Lepidocid

Field Application and Performance

The aqueous emulsion form is incredibly easy to work with. Because it is a contact-type insecticide, the quality of coverage is paramount.

• Versatility: It handles a wide range of pests, including loopers, pod borers, and stem borers, making it effective for diverse crops from sunflowers and corn to apples and tomatoes.
• Safety First: With a hazard class of 4, it provides peace of mind. There are no stringent waiting periods, which is vital when spraying near harvest time.
• Action Speed: While it acts differently than aggressive neurotoxins, the result is reliable—pests stop feeding within hours of contact, preserving the plant canopy effectively.

In practice, the key to success is timing. Treating at the early larval stages provides the best return on investment. It’s an essential tool for any grower looking to balance yield protection with sustainable farming practices.
