Acentam 200

Protecting Apple Orchards with Vitagro's «Ацентам 200»

In modern industrial fruit growing, managing pests requires solutions that combine rapid knockdown with prolonged protective residual action. «Ацентам 200» (Acentam 200) from the Vitagro Group is a systemic and contact insecticide specifically formulated for apple orchard health. Based on acetamiprid, a neonicotinoid, this product is designed to maintain efficacy even under varying environmental conditions, making it a staple for commercial growers.

Mechanism and Key Benefits

The primary advantage of «Ацентам 200» is its systemic uptake, allowing the active ingredient to move through plant tissues. This creates a persistent barrier against leaf-feeding and sucking pests, reaching them even in dense foliage where contact sprays might fail. Formulated as water-soluble granules, the product is easy to mix, ensuring accurate dosage and safe handling during the spraying process.

Target Pests and Application

This insecticide is tailored for apple tree protection and offers robust control against major threats, including:

• Apple blossom weevil (Anthonomus pomorum)
• Leafrollers
• Codling moth
• Various aphid species

With an application rate ranging from 0.5 to 1.0 L/ha, growers can adjust their strategy based on the infestation pressure. For optimal results, up to two treatments during the growing season are permitted. Because of its systemic nature, «Ацентам 200» serves as a crucial component in integrated pest management (IPM) and anti-resistance programs, helping orchardists preserve both yield quality and tree vigor throughout the harvest cycle.
