Tata Gateway GR is a systemic granular insecticide that is effective against pests like yellow stem borer, leaf folder, and others. This insecticide works by overstimulating muscle receptors, causing an unregulated release of calcium, leading to immediate feeding cessation, muscle paralysis, and death. The Tata Gateway GR insecticide offers long-lasting protection with a special resistance-breaking formula, making it one of the best insect crop remedies for paddy and sugarcane crops.
Key Features and Benefits of Gateway GR Insecticide:
Systemic Action: Tata Gateway GR insecticide is absorbed through crop roots and moves systemically inside the plant for complete coverage.
Resistance-Breaking: Gateway GR insecticide works through a completely different biological mechanism, effective against pests that have developed resistance.
Long Lasting: A single broadcast of Tata Gateway GR provides 3 to 4 weeks of sustained protection, reducing the need for frequent application.
High Compatibility: Tata Gateway GR insecticide can be mixed with commonly used fertilizers, providing better results for effective yields.
Targeted Protection: The Gateway GR insecticide offers effective protection to Rice and Sugarcane, ensuring healthy crops.
Gateway GR Insecticide Uses — Target Pests and Crops:
Gateway GR Insecticide Uses are focused on Lepidopteran borers in two primary crops:
Paddy / Rice: Yellow Stem Borer (Scirpophaga incertulas) — causing Dead Heart at tillering and White Ear at panicle stage; Leaf Folder (Cnaphalocrocis medinalis)
Sugarcane: Early Shoot Borer (Chilo infuscatellus), Top Borer (Scirpophaga excerptalis)
Registered Crops: Paddy (Rice) and Sugarcane
Tata Gateway GR Dose — Recommended Dose:
The Gateway GR Insecticide Dose Per Litre does not apply since this is a dry granular broadcast product and is not dissolved in water. The dose is measured in kilograms per acre and broadcast directly over the crop field.
Crop | Target Pest | Dose Per Acre | Application Method | Timing |
Paddy / Rice | Yellow Stem Borer, Leaf Folder | 4 kg | Broadcast over standing water / moist soil | At active tillering — 20–25 DAS |
Sugarcane | Early Shoot Borer, Top Borer | 7.5 kg | Broadcast in the crop inter-row zone | At early growth stage — 30–45 DAS |
How To Use Tata Gateway GR Insecticide:
Measure 4 kg of Tata Gateway GR per acre for Paddy, or 7.5 kg per acre for Sugarcane — using a clean weighing scale for accurate measurement.
Ensure the paddy field has 3–5 cm of standing water before broadcasting — water in the field helps the granules dissolve, and the active ingredient reach the root zone uniformly.
Broadcast the Gateway GR insecticide granules evenly across the entire field by hand — divide the dose into small portions and walk the field systematically for complete coverage.
For Sugarcane, broadcast the granules into the inter-row zone where the crop roots can absorb the product after the next irrigation or rainfall.
If mixing with fertilizer, blend Tata Gateway GR granules with Urea or DAP before spreading — this helps distribute the dose evenly across a larger area.
Do not apply if heavy rainfall is expected immediately after broadcasting — rain can carry the granules to the field border before the crop roots can absorb the active ingredient.
Maintain standing water in the Paddy field for at least 5–7 days after application for best root absorption and pest control.
Wear gloves and a dust mask while measuring and broadcasting Gateway GR insecticide — avoid inhaling granule dust during application.
Best Time to Apply:
Apply Tata Gateway GR at the early infestation stage — or as a preventive treatment at the active tillering stage (20–25 days after sowing) in Paddy and at the early growth stage (30–45 days after sowing) in Sugarcane. Early application prevents borers from entering the stem and causing yield loss.
Frequency of Application and Re-Entry Period:
Frequency of Application: One well-timed application provides 21–30 days of protection. Repeat only if new pest pressure is observed after the residual period. Do not exceed 2 applications per season — rotate Gateway GR insecticide with products from different IRAC groups in subsequent seasons.
Re-Entry Period: No strict re-entry period given the broadcast granular application method — wait for the granule dust to settle fully before re-entering the field. Standard protective precautions apply.
Compatibility: Tata Gateway GR can be dry-mixed with Urea and DAP for broadcast. Do not dissolve in spray water — Gateway GR insecticide is not a sprayable product.
Safety Precautions and Handling:
Wear gloves and a dust mask while measuring and broadcasting Tata Gateway GR.
Do not inhale granule dust — keep face away from the granule bags during pouring.
Do not eat, drink, or smoke while handling Gateway GR insecticide.
Keep Tata Gateway GR away from children, animals, water sources, and food items.
Do not allow granule-treated paddy field water to drain directly into fish ponds or natural water bodies — Chlorantraniliprole can affect aquatic organisms.
For agricultural use only. Dispose of empty bags per local waste guidelines.
