UPL Lancer Gold Insecticide (Acephate 50% + Imidacloprid 1.8% SP)
The "Gold Standard" Dual-Action Combo for Sucking and Chewing Pests.
UPL Lancer Gold is a powerful combination insecticide designed for the complete management of mixed pest infestations. By uniting Acephate (a systemic organophosphate) with Imidacloprid (a systemic neonicotinoid) in a unique Soluble Powder (SP) formulation, it delivers a "double punch" to pests. It controls sucking pests like Aphids and Jassids while simultaneously tackling chewing pests like Bollworms and Stem Borers.
Best For: Cotton and Paddy (Rice) farmers dealing with multiple types of pests at the same time.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ⚡Dual Power Synergy: Combines two powerful molecules. Acephate handles the heavy chewing pests and general infestation, while Imidacloprid targets the hidden sucking pests with precision.
- ?Systemic & Contact Action: Works on contact (spray hitting the pest) and systemically (pest eating the plant). It travels inside the plant to protect new leaves that grow after spraying.
- ?️Safe SP Formulation: The Soluble Powder dissolves completely in water without harsh solvents. This makes it safer for the crop, reducing the risk of leaf burn even in hot weather.
- ?Broad Spectrum Control: A true "One-Shot" solution. It controls Aphids, Jassids, Thrips, Whiteflies, AND Bollworms/Stem Borers in a single spray.
- ?High Economic Value: Cost-effective protection. At approximately ₹400 per acre, it offers premium protection at a price affordable for every farmer.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Lancer Gold attacks the pest's nervous system through two different pathways, making it difficult for pests to survive.
- Pathway 1 (Acephate): Blocks the enzyme "Acetylcholinesterase." This causes the insect's nerves to fire uncontrollably, leading to tremors and death.
- Pathway 2 (Imidacloprid): Mimics the neurotransmitter "Acetylcholine" and locks onto the receptors. This causes permanent excitation and paralysis.
- Systemic Movement: The chemical is absorbed by the leaves and roots, moving throughout the plant. Hidden pests die when they suck the poisonous sap.
This combination is highly effective against pests that have developed resistance to single-chemical sprays.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Pests |
|---|---|
| Cotton | Aphids, Jassids, Thrips, Whiteflies, Bollworms |
| Paddy (Rice) | Brown Plant Hopper (BPH), GLH, Stem Borer, Leaf Folder |
| Vegetables (e.g. Brinjal) | Aphids, Whiteflies, Fruit Borers |
Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Ensure full coverage. Use adequate water volume to reach the pests hiding at the base of the plant or under leaves.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (g / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (g / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cotton | 400 - 500 g | 200 - 250 L | 2.0 g | 15 - 40 Days* |
| Paddy (Rice) | 400 g | 200 L | 2.0 g | 15 - 21 Days |
| Vegetables | 400 g | 200 L | 2.0 g | 10 Days |
*PHI Note: For export cotton, wait 40 days. For domestic use, 15 days is standard.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Spray when pest population crosses the Economic Threshold Level (e.g., 10-15% infested plants).
- Mixing: The SP powder dissolves easily. Mix the required dose in a bucket of water first, then add to the spray tank.
- Coverage: For Paddy, spray towards the base of the plant to hit the Hoppers. For Cotton, ensure the underside of leaves is wet.
- Safety: This product is Highly Toxic (Yellow Label). Wear gloves, mask, and boots. Do not inhale the spray mist. Spray in the evening to protect bees.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does Lancer Gold kill bollworms?
Yes. Thanks to the 50% Acephate content, it effectively kills chewing pests like Bollworms and Stem Borers, in addition to sucking pests.
2. Is it safe for vegetables?
Yes, but use it with caution. Do not use it close to harvest (within 10 days). It is excellent for the vegetative (growing) stage of vegetables.
3. Can I mix it with other products?
It is compatible with most fungicides. However, since it is a powder, ensure it is fully dissolved before adding other liquids.
4. What is the difference between Lancer and Lancer Gold?
"Lancer" is typically just Acephate 75% SP. "Lancer Gold" adds Imidacloprid, giving it extra power against resistant sucking pests like Aphids and Jassids.
5. Is it safe for bees?
No. Both Acephate and Imidacloprid are toxic to bees. Do not spray when the crop is in full bloom and bees are active. Spray in the late evening.
