Duraban Ultra

A robust solution for orchard and hop protection

Dursaban Ultra is a professional insecto-acaricide based on chlorpyrifos, designed for scenarios where high-pressure pest infestations require an immediate and decisive response. Known for its strong contact action, this formulation is highly effective at managing both chewing and sucking pests, making it a staple in the protection programs of fruit and hop producers.

Strategic applications in the field

Agronomists rely on Dursaban Ultra for specific production goals during the growing season:

• Targeting armored pests: Due to its vapor and contact activity, it is particularly effective against scale insects and false scale insects that are otherwise difficult to reach with systemic products.
• Orchard health management: It provides a critical shield against codling moths and leafrollers, which are major threats to apple crop quality and yield.
• Mite control: Beyond insects, Dursaban Ultra acts as an acaricide, helping to suppress mite populations that proliferate in hot, dry conditions.
• Hop cultivation: The product is highly effective in managing aphid populations, ensuring the vegetative vigor of hop plants.

Technical specifications and best practices

The product is provided as an emulsifiable concentrate, ensuring ease of mixing and application. The recommended dosage rate is 1–2 liters per hectare, depending on the pest density and crop stage. As a Class 2 hazardous substance, strict adherence to safety protocols and protective equipment is required during application. For optimal management and resistance prevention, the number of applications is limited to 1–2 per season. Producers must pay close attention to the pre-harvest interval (PHI), which is 30–40 days, to ensure that residue levels are well within the required safety standards for harvested crops.
