Contador Maxi

Reliable crop protection: Working with Contador Maxi

When heading out for the sowing season, the primary objective is to ensure even germination without any patches caused by pests. The imidacloprid content acts as a powerful shield: once it penetrates the germinating seed, the preparation spreads throughout the plant, leaving no chance for wireworms, cutworms, or the cereal leaf beetle.

Application and Dosage Insights

Depending on the predicted pest pressure, the application rate varies from 0.5 to 4.0 L/t. This allows you to avoid overspending when the threat is low, while providing maximum protection in heavily infested soils. The formulation—a flowable suspension concentrate—is stable: it doesn’t produce dust during tank mixing, avoids clogging nozzles of seed treaters, and adheres well to the seed coat without shedding during the hopper filling process.

• Efficiency: It handles early-season pests effectively: from cruciferous flea beetles on rapeseed to cereal flies on corn.
• Systemic Action: Seedlings are protected from the inside out, which is critical during a long, cool spring when early plant development is slow.
• Convenience: Classified as Hazard Class 3, it requires standard safety precautions, making it much easier to handle than highly toxic alternatives.

Contador Maxi requires thorough mixing with water. If you follow the dosage rates and calibrate your equipment properly, the seeds come out looking like they’ve been 'glazed,' and the field emerges even, without gaps. In today’s market, where the cost of a sowing error is too high, Nertus delivers the consistent quality that allows an agronomist to sleep soundly until the first sprouts appear.
