Imisid BT

Protecting the yield from day one: The Imisid BT experience

When dealing with winter crops and corn, the biggest headache for an agronomist is the early-season pest pressure. Wireworms, ground beetles, and cereal flies can jeopardize the entire yield potential before the crop even produces its second leaf.

Systemic protection in practice

The core of this product is imidacloprid, which provides both systemic and contact action. Unlike basic contact insecticides, this flowable suspension concentrate is taken up by the germinating plant, protecting not just the seed coat but the emerging shoot itself. For the operator, the formulation is quite user-friendly: it mixes well in the tank, doesn't clog the nozzles of treatment equipment, and provides a uniform coating without excessive dust.

Operational nuances

• Efficiency and Application: The stable concentration of the active ingredient allows for precise dosage, avoiding product waste and ensuring cost-effectiveness per hectare.
• Versatility: Use it across wheat (winter and spring), barley, and corn. Having one reliable product for multiple crops significantly simplifies inventory management.
• Pest Control: It effectively manages aphids, leafhoppers, and flea beetles, which are common vectors for viral diseases in the early stages of growth.

As a reminder, 'Imisid BT' is a Class 3 hazard substance. When handling the product or running seed treatment machines, standard personal protective equipment (PPE) such as respirators and gloves is mandatory. The product shows no signs of phytotoxicity when applied according to the label, making it a reliable tool for any agronomist looking for consistent field results.
