Greenlife Lexus 247SC Insecticide

Lexus 247SC is a broad-spectrum systemic insecticide designed to control a variety of pests on crops such as roses, vegetables, and ornamentals. Its effectiveness and versatility make it a popular choice among both commercial growers and home gardeners. Here are some key details:

Active Ingredients

Lambda-cyhalothrin: A synthetic pyrethroid with contact and stomach action, disrupting the nervous system of insects. This compound provides quick knockdown and residual control of pests.

Thiamethoxam: A neonicotinoid that acts as an acetylcholine receptor agonist, damaging the nervous system of insects. This ingredient ensures thorough pest control by affecting both contact and ingestion pathways.

Target Pests

Aphids

Whiteflies

Thrips

Diamondback moth

Caterpillars

Application Rates

Roses: 200 ml per hectare in 1000 liters of water (4 ml in 20 liters of water)

Vegetables (Capsicum, French beans, Onions, Tomatoes): Similar rates as for roses

Cabbage: Effective against Diamondback moth and aphids

Broccoli: Targets aphids, thrips, and caterpillars

Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)

French beans, onions, cabbage: 14 days

Tomatoes, broccoli, capsicum: 7 days

Application Method

Mixing: Fill the spray tank with half the required amount of water, add the required amount of Lexus 247SC, and then fill the tank with the remaining water. Agitate to ensure thorough mixing.

Spraying: Apply as a foliar spray, ensuring adequate coverage of plant foliage and flowers.

Re-Entry Interval: Do not enter treated areas until 12 hours after spraying unless wearing appropriate protective clothing.

Resistance Management

To avoid resistance, alternate Lexus 247SC with another insecticide that has a different mode of action. Apply when the pest economic injury level has reached or at the first signs of infestation, repeating as necessary 3 times per season at 10-day intervals.
