FAQs:
1. How does Lancer Gold work?
UPL Lancer Gold Insecticide acts as both a stomach and contact insecticide. Once ingested or contacted by the pest, its components disrupt the nervous system, resulting in paralysis and death.
2. Is Lancergold safe for beneficial insects?
While it targets pests efficiently, it is always advised to minimise exposure to beneficial insects by applying it during times when these beneficial populations are less active (e.g., early morning or late evening) and using targeted applications.
3. Can I use Lancergold with other pesticides?
Mixing pesticides can sometimes enhance effectiveness; however, it’s important to conduct a compatibility test and adhere to agricultural guidelines to avoid phytotoxicity.
4. What safety precautions should I take when using Lancergold?
Always wear protective clothing, gloves, and goggles during application. Ensure adequate ventilation and avoid spraying on windy days to minimise drift.
5. How often can I apply Lancergold?
Follow local guidelines regarding the frequency of application, which typically should not exceed the recommended number of applications per growing season to avoid resistance development and environmental harm.
6. What is the waiting period before harvesting?
Check the product label for the specific pre-harvest interval (PHI), which indicates the safe time to wait before harvesting crops treated with this insecticide. Always consult with a local agricultural extension officer or a pest management professional for further information tailored to your specific agricultural needs.
