Bombarrier Duo

A double strike against pests: how "Bombardier Duo" works

When pest pressure hits your fields, you don't have time for guesswork. "Bombardier Duo" from Defenda is a reliable field-tested solution designed to stop infestations early by combining a fast-acting knock-down effect with long-term systemic protection.

Unlike single-action products, this insecticide integrates two active ingredients: imidacloprid and lambda-cyhalothrin. This synergy creates a powerful effect: the contact component instantly paralyzes insects on the surface, while the systemic imidacloprid is absorbed into the plant tissues. This is crucial for controlling pests that hide in leaf axils or stems where traditional spraying might miss.

Strengths and considerations

• Comprehensive coverage: Effective against a wide spectrum of pests including beetles, flea beetles, cutworms, and the European corn borer.
• Broad application: Suitable for a variety of crops, from sugar beet to winter wheat, soybeans, and corn.
• Synergistic action: Combines the "quick start" of contact chemistry with the lasting systemic protection of plant regrowth.
• Safety profile: Classified as Hazard Class 3, allowing for safe handling when following proper protocols and regulations.

The main challenge with this product is its reliance on thorough coverage; as with all contact insecticides, it is essential to ensure a uniform spray to avoid "blind spots." Furthermore, it is not a specialized acaricide, so if you are dealing with a severe mite outbreak, you may need to add a specialized product to your tank mix.

Who is this for?

"Bombardier Duo" is the perfect choice for professional farmers and agricultural operations looking to optimize field passes. With up to two applications allowed per season, it serves as a reliable workhorse in your protection strategy, covering the majority of pest-related challenges without the need to juggle multiple specialized products.
