Lancer Gold Dose — Recommended Dose:

The Lancer Gold Dose Per Litre is 1.5–2 gm per litre of water for most foliar spray applications, equivalent to 500–600 gm per acre for Cotton and Paddy.

How To Use UPL Lancer Gold Insecticide:

1. Measure the required dose of Lancer Gold as per the crop-wise dose table above.

2. Pre-dissolve the measured powder in a small bucket of clean water first and stir until fully dissolved — then pour into the sprayer tank.

3. Fill the tank with the remaining clean water and agitate well to form a uniform solution.

4. For Cotton, spray thoroughly on both upper and lower leaf surfaces — ensure the underside of leaves is wet where sucking pests cluster.

5. For Paddy, direct the spray toward the base of the plant where Hoppers concentrate near the waterline.

6. Apply at the first sign of pest activity or when pest populations cross the Economic Threshold Level.

7. Spray during early morning or late evening — avoid peak bee foraging hours as Lancer Gold insecticide contains Imidacloprid, which is toxic to bees.

8. Rinse the sprayer thoroughly with clean water after every use.

Best Time to Apply:

Apply Lancer Gold in the early morning or late evening. For Cotton, spray at the first sign of Bollworm egg hatching or sucking pest colony formation on young leaves. For Paddy hoppers, apply during the active tillering stage when pest populations first reach the economic threshold.

Frequency of Application and Re-Entry Period:

• Frequency of Application: Apply at the first sign of pest infestation. Lancer Gold insecticide provides 7–10 days of residual control — repeat as needed but do not exceed 2–3 applications per season. Always rotate with insecticides from different IRAC groups after 2 consecutive applications.

• Re-Entry Period: Do not enter treated fields for at least 24 hours after spraying without proper protective gear. Lancer Gold carries a Yellow Label classification — handle with appropriate precautions.

• Tank-Mix Compatibility: Lancer Gold insecticide is compatible with most chemical-based fungicides and insecticides. Always perform a jar test before mixing with any unfamiliar product.
