Sharpey m.e., (cypermethrin, 250 g/l)

A Proven Solution for Crop Pest Control

The insecticide "Sharpey m.e." is a well-established plant protection product, formulated with 250 g/L of cypermethrin. Produced by "ZAT Firma Avgust" (Vurnary settlement), this contact-action insecticide is widely recognized by farmers for its reliable performance in protecting major field crops, including winter wheat, barley, potatoes, and fodder beets.

Mechanism and Efficacy

As a contact-acting pesticide, Sharpey m.e. provides rapid knockdown results. Once it comes into contact with the pest, the active ingredient interrupts the nervous system, causing immediate paralysis and death. This is particularly valuable for controlling outbreaks of common agricultural pests, such as the Colorado potato beetle, wheat bugs, cereal flies, and various species of aphids and weevils.

Key application features include:

• Application method: Foliar spraying;
• Dosage range: 0.05–0.4 L/ha, providing flexibility based on infestation intensity;
• Versatility: Effective against both leaf-eating and sucking pests.

To ensure safety and efficacy, producers allow for 1–2 treatments per season, with a mandatory waiting period of 20–30 days before harvest to ensure the complete breakdown of the active compound.

Market Positioning

The high concentration of the active ingredient (250 g/L) makes Sharpey m.e. an economical choice for large-scale operations. It reduces storage requirements and logistical overhead while providing the consistent performance expected from a seasoned market player. While it is classified as a Hazard Class 3 chemical, its performance in managing population surges of pests makes it a staple in many integrated pest management (IPM) strategies for cereal and root crops. When timing is critical and an immediate response is required, this formulation provides the stability and control that professional farmers demand.
