Alfex

Efficient Pest Control in Winter Wheat with Alfex

When managing winter wheat crops, pest pressure can escalate quickly, threatening yield potential. Based on alpha-cypermethrin, this insecticide provides a strong contact action, which is essential for rapid knockdown during critical crop growth stages.

Field Application and Handling

Working with this emulsifiable concentrate is straightforward. It mixes well in the sprayer tank and provides excellent coverage when applied during the vegetation period. With a dosage rate of 0.1–0.25 L/ha, it offers a reliable solution for various infestations, including:

• Sunn pest (Eurygaster integriceps);
• Cereal flies;
• Aphids;
• Cereal leaf beetle (Oulema);
• Flea beetles.

Operational Considerations

The product allows for a maximum of two applications per season, which is sufficient to manage pest populations effectively and minimize the risk of resistance. The manufacturing collaboration between Rotam Agrochemical's facilities in Mumbai and Shanghai, overseen by Rotam Agrochemical Europe, ensures consistent quality across batches.

For farm operators, Alfex represents a practical and cost-effective tool.
