Kassent 400

Why choose a combination of systemic and contact action

In intensive farming, where fields are attacked by both hidden and surface pests simultaneously, choosing the right insecticide is a critical factor for profitability. “Kassent 400” by TerraVita Ukraine addresses this need through the synergy of two active ingredients: imidacloprid and lambda-cyhalothrin. This combination not only provides a “knockdown” effect for adult pests but also protects the newly growing parts of the plant from within.

Field Application Scenarios

Practical application shows the product's effectiveness during key growth stages of grain and industrial crops:

• Winter Wheat: The main pressure comes from sunn pests, cereal leaf beetles, and aphids. The systemic component guarantees protection even during periods of rapid crop growth, when purely contact-based products lose effectiveness.
• Winter Rapeseed: During the critical flowering stage, the crop is vulnerable to pollen beetles and flea beetles. The product stops pest proliferation, preventing critical yield losses at the pod-setting stage.
• Corn: Controlling the European corn borer requires precise timing during the pest's activity window. Thanks to the emulsifiable concentrate formulation, the product adheres perfectly to the leaf surface, ensuring prolonged residual control.

Technical Insights for Agronomists

To achieve maximum results, strictly follow the guidelines: the application rate ranges from 0.5 to 1.0 L/ha depending on the pest infestation level. “Kassent 400” is designed for up to two full applications per season. It is crucial to adhere to the pre-harvest interval: 20 to 30 days must pass before harvesting. This makes it an optimal tool for use during active vegetation, when it is necessary to suppress pest hotspots quickly and ensure protection for young tissues for the following 2–3 weeks.
