Colben

Professional crop protection with Kolben

Kolben, manufactured by Agrosfera-Trade, is a systemic insecticide and acaricide widely recognized for its efficacy in controlling a broad spectrum of pests. Built on the foundation of acetamiprid (a neonicotinoid), this product addresses the critical needs of modern crop production, offering high reliability in protecting winter crops and orchards.

Key advantages of the systemic approach

The primary strength of Kolben lies in its systemic activity. Once applied via foliar spraying, the active ingredient is absorbed into the plant tissues, providing long-lasting protection against pests that are hard to reach. This is particularly effective for managing threats such as grain flies on barley and wheat, or codling moths on apple trees.

Application details

Kolben is highly versatile in its application. Whether dealing with pests on winter rapeseed, such as flea beetles and blossom beetles, or managing aphids in fruit gardens, it delivers consistent results. The technical specifications of the product include:

• Formulation: Water-soluble powder for easy preparation of the spraying solution.
• Dosage flexibility: Rates range from 0.1 to 0.5 kg/ha, allowing for adjustments based on pest pressure.
• Treatment frequency: 1–2 applications per season are sufficient to maintain crop health.
• Safety: Classified under hazard class 3, ensuring standard handling protocols are sufficient for field operations.

By integrating Kolben into their seasonal protection plans, agronomists can ensure that their crops are guarded during the most vulnerable stages of development, minimizing damage and securing yield potential.
