Bayer Trance Flonicamid 18% + Spirotetramat 13.5% SC Insecticide

Bayer Trance is an advanced dual-mode insecticide containing Flonicamid 18% + Spirotetramat 13.5% SC, developed for effective management of major sucking insect pests in cotton.

Trance combines the rapid feeding-stoppage action of Flonicamid with the powerful two-way systemic activity of Spirotetramat. This complementary combination helps control pests such as whitefly, aphids, jassids and thrips while protecting existing foliage as well as new plant growth.

Its systemic and translaminar activity, rapid feeding cessation and rainfastness within approximately 2 hours make Bayer Trance a useful solution for managing complex sucking-pest infestations in cotton.

Product Specifications

Key Features & Benefits

Dual Mode of Action: Combines Spirotetramat and Flonicamid with two different modes of action for effective sucking-pest management.

Two-Way Systemicity: Spirotetramat moves through the plant and helps protect both existing foliage and developing plant parts.

Translaminar Activity: Helps provide protection beyond the directly sprayed leaf surface.

Rapid Feeding Cessation: Flonicamid quickly interferes with feeding behaviour of susceptible sucking pests, helping reduce further crop damage.

Effective Whitefly Management: Provides excellent activity against susceptible whitefly populations, particularly nymphal stages.

Controls Aphids & Jassids: Effective against important sap-sucking pests that can weaken cotton plants.

Thrips Management: Recommended by Bayer for management of thrips in cotton.

Long-Lasting Pest Management: Systemic action helps provide sustained protection when applied according to label recommendations.

2-Hour Rainfastness: Bayer states that Trance becomes rainfast within approximately two hours of application.

IPM Compatible: Suitable for incorporation into an Integrated Pest Management programme when used responsibly.

Cleaner Crop Canopy: Effective sucking-pest management can help maintain healthier leaves and better crop vigour.

How Bayer Trance Works

Bayer Trance combines Flonicamid and Spirotetramat, two insecticides with complementary modes of action.

Spirotetramat – Two-Way Systemic Action

Spirotetramat is an insecticide belonging to IRAC Group 23. It inhibits acetyl-CoA carboxylase, an important enzyme involved in lipid biosynthesis in insects.

By interfering with lipid formation, Spirotetramat affects the growth and development of susceptible sucking insects. Its important characteristic is two-way systemic movement, allowing movement within the plant to help protect different plant parts.

Flonicamid – Rapid Feeding Blocker

Flonicamid belongs to IRAC Group 29. It acts on chordotonal organs involved in insect sensory and feeding functions.

After exposure, susceptible sucking pests rapidly stop feeding, helping reduce additional feeding damage to the cotton crop.

Recommended Crop

Bayer Trance for Cotton

Bayer Trance is specially recommended for cotton, where sucking pests can cause serious damage by removing plant sap from leaves and tender plant tissues.

Whiteflies, aphids, jassids and thrips can reduce plant vigour, affect healthy leaf development and increase stress on the crop. Timely application of Trance helps reduce pest feeding and maintain a cleaner, healthier crop canopy.

Recommended Dosage

Indicative Dose: Approximately 220 ml per acre for cotton.

The exact dose, water volume, application timing and number of sprays should always be followed according to the latest Bayer Trance product label and local agricultural recommendation.

Important: Do not use more than the registered label dose.

Method of Application

Inspect the cotton crop regularly for sucking-pest infestation.

Shake the Bayer Trance container properly before use.

Measure the recommended quantity according to the product label.

Partially fill the spray tank with clean water.

Add the measured quantity of Trance to the spray tank.

Add the remaining required water while maintaining proper agitation.

Mix thoroughly to prepare a uniform spray solution.

Apply as a foliar spray using a suitable agricultural sprayer.

Ensure uniform coverage of the cotton canopy and pest-infested plant surfaces.

Best Time of Application

Regularly monitor the cotton crop for sucking pests.

Apply when pest infestation reaches the locally recommended economic threshold level.

Early intervention helps prevent severe crop damage.

Apply during suitable calm weather conditions.

Avoid spraying during strong winds.

Avoid application immediately before heavy rainfall.

Rainfastness

Bayer states that Trance provides rainfastness within approximately 2 hours after application. This means that under normal conditions the spray deposit becomes more resistant to being washed away after this period.

Heavy rainfall immediately after spraying should still be avoided wherever possible.
