Fortran EC: Systemic Control of Agricultural Pests

The insecticide "Fortran, EC" (dimethoate 400 g/l), manufactured by Sunrise Chemicals Co. Ltd. (Shanghai, China), is a high-performance systemic solution designed to safeguard crops against a broad spectrum of pests. By integrating advanced Chinese formulation standards, this product serves as a reliable tool for professional agronomists managing cereal grains, root crops, and orchards.

Systemic Efficacy

The core strength of Fortran lies in its active ingredient, dimethoate, which is absorbed by the plant tissue and distributed systemically. This action ensures that the insecticide targets not only surface-feeding pests but also those hidden within the plant’s internal structures. Whether dealing with wheat pests like the Sunn pest or complex orchard threats like mites and leafrollers, Fortran provides consistent suppression.

Application and Field Management

Fortran is highly versatile, with registered applications spanning sugar beets, winter wheat, barley, peas, apples, and grapes. Key operational parameters include:

• Application Method: Foliar spraying during the vegetation period.
• Flexibility: Dosage rates between 0.5–1.5 L/ha depending on the pest pressure level.
• Protocol: 1–2 treatments per season with a pre-harvest interval of 20–40 days.

As a 2nd-class hazard product, Fortran demands meticulous adherence to safety protocols during application. Distributed by Himagromarketing, the product is well-supported with technical guidelines, ensuring that users can achieve optimal efficacy while maintaining crop quality standards. Its ability to combat both sucking and chewing insects makes it a cornerstone in integrated pest management programs.
