PRODUCT INFORMATION
Lustre® 120SC is used to control Insects in Tree and Vine Fruit, Pasture, Onions and Fodder Brassicas. Lustre® 120SC enters the insect primarily through contact and ingestion. Contact occurs by direct application or by insect movement on a treated surface. Ingestion occurs from feeding on treated surfaces. Following entry, Lustre® 120SC acts on a unique neuro-receptor site of the insect. Symptoms appear almost immediately and complete mortality occurs within a few hours. Lustre® 120SC is not systemic but does have translaminar activity. Lustre® 120SC is Bio-Gro® Certified.
Active Ingredient:
Contains 120g/L Spinosad in the form of a Suspension Concentrate
What It Controls:
Strong on Caterpillar (Lepidoptera) Pests, Including:
- Diamondback Moth.
- White Butterfly.
- Tomato Fruitworm.
- Potato Tuber Moth.
Main Role:
- Caterpillar control in Horticulture Crops.
Where It’s Used:
- Fruit Crops.
- Grapes (Vines).
- Vegetables.
- Fodder Brassicas.
How It Works: (Key Strength).
- Enters insect via Contact + Ingestion acts on a unique nerve receptor site.
Causes:
- Rapid feeding stop.
- Death within hours.
Important:
- Not fully systemic.
- Has translaminar activity (moves into leaf tissue).
Application Principles:
Target:
- Early larval stages (small Caterpillars).
Spray at:
- First sign of infestation.
Repeat:
- Every 14–21 days if needed.
- Coverage is critical (especially foliage where larvae feed).
Rates & limits: (Important).
Typical Max:
- Up to 4 applications per crop per season.
Example Limits:
- Brassicas ~200 mL/ha.
- Grapes/Vegetables up to ~400 mL/ha.
- Always rotate if more sprays are needed.
Bee & IPM Compatibility:
- Relatively IPM-friendly.
- Safe for Bees After spray dries (~3 hours).
But:
- Avoid spraying when bees are actively foraging.
Withholding Periods: (examples).
- Vegetables / Tomatoes ~ 3 days.
- Potatoes ~ 7 days.
- Citrus ~ 14 days.
- Grapes ~ 42 days.
Safety & Environmental:
Causes:
- Eye irritation.
- Possible organ effects with repeated exposure.
- Very toxic to aquatic life.
Key Precautions:
- Do not spray near waterways.
- Avoid drift.
- Wear PPE.
Resistance Management:

Together:
- You cover two completely different Pest Groups.
Bottom Line:
- Lustre® 120SC: = highly effective Caterpillar Insecticide.
Best Used:
- Early in infestations.
- In rotation programmes.
Big Strengths:
- Fast action.
- IPM compatibility.
Main Limitation:
