Sidoprid

Reliable start for crops: Why choose Sidoprid

For any farmer, it is critical that investment in high-quality seeds is not lost to soil-borne pests before emergence. Sidoprid from the Israeli giant ADAMA is a time-tested tool that turns a seed into an impregnable fortress. Unlike simple contact insecticides, this product works systematically, creating a protective barrier around the seedling that lasts through the most vulnerable weeks of crop development.

Technological advantage

The active ingredient, imidacloprid, in the suspension concentrate formulation provides a dual effect:

• Contact action: instantly suppresses the activity of pests attempting to damage the seed coat.
• Systemic action: penetrates plant tissues, providing long-term protection for young shoots against sucking insects (aphids, leafhoppers) and soil pests.

This makes Sidoprid an optimal choice for farms utilizing intensive technologies for rapeseed, sunflower, and cereal crops. A single application is sufficient to neutralize threats from wireworms, flea beetles, cereal ground beetles, and weevils.

Application economics

The product demonstrates excellent adhesion, which minimizes seed treatment losses. Application rates from 0.5 to 1.0 l/t allow for a flexible approach to protection depending on the field's phytosanitary state. It is important to remember that Sidoprid is classified as a Class 2 hazard, requiring strict safety measures when operating seed treatment machinery.

Strengths: high mobility within the plant, extended protection period (up to 45 days), and no phytotoxicity when dosages are followed. Weakness: requires strict management regarding pollinators during the flowering period, which is standard for neonicotinoids.
