Advanced Pest Management: The «Speaker» Insecticide

The «Speaker» insecticide has established itself as a reliable solution for cereal crop protection, specifically targeting winter wheat and barley. Its core strength lies in its dual-active composition—Dimethoate and Beta-cypermethrin. This combination merges systemic action with a rapid "knock-down" effect, ensuring that both surface-feeding and internal-feeding pests are neutralized effectively.

Field Application and Targeted Pests

Farmers utilize this product to combat a wide range of common threats, including the red-blue leaf beetle (Lema melanopus), the sunn pest (Eurygaster integriceps), cereal flies, aphids, and thrips. By leveraging two different chemical classes, the product significantly lowers the risk of pest resistance, which is essential for sustainable crop management strategies over multiple seasons.
