Lambrada® (Lambdacyhalothrin 5% EC) 250gm l For Control of Thrips, Bollworm, Stemborer

Description

Protect your cropping investments from heavy pest pressures with Hifield Lambrada®, an advanced broad-spectrum insecticide containing Lambda-cyhalothrin 5% EC. Belonging to the highly effective synthetic pyrethroid chemical class, this emulsifiable concentrate is engineered to provide quick contact knockdown and strong anti-feeding properties.

When insect populations spike rapidly, delay can mean catastrophic defoliation or structural crop damage. Hifield Lambrada addresses this by acting immediately upon contact or ingestion. It creates a highly active chemical barrier on the leaf surface, ensuring that insects traversing or feeding on the treated foliage are neutralized within hours, helping to preserve the integrity of your harvest.

Key Benefits & Features

• Rapid Knockdown Action: Delivers immediate contact and stomach toxicity, halting insect feeding behavior within minutes and causing pest mortality within hours.

• Broad-Spectrum Pest Suppression: Highly effective against a vast array of destructive insect orders, managing both foliage-devouring caterpillars and sap-sucking pests simultaneously.

• Strong Repellent Properties: Acts as a powerful feeding deterrent; even low sub-lethal deposits on the foliage discourage adult insects from feeding or laying eggs on the crop.

• Excellent Cuticular Adhesion: The emulsifiable concentrate matrix is formulated to spread evenly and bind tightly to the waxy layer of the leaf, providing good initial rainfastness.

• Cost-Effective Field Management: Provides highly reliable pest suppression at economical application rates, making it an excellent component for standard seasonal spray rotations.

Mode of Action

Hifield Lambrada® targets the neuromuscular pathways of susceptible insect pests. The active ingredient, Lambda-cyhalothrin, works as a Voltage-Gated Sodium Channel Modulator. Upon direct contact or ingestion, the chemical penetrates the insect’s cuticle and binds to the sodium channels along the nerve membranes. It prevents these channels from closing, causing a prolonged and continuous influx of sodium ions into the nerve cells. This disruption results in rapid repetitive nerve firing, severe convulsions, immediate muscular paralysis (“knockdown effect”), and rapid dehydration leading to death.

Target Crops & Controlled Pests

This versatile pyrethroid formulation is highly recommended across a diverse range of high-value agricultural sectors:

• Cotton & Fiber Crops: Controls American Bollworms (Helicoverpa armigera), Pink Bollworms, Spotted Bollworms, Jassids, and Thrips.

• Paddy (Rice): Effectively targets Stem Borers, Leaf Folders, Green Leafhoppers, and Gall Midges.

• Vegetables (Tomato, Chilli, Brinjal): Manages Fruit Borers, Shoot Borers, Thrips, and leaf-feeding beetles.

• Pulses & Oilseeds (Soybean, Chickpea): Controls Pod Borers, Girdle Beetles, and Semiloopers.

• Fruit Orchards (Mango, Grapes): Suppresses Leafhoppers, Thrips, and fruit-damaging bugs.

Application Guidelines & Dosage

For maximum efficacy, apply Hifield Lambrada at the early appearance of pest activity or when field scouting indicates that economic threshold levels (ETL) have been crossed.

• Recommended Dosage: Mix 1 ml to 1.5 ml of Hifield Lambrada per liter of water, depending on the target pest complex and crop density.

• Application Method: Apply as a uniform foliar spray. Calibrate spray equipment to ensure thorough wetting of the entire canopy, as contact placement is critical for pyrethroid performance.

• Best Practices: Apply during the early morning or late evening hours when temperatures are cooler. Avoid applications during mid-day heat or high wind conditions to minimize spray drift and chemical volatilization.

• Tank Compatibility: Compatible with most commonly used non-alkaline fungicides, insecticides, and foliar nutrients. Avoid tank mixing with highly alkaline materials (such as lime-sulfur or Bordeaux mixture), which can break down the active pyrethroid molecule.
