Syngenta Alika – Dual-Action Insecticide for Superior Pest Control

Syngenta Alika is a broad-spectrum, dual-mode insecticide formulated to deliver quick knockdown and long-lasting protection against a wide variety of sucking and chewing pests. Combining Thiamethoxam and Lambda-cyhalothrin, Alika is an ideal choice for integrated pest management (IPM) programs, helping farmers achieve higher yields with healthier crops.

Key Characteristics of Syngenta Alika

• Active Ingredients:

  • Thiamethoxam 12.6%

  • Lambda-cyhalothrin 9.5%

• Formulation: ZC (Mixture of CS & SC formulations)

• Mode of Entry: Contact and Systemic

• Chemical Class:

  • Thiamethoxam – Neonicotinoid

  • Lambda-cyhalothrin – Synthetic Pyrethroid

• Mode of Action:

  • Thiamethoxam interferes with the insect nervous system by binding to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors.

  • Lambda-cyhalothrin penetrates the insect cuticle and disrupts nerve conduction by keeping sodium channels open, leading to paralysis and death.

How Syngenta Alika Works

Alika delivers a dual-action punch through:

• Fast Knockdown: Rapid kill of existing pest population.

• Systemic Protection: Thiamethoxam travels within the plant, protecting new growth.

• Translaminar Activity: Controls pests on both surfaces of leaves.

• Residual Action: Provides lasting protection against multiple pest life stages.
