Description
Latino Insecticide is an advanced, high-performance pest control solution manufactured by Tara Group. This product combines two potent active ingredients—Thiamethoxam and Chlorantraniliprole—designed to effectively manage a broad spectrum of insect pests across various crops.
Available in a 100ml concentrate form, this insecticide delivers powerful, fast-acting control, making it a must-have for farmers, horticulturists, and gardeners dealing with insect infestations.
Latino Insecticide operates as a systemic insecticide, meaning it is absorbed by the plants and translocated throughout their tissues. This ensures long-lasting protection against pests, even in areas not directly sprayed.

-
Systemic Action: Absorbed by plants and transported throughout, ensuring uniform protection.
-
Long-Lasting Effect: Provides protection for extended periods, reducing the need for frequent reapplications.
-
Environmental Safety: Formulated to minimize impact on beneficial insects, such as pollinators and natural predators.
Active Ingredients Breakdown
Thiamethoxam
A member of the neonicotinoid family, Thiamethoxam acts by interfering with the transmission of nerve impulses in insects. It works quickly, providing rapid knockdown of pests. It targets pests like aphids, whiteflies, and termites by binding to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in their nervous system.
Chlorantraniliprole
A modern insecticide from the diamide class, Chlorantraniliprole targets the ryanodine receptors in insect muscles. By disrupting calcium ion regulation, it causes paralysis and death in insects. This ingredient is particularly effective against caterpillars, beetles, and other foliar-feeding pests.
How Latino Insecticide Works?
Latino Insecticide combines the strengths of both Thiamethoxam and Chlorantraniliprole to provide a double-action solution for pest management. When applied to plants, the insecticide is absorbed into the plant’s vascular system and distributed throughout its tissues. As insects feed on the plant, they ingest the insecticide and are killed by the toxic effects of the active ingredients.
-
Thiamethoxam works as a contact and systemic insecticide, disrupting nerve function in insects and causing rapid death.
-
Chlorantraniliprole works by targeting the insect’s muscle cells, preventing movement and leading to the insect’s death. It also provides residual protection, killing pests over an extended period.
This combination ensures that both chewing and sucking pests are effectively controlled. The dual-action formula is also more difficult for pests to develop resistance against, compared to single-active ingredient products.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Latino Insecticide remain effective after application?
The insecticide provides long-lasting protection for up to 14-21 days, depending on weather conditions and pest pressure. Reapplication may be necessary if pest infestation persists.
Is Latino Insecticide harmful to bees and other beneficial insects?
Latino Insecticide is designed to have minimal impact on beneficial insects like bees and ladybugs. However, it is important to apply the product during times when pollinators are less active (early morning or late evening) to reduce the risk of exposure.
Can Latino Insecticide cause resistance in pests?
While the combined action of Thiamethoxam and Chlorantraniliprole helps delay resistance, it is important to follow a proper pest management strategy. Rotate insecticides with different modes of action to prevent resistance.
