Rancho

Systemic Protection for Cereals by Khimagromarketing

The insecticide "Rancho" is a solution for agricultural operations focused on robust crop protection for winter and spring wheat and barley during the early stages of development. Its core function is to control a complex of pests that threaten seedling emergence and early tillering. By utilizing the systemic properties of clothianidin, the product is absorbed by the plant, providing internal protection—essential for targeting hidden pests.

When to Use "Rancho"

Agronomists employ "Rancho" for preventive and curative treatment during periods of high pest pressure:

• Ground beetles (Zabrus): A major threat to winter crops capable of causing severe thinning of stands.
• Cereal flies and flea beetles: These often strike during the most vulnerable seedling phase.
• Cereal leaf beetle (Oulema): Controls mechanical damage to leaves, preserving photosynthetic efficiency.

The product comes as a suspension concentrate, simplifying the preparation of tank mixes. Application rates range from 0.5 to 1.0 L/ha, depending on the phytosanitary conditions of the field. As a Class 3 hazard product, it is manageable for spray operators provided standard safety protocols are strictly followed.

Technical Advantages

The systemic nature of the product ensures a prolonged effect. Unlike contact-based insecticides, "Rancho" is resistant to being washed away by precipitation once the solution dries on the leaf surface. It is important to note that the product is approved for a maximum of one application per season. This makes it an excellent choice for anti-resistance management programs when rotated with other chemical classes.
