Rallis Summit (Spinetoram 11.7% SC) – Product Overview
Rallis Summit is a world-class, advanced insecticide containing Spinetoram 11.7% SC. Derived from the fermentation of a naturally occurring soil bacterium (Saccharopolyspora spinosa), it belongs to the Spinosyn class of chemistry. Summit is widely recognized for providing exceptional control over tough-to-kill pests like Thrips and various caterpillars, combining the safety of a biological product with the "knockdown" power of a synthetic chemical.
Key Features & Mode of Action
Dual Mode of Action: It provides rapid contact kill and powerful stomach action when pests ingest the treated leaf.
Targeted Nervous System Impact: It works by disrupting the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors and GABA receptors in insects, leading to involuntary muscle contractions, paralysis, and death.
Translaminar Activity: Summit moves quickly through the leaf surface to the underside, creating a reservoir of protection that kills pests hiding where traditional sprays can't reach.
Fast Feeding Cessation: Pests stop feeding within minutes of exposure, ensuring that crop damage is halted almost immediately.
Recommended Uses on Various Crops
Summit is a specialist for high-value crops where quality and appearance are critical.

Key Benefits
Superior Thrips Control: It is considered one of the most effective solutions globally for managing Thrips, which are often resistant to other insecticides.
Long-Lasting Protection: Provides a long duration of control (up to 14 days), reducing the frequency of applications.
Low Environmental Impact: Because of its unique origin, it has a favorable profile for beneficial insects, pollinators, and the environment when used as directed.
Weather Stability: It is highly rain-fast; once the spray dries on the leaf, it is not easily washed away by rain.
Resistance Management: An excellent tool for rotating with other chemistries (like Rilon or Clasto) to prevent pests from building up resistance.
Application & Safety Guidelines
Spray Timing: For best results, apply at the early larval stages or when Thrips first appear. In Maize, ensure the spray reaches the "whorl" where Fall Armyworm resides.
Water Volume: Use 150–200 liters of water per acre to ensure uniform and thorough coverage of all plant parts.
Mixing: Shake the bottle well before use. The Suspension Concentrate (SC) formulation mixes easily with water.
Safety: Always wear protective clothing, gloves, and a mask. Store in a cool, dry place away from food and children.
