Logus

Double strike against pests: the efficiency of Logus

Combined insecticides are the modern answer to the problem of pest resistance, where traditional pyrethroids no longer deliver results. Logus by Alfa Smart Agro leverages the power of three active ingredients: emamectin benzoate, alpha-cypermethrin, and avermectins. This synergy allows for the control of insects at various development stages, which is critical for protecting sunflower and rapeseed crops.

Advantages over single-component products

The main strength of this formulation is the combination of contact and systemic action. While the contact component provides an immediate "knockdown effect," the systemic agents penetrate the plant tissues, shielding the crop from within, even in hard-to-reach areas. This makes Logus essential for controlling hidden pests like cutworms or meadow moths.

• Multi-vector protection: the preparation effectively combats a wide range of Lepidoptera, Coleoptera, and cruciferous flea beetles.
• Application flexibility: well-suited for winter rapeseed and sunflower, addressing key seasonal agricultural needs.
• Consistent performance: the suspension concentrate formula ensures uniform leaf coverage and resistance to rain-washoff.

Application and Efficiency

With an application rate of 0.1–0.25 L/ha, Logus provides excellent economic efficiency. It is important to note that the maximum number of treatments is limited to two, with a pre-harvest interval of 30 days. The product is categorized as Hazard Class 3, requiring standard safety precautions when handling agrochemicals.

Who is this product for? Primarily for farming operations in high-pest-pressure regions that face the issue of insect resistance to common, cheaper insecticides. Logus is an investment in yield security, eliminating the need for costly repeated treatments by ensuring maximum efficacy from the very first application.
