Kaizer

Systemic Protection for Early Growth Stages

"Kaiser" by Nertus is a specialized systemic insecticide seed treatment based on thiamethoxam, engineered to provide preemptive protection against a wide spectrum of soil-dwelling and early-season pests. The product's primary strength lies in its systemic activity: the active ingredient is absorbed by the seed and translocated throughout the emerging seedling, establishing an internal protective shield against pests such as wireworms, cereal flies, and flea beetles.

Technical Specifications and Formulation

Thiamethoxam, a neonicotinoid, is characterized by high solubility and rapid acropetal movement within the plant tissue. Unlike contact insecticides, Kaiser offers a prolonged protective window because it moves upward from the root system as the plant grows, effectively shielding the vital parts of the sprout during the critical initial weeks of vegetation.

• Flowable Concentrate Suspension (FCS): The formulation ensures excellent adhesion to the seed coat. This technology minimizes dust drift during the treating process and ensures uniform coverage, which is essential for consistent protection of every seed.
• Dosage Flexibility: With an application rate of 0.5 to 1.0 L/ha, growers can adjust the treatment intensity based on the pest pressure in specific regions, making it a versatile tool for wheat, rapeseed, maize, and sunflower production.
• Broad Spectrum Control: Kaiser is specifically targeted against destructive pests like wireworms, cereal beetles (Zabrus tenebrioides), and various species of flies (Swedish fly), ensuring that the initial stand density remains optimal.

Operational Best Practices

To maximize the efficacy of Kaiser, seed quality is paramount. It is recommended to use dust-free, clean seeds to ensure the maximum possible adhesion of the formulation. Due to its systemic nature, the product remains effective under various soil moisture conditions. As a Class 3 hazard level agent, it is a stable and manageable solution for professional farming, provided the prescribed application rates are followed to ensure proper coverage of the seed surface.
