Overview

LESENTA® 80 WG is a premium insecticide from Bayer CropScience formulated with Imidacloprid 40% + Fipronil 40% w/w WG.

The product combines two insecticidal chemistries with complementary modes of action. Imidacloprid belongs to the neonicotinoid group and acts on nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, while Fipronil belongs to the phenylpyrazole group and interferes with GABA-regulated chloride channels.

This combination provides systemic, contact and ingestion activity and is particularly valuable for managing soil-dwelling pests such as white grubs.

Product Highlights

The 40 g and 100 g pack sizes are currently listed by Indian agricultural retailers, while Bayer's historical registration information confirms LESENTA 80 WG's use against white grub in sugarcane.

About the Product

LESENTA® 80 WG combines Imidacloprid and Fipronil to provide complementary insect control.

Imidacloprid acts on the insect nervous system through nicotinic acetylcholine receptors and provides systemic activity. Fipronil interferes with GABA-gated chloride channels and provides contact and ingestion toxicity.

The combination is particularly useful where persistent soil insect pests cause damage to plant roots. LESENTA was registered by Bayer as a specialist product for white grub management in sugarcane.

Recommended Crops & Target Pest

Registered Crop

Sugarcane

Target Pest

White Grub

White grubs are soil-dwelling larvae that feed on crop roots and can cause serious root damage, poor crop establishment, yellowing, wilting and yield loss.

Bayer's product information specifically identifies LESENTA 80 WG for white grub control in sugarcane.

Application Guidelines

Application Method

LESENTA 80 WG is intended for soil application for the registered sugarcane/white-grub use.

Depending on the approved application method, the granules may be applied to the soil/root zone as directed on the product label.

Recommended Dosage

Use the crop-specific dosage printed on the current Bayer LESENTA 80 WG label.

Do not use a generic Fipronil or Imidacloprid dose because the correct rate depends on the registered crop, pest, application method and formulation.

Best Application Stage

Apply according to the recommended crop stage and pest-management schedule, particularly when white-grub infestation is expected or detected.

For soil pests, ensure the product reaches the relevant root-zone/soil environment.

Mode of Action

LESENTA provides two complementary modes of action:

Imidacloprid – IRAC Group 4A

Imidacloprid acts on nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) in the insect nervous system. This disrupts normal nerve transmission, leading to insect paralysis and death.

Fipronil – IRAC Group 2B

Fipronil interferes with GABA-gated chloride channels in the insect nervous system. This causes abnormal nerve excitation, paralysis and eventual death.

The combination therefore provides complementary insecticidal activity through different neurological targets.
