NOMINAL, V.R.G., (TIAMETOXAM, 250 G/KG)

Systemic pest control: Why Nominal is the choice for your orchard

When pests like aphids, scale insects, or apple blossom weevils invade your orchard, time is of the essence. Nominal (V.R.G.), based on Thiamethoxam 250 g/kg, is designed for growers who need a reliable, systemic solution. Unlike contact-only sprays, this formulation moves through the plant tissues, offering protection that lasts longer and reaches the areas that are often missed during spraying.

Field performance and application

From an operator's perspective, Nominal is highly practical. The water-dispersible granules dissolve quickly in the tank, preventing nozzle clogging and ensuring a consistent mixture throughout the application. With a recommended application rate of 0.14–0.15 kg/ha, it is a cost-effective solution for apple growers who need to manage pest outbreaks within the limits of two treatments per season.

• Systemic action: The active ingredient is absorbed into the tree's vascular system, providing long-lasting protection against internal and surface-feeding insects.
• Versatility: Effective against a wide range of pests, including aphids, apple suckers (psylla), and scale insects.
• User-friendly: Classified under hazard class 3, which is standard for intensive orchard management, ensuring safety when handled correctly.

Managing the pre-harvest interval is crucial. With a requirement of 14–30 days between the last treatment and harvest, you can effectively time your operations to ensure a clean, residue-free crop. Since the product is produced by Sunrise Chemicals Co. Ltd., you get a consistent, high-quality formulation that minimizes maintenance issues in your equipment, allowing you to focus on managing the orchard rather than worrying about product precipitation or equipment downtime.
