Professional crop protection for cereals and orchards

In modern agribusiness, managing pest pressure efficiently is critical for sustaining yield volumes and product quality. Sumithion EC, developed by Sumitomo Chemical Agro Europe S.A.S., is a proven contact-action insecticide and acaricide designed to handle persistent pest populations in both field crops and orchards.

Key application areas

Based on fenitrothion, this product is highly valued for its ability to provide rapid knockdown effects on a variety of pests that threaten profitability:

• Cereals (wheat, barley, rye): The primary use involves controlling the sunn pest and cereal leaf beetle. Regular spraying during the growing season ensures the protection of the ear and helps maintain high grain standards.
• Fruit trees (apple, pear): Sumithion EC is a staple in orchard management, targeting the codling moth, aphids, thrips, and various scale insects (Coccidae/Diaspididae). It serves as a vital component in an integrated pest management program.
• Winter rapeseed: It is used to mitigate risks from various insect pests during the vegetative stage, ensuring the plant population remains healthy until harvest.

Operational guidelines

Sumithion EC is formulated as an emulsifiable concentrate, facilitating easy preparation of the tank mix. Being a contact insecticide, its effectiveness is highly dependent on spray coverage; optimal results are achieved when all plant surfaces are treated uniformly. As the product is classified under Toxicity Class 2, it is mandatory to follow strict safety protocols, wear personal protective equipment, and adhere to pre-harvest intervals. This is a reliable solution for farmers seeking consistent performance and robust crop protection against complex pest threats.
