and translaminar insecticide ensures comprehensive protection.

Formulation:

• Emulsifiable Concentrate (EC): This liquid formulation mixes easily with water, forming a uniform solution that can be applied using standard spraying equipment.

Target Pests:

• Spider Mites: Common in roses and carnations, these pests cause stippling, discoloration, and leaf drop.
• Leaf Miners: Affect crops like runner beans, snow peas, broccoli, tomatoes, and French beans by tunneling through leaves.
• Thrips: Found on chilies, tomatoes, and French beans, they cause discoloration and deformation of leaves and fruits.
• Nematodes: Affect the root systems of potatoes, leading to stunted growth and reduced yields.

Application Guidelines:

• Method: Apply by spraying the solution directly onto the affected areas. Ensure thorough coverage of both the upper and lower leaf surfaces to maximize effectiveness.
• Mixing Instructions:
• For Roses and Carnations: Mix 3 ml of Alonze 50EC per 20 liters of water.
• For Potatoes: Use 240-300 ml/ha in 1000 liters of water.
• Other Crops: Adjust the mixing ratio according to the specific crop and pest pressure. Follow label instructions for the best results.
• Frequency: Reapply as needed, typically every 7-14 days, depending on the severity of pest infestation and crop conditions.
• Re-Entry Interval: Do not enter treated areas until 12 hours after application to ensure safety.
• Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI): Varies by crop. For instance:
• 7 days: Chilies, broccoli, snow peas
• 3 days: Runner beans, tomatoes, French beans
• 14 days: Potatoes
