Civanto Prime 200 SL

Next-Generation Pest Control

Sivanto Prime 200 SL, produced by Bayer AG, Germany; Bayer SAS, France, offers a advanced solution for agronomists facing the challenge of resistant pest populations. At its core is flupyradifurone, a unique active ingredient that acts on nicotinic acetylcholine receptors via a novel mode of action, distinguishing it from conventional neonicotinoids. This makes it an essential tool for rotation strategies to manage resistance effectively.

Versatility Across Crops

The product is engineered for seamless integration into protection programs for both vegetable and orchard crops. Its systemic properties ensure that the active ingredient is translocated throughout the plant tissue, providing robust defense even in areas not directly reached by the spray droplets.

• Vegetable Production: Exceptional control of whiteflies, aphids, and thrips on tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, cucumbers, and cabbage, particularly effective in greenhouses.
• Orchards and Vineyards: Reliable suppression of scale insects, mealybugs, and leafhoppers, helping to maintain tree health and fruit quality.

Practical Application for Farming

Formulated as a soluble concentrate (SL/nano-emulsion), the product ensures superior stability in the spray tank and excellent adhesion to leaf surfaces. The recommended application rate is 0.5 to 1.0 liters per hectare. With the allowance of up to 3 applications per season, growers gain the flexibility needed to address pest pressure at various developmental stages of the crop.

The speed of action is a critical advantage for commercial production: pests cease feeding within minutes of ingestion or contact, which is vital for preventing the transmission of viral diseases vectored by aphids and whiteflies. By choosing this solution, growers ensure that their crops remain protected and free from physical damage throughout the growing season.
