How It Works: Mode of Action
Ganno uses a unique "Synergistic Attack" on the insect nervous system. It confuses the pest's nerves in two opposite ways, leading to instant paralysis and death.
- Fipronil (The Brake Remover): It blocks the chloride channels (GABA-gated). This removes the "brakes" from the insect's nervous system, causing uncontrollable convulsions.
- Imidacloprid (The Accelerator): It mimics Acetylcholine and permanently jams the nerve receptors open. This acts like a stuck "accelerator," causing continuous tremors.
- The Result: The combination of hyperexcitation and paralysis ensures the insect stops feeding immediately and dies shortly after contact or ingestion.
Because it attacks two different sites, pests cannot easily develop resistance to Ganno.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Sugarcane | White Grub (Root Borers) |
| Groundnut | White Grub, Termites, Aphids, Jassids |
| Cotton & Rice | Thrips, Aphids, Jassids, Brown Plant Hopper (BPH), Stem Borer |
Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results. For Sugarcane, soil drenching is the most effective method.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (gm / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (gm / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sugarcane | 175 – 200 gm | 400 – 500 L | 0.4 – 0.5 gm | 296 Days |
| Groundnut | 100 – 120 gm | 400 L | 0.25 – 0.3 gm | Refer Label |
| Cotton / Rice | 40 – 50 gm | 200 L | 0.2 – 0.25 gm | Refer Label |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting. Note the long waiting period for Sugarcane.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: For White Grubs, apply at the time of planting or early vegetative stage. The long PHI for Sugarcane means it must be used early in the season.
- Mixing: Ganno granules disperse rapidly. Mix the required quantity in a small amount of water first to create a solution, then add to the main tank.
- Coverage: For soil pests (Grubs/Termites), use the "Drenching" method with high water volume (up to 500L/acre) to ensure the medicine reaches the root zone.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Avoid applying during active bee foraging.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the best time to use Ganno in Sugarcane?
Due to the 296-day waiting period, it must be applied at planting or very early in the crop cycle to control White Grubs effectively and ensure safety at harvest.
2. Can I use Ganno for home gardens?
Yes, it is effective for ornamental plants. A common dosage for small applications is approx 6-7 grams per 15-liter pump.
3. What is the "Phytotonic Effect"?
This refers to the product's ability to reduce plant stress and increase chlorophyll. Farmers often notice their crops looking greener and healthier after application.
4. Does it control termites?
Yes, the combination of Fipronil and Imidacloprid is highly effective against termites in crops like Groundnut and Sugarcane.
5. Is this product safe for fish?
No. Fipronil is toxic to aquatic life. Do not use near ponds, rivers, or fish tanks, and prevent runoff into water bodies.
