Sufron

When fields are under attack by a complex range of pests—from stealthy weevils to voracious meadow moths—agronomists require a heavy-duty solution. The Sufron insecto-acaricide, manufactured by the 'Factory of Agrochemicals' (Cherkasy, Ukraine), serves as exactly that type of strategic tool. Its efficacy relies on the synergy between two classic but highly potent active ingredients: chlorpyrifos and cypermethrin.

Why this combination excels

Unlike mono-preparations, Sufron attacks pests on two fronts. Cypermethrin ensures an immediate 'knockdown' effect, disrupting the insect’s nervous system upon contact. Meanwhile, chlorpyrifos acts as the heavy artillery, providing fumigant action that penetrates deep into thick canopy or soil crevices to eliminate hidden pests that might otherwise escape surface sprays.

Pros and considerations

• Strength: Exceptional control of Coleoptera and Lepidoptera. It is a go-to for protecting rapeseed, sunflower, and sugar beet during critical growth stages.
• Performance: Delivers a distinct 'stop-feeding' effect in cases of high pest density.
• Safety: Given its Class 2 hazard rating, strict adherence to safety protocols and a 30–40 day pre-harvest interval are essential.
• Application: Being a contact-action emulsion concentrate, high-quality spray coverage is paramount for success.

This product is optimized for operations where preventing yield loss is the primary goal. Sufron is not for mild infestations; it is designed to drastically reduce pest populations where other insecticides fail due to resistance. With an application rate of 0.5–1.5 L/ha, it allows for flexibility in managing high-risk fields, ensuring that crops like winter wheat or sunflowers remain protected during their most vulnerable developmental phases.
