Asterix 700

Synergistic Active Ingredients

The formulation of "Asterix 700" is based on a combination of imidacloprid, metamitron, and triazines. This composition makes the product a versatile tool, combining the properties of a non-selective systemic herbicide with advanced insecticidal protection. Metamitron and triazines work by blocking photosynthesis in weeds, while imidacloprid provides a potent systemic effect against a wide range of pests, including Colorado potato beetles, wireworms, aphids, and cereal flies.

Technical Application Details

The product is supplied as a water-soluble concentrate, which ensures easy preparation of the working solution and optimal adhesion to leaf surfaces. It is intended for post-emergence application, targeting actively growing parts of the plants. The application rate ranges from 1.0 to 2.0 L/ha, depending on the level of weed infestation and phytosanitary conditions in the field.

Key Operational Advantages

• Versatility: Highly effective on fodder beets, winter wheat, barley, and potato crops.
• Weed Control: Actively targets hard-to-eradicate species, including lamb's quarters (Chenopodium album).
• Insect Protection: Reliably manages threats from cereal beetles, thrips, flea beetles, and other sucking and chewing insects.
• Regulations: Up to 3 treatments per season are allowed, adhering to hazard class 3 protocols.

Due to its systemic mode of action, the active ingredients penetrate plant tissues rapidly, reducing sensitivity to weather fluctuations immediately following application. As a desiccant, Asterix 700 facilitates uniform crop ripening, streamlining the harvesting process and improving overall operational efficiency.
