LakGro Bait®

Fruit flies are major pests affecting fruits and some vegetable crops, leading to economic damage, yield loss, and export restrictions. Female fruit flies lay their eggs beneath the fruit skin, and the developing maggots cause damage to the fruit. Newly emerged flies are highly attracted to protein sources to meet their essential protein needs for reproduction. The use of protein baits mixed with a toxicant is the only available tool for attracting and eliminating female flies, directly responsible for fruit damage.

LakGro Bait® is a specially blended protein bait lure designed to attract fruit fly pests. It is the only protein bait recommended by the Department of Agriculture (DOA) for area-wide integrated management of fruit fly and melon fly pests in Sri Lanka. LakGro Bait® mixed with a toxicant (Spinosad, Success 2.5 SC®) should be applied to crop foliage as spots during the susceptible period of fruits to fruit fly pests. Integrating LakGro Bait® with other available sanitary/cultural/physical practices reduces the fruit fly population and minimizes damage in the surrounding areas to a manageable level. For more details, please refer to the product brochure.

LakGro Neem (Azadirachtin A 7.5 g/l, EC)

LakGro Neem 7.5 EC, a locally manufactured natural pesticide (botanical insecticide/miticide), holds full registration status (licensed) under the Pesticide Registration Act No. 33 of 1980 in Sri Lanka (Registration No. N 810000). The product, derived from the active constituents found in Sri Lankan neem seeds, is standardized using the most prominent active constituent, Azadirachtin A, and formulated into an EC with a bio-degradable surfactant system.

LakGro Neem 7.5 EC is endorsed by the Department of Agriculture (DOA) for controlling leaf-feeding cat erpillars (Plutella xylostella, Spodoptera litura, Crosidolomia binotalis, Hellulla undarlis, and Trichoplusia ni) on cruciferous crops (cabbage, knol khol, broccoli, etc.) and sap-sucking pests (aphids, thrips, whiteflies, and mites) that lead to leaf curling and virus infections in chili and capsicum crops. It is also effective against a broad spectrum of pests attacking vegetable, fruit, and ornamental crops. Due to its low toxicity (WHO hazard category IV), a wide range of activity against pests, and a short Pre-Harvest Interval, it is suitable for pest control in various crops cultivated under different practices (organic and GAP certified cultivations, protected agriculture, and open-field crops).

Advantages of using LakGro Neem 7.5 EC

LakGro Neem 7.5 EC can be advantageously used over synthetic pesticides in the following situations:.

  • Regular application of LakGro Neem at weekly intervals with a concentration of 0.3% prevents infestation by a broad spectrum of pests. Its wide-ranging activity against insect and mite pests reduces the number of pesticide applications and incurred costs per season.
  • LakGro Neem is comparatively safe for natural enemies. Therefore, natural enemies thrive in fields treated with LakGro Neem, actively contributing to suppressing pest infestations and resulting in a healthier crop.
  • LakGro Neem is compatible with biological pest management.
  • LakGro Neem has very low toxicity to pollinators (honeybees), and therefore its application has no negative impact on crop yield.
  • LakGro Neem provides one of the best alternatives for controlling pests that have developed resistance to synthetic pesticides.
  • LakGro Neem poses no hazard to the user/spray operator when applied using prescribed methods.
  • Multiple modes of action discourage the development of resistance strains, minimizing the risk associated with repeated applications.
  • LakGro Neem is manufactured in Sri Lanka using local neem seeds and helps provide employment and income for the rural population of Sri Lanka.
