Promostar

Double impact against pests: the power of Promostar

In intensive agriculture, it is vital to protect crop potential from the very beginning of the vegetation period. The Promostar insecticide leverages a synergy between imidacloprid and lambda-cyhalothrin, providing both an immediate knockdown effect and long-lasting systemic protection. Unlike single-component products, this combination allows growers to control a wide spectrum of insects, including those that are notoriously difficult to eliminate.

Key strengths and mechanism

• Systemic and contact control: Imidacloprid absorbs into the plant tissue creating a protective shield, while lambda-cyhalothrin acts via contact, paralyzing the pest immediately.
• Broad spectrum: Highly effective against both sucking (aphids, thrips, leafhoppers) and chewing insects (cutworms, cereal leaf beetles, flea beetles) on soybeans and winter wheat.
• Formulation stability: The suspension concentrate ensures optimal coverage and adhesion to the leaf surface, which minimizes the risk of wash-off by rain.

Why choose Promostar?

This insecticide is an ideal solution for managing pest outbreaks in soybean and winter wheat crops. It is particularly effective against the Sunn pest and the acacia moth. By utilizing Promostar, farmers can reduce the number of field operations, as a maximum of two applications are sufficient to manage the most common threats to the crop throughout the critical growth stages.

Application guidelines

Due to its high activity and classification, it is essential to follow safety protocols. The pre-harvest interval is 20–30 days, making it an excellent choice for protection during the active vegetative growth phase. To maximize the effectiveness of the systemic components, ensure uniform application and proper coverage of the canopy.
