PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Syngenta Alika is a high-potency, broad-spectrum pre-mixed insecticide combining two active chemistries in a ZC formulation (mixture of Capsule Suspension and Suspension Concentrate). Powered by Syngenta’s Zeon technology, it delivers fast contact knockdown along with systemic residual activity. This dual-lock approach protects crops simultaneously against surface-feeding caterpillars and sap-sucking insects.
KEY FEATURES & BENEFITS
- Dual-Action Knockdown & Persistence: Provides immediate knockdown through Lambda-Cyhalothrin and extended protection via systemic movement of Thiamethoxam.
- Zeon Technology (Rainfastness): Microencapsulated active ingredient adheres to foliage quickly (within 1 hour), ensuring resistance to rain wash-off.
- Phyto-Tonic Effect: Promotes enhanced greening and vigor in treated crops, helping plants recover faster from environmental and pest stress.
- Broad Spectrum Coverage: Controls multiple life stages (eggs, nymphs/larvae, and adults) across a wide range of sucking and chewing pests.
- Convenience: A single solution that eliminates the hassle and expense of tank-mixing separate systemic and contact insecticides.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
- Wear full personal protective equipment (protective gloves, rubber boots, face mask, goggles, and full-sleeve suit) during preparation and application.
- Extremely toxic to honeybees and aquatic organisms; strictly avoid spraying near open water sources or during active flowering hours.
- Do not eat, drink, or smoke during handling. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after application.
- Keep sealed in original containers under lock and key in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from food, animal feed, and children.
