Gothica

Double-Action Pest Protection for Cereals

The «Gotika» plant protection product by Nertus is a specialized solution designed to combat the most persistent pests affecting cereal crops. By combining systemic and contact mechanisms, this insecticide-acaricide provides both immediate knockdown results and long-term residual protection, making it an essential component of modern integrated pest management strategies.

Technical Specifications and Mechanisms

The product's efficacy is driven by its two-component formulation: Thiamethoxam and Lambda-cyhalothrin. Thiamethoxam, a neonicotinoid, provides systemic protection by circulating within the plant's vascular system, ensuring that even newly emerged leaves remain protected. Lambda-cyhalothrin, a synthetic pyrethroid, delivers rapid contact action, paralyzing the nervous system of pests upon contact.

• Target Crops: Winter wheat, winter barley, and spring wheat.
• Pest Spectrum: Specifically targets cereal leaf beetles, sunn pests (Eurygaster integriceps), aphids, thrips, and leafhoppers.
• Application Method: Ground spraying of crops during the onset of pest colonization.

«Gotika» is formulated as a concentrated suspension, making it highly compatible with standard application equipment. With a dosage range of 0.18–0.4 L/ha, it offers flexibility to adjust protection intensity based on field conditions and pest density.

Application Guidelines

To maximize agronomic outcomes, the manufacturer recommends a maximum of two applications per season. Adhering to the 30-day pre-harvest interval (PHI) is critical to ensure residue-free grain production. Classified under hazard class 3, the product is suitable for standard professional agricultural use when following safety protocols. «Gotika» has built a reputation for consistency and reliability, helping farmers protect potential yields against significant biotic stress during the critical phases of crop development.
