FMC Talstar is a broad-spectrum insecticide and acaricide that offers contact and stomach action on pests like bollworms, whiteflies, jassids, and others. The FMC Talstar insecticide works by interfering with the pests’ nervous system, causing paralysis and the eventual death of the pest. The FMC Talstar insecticide offers long-lasting protection even in hot weather as it is heat-stabilized. The Talstar insecticide has a low chemical impact on the environment, making it suitable for Integrated Pest Management (IPM) practices for economic and environmental benefits.
Long Lasting: Talstar insecticide provides a longer residual period, providing long-lasting protection.
Dual Application: FMC Talstar insecticide offers contact and stomach modes of action, ensuring strong protection.
Quick Action: The Talstar insecticide provides rapid knockdown of target pests within hours of application, providing healthier crops.
Heat Stability: FMC Talstar remains effective even at higher temperatures, unlike other insecticides.
IPM Compatible: The Talstar insecticide has a low chemical impact, making it suitable for IPM practices.
Talstar insecticide uses cover both sucking and chewing pests, plus soil-dwelling Termites:
Sucking Pests: Whiteflies, Green Leaf Hopper (GLH), Jassids, Aphids
Boring and Chewing Pests: Bollworms, Stem Borer, Leaf Folder
Soil Pests: Termites — Sugarcane
Registered Crops: Cotton, Rice (Paddy), Sugarcane
The Talstar insecticide dosage per litre of water is 1.5–2 ml per litre for foliar spray across all registered crops — equivalent to 300–400 ml per acre in 200 litres of water.
Crop | Target Pest | Dose Per Acre | Per 15L Pump | Per Litre | PHI |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Cotton | Bollworms, Whiteflies, Jassids | 300–400 ml | 22–30 ml | 1.5–2 ml | 21 days |
Rice / Paddy | Leaf Folder, GLH, Stem Borer | 250–300 ml (500 ml per ha) | 19–22 ml | 1.25–1.5 ml | 14 days |
Sugarcane | Termites | 500 ml (soil drench/spray) | 37 ml | 2.5 ml | 30 days |
Measure the required dose of FMC Talstar as per the crop-wise dose table above.
Add the measured quantity to a sprayer tank half-filled with clean water and mix well before topping up.
Fill the tank with the remaining clean water and agitate thoroughly to form a uniform emulsion before spraying.
Use a hollow cone nozzle for thorough coverage — ensure spray reaches both upper and lower leaf surfaces and the base of stems where Stem Borers and Leaf Folders concentrate.
For Sugarcane termite control, apply Talstar insecticide as a directed spray or soil drench at the base of the crop near the root zone.
Apply at the first sign of pest activity or at the Economic Threshold Level for the target pest.
Spray during early morning or late evening — FMC Talstar is toxic to bees, so avoid spraying during active bee foraging hours.
Rinse all sprayer equipment thoroughly with clean water after every use.
Apply Talstar insecticide in the early morning or late evening. For Rice Leaf Folder and GLH, spray at the active tillering stage when pest populations first cross the Economic Threshold Level. For Cotton Bollworm, apply at the first sign of egg hatching or early larval feeding.
Frequency of Application: Apply at the first sign of pest infestation. FMC Talstar provides up to 30 days of residual control — repeat only when a new pest flush crosses the Economic Threshold Level. Do not exceed 2–3 applications per season — always rotate with insecticides from different IRAC groups after 2 consecutive applications.
Re-Entry Period: Do not enter treated fields for at least 24 hours after spraying without proper protective gear.
Tank-Mix Compatibility: Talstar Insecticide is compatible with most insecticides and fungicides. Avoid mixing with strongly alkaline products. Always perform a jar test before mixing with unfamiliar inputs.
Wear gloves, goggles, and a face mask before handling or spraying FMC Talstar.
Do not eat, drink, or smoke during mixing or application.
Avoid direct contact with skin and eyes — rinse immediately with clean water for 15 minutes if contact occurs.
Highly toxic to bees and aquatic organisms — do not spray near beehives, water bodies, fish ponds, or rivers.
Keep children, pets, and livestock away from treated fields for at least 24 hours.
Wash all exposed skin thoroughly with soap and water after every spray session.
Triple rinse empty containers, puncture, and dispose of per local waste guidelines.
