Tabu Super

Double protection for soil-borne pests

"Tabu Super" from the Belarusian manufacturer "August-Bel" is a specialized seed treatment solution designed to handle high pest pressure. In an era where input costs are critical, this product serves as a foundational layer of security for sunflower, potato, and corn crops. By combining imidacloprid and fipronil, the manufacturer has created a formulation that offers both immediate contact action and long-lasting systemic protection.

The mechanics of crop security

The synergy between the two active ingredients creates a multi-layered defense strategy:

• Imidacloprid (Systemic action): Absorbed by the developing seedling, this component protects the plant from within, deterring and eliminating insects that feed on early tissues.
• Fipronil (Contact action): Acts as a lethal barrier in the soil surrounding the seed, neutralising pests like wireworms and corn ground beetles upon contact.

This dual-action approach is particularly effective against severe threats such as wireworms, corn ground beetles, and frit flies. It ensures that the young plant emerges in a protected environment, which is vital for achieving a uniform stand density.

Field Application and Performance

Supplied as a suspension concentrate, "Tabu Super" ensures excellent adhesion to seeds, minimizing dust-off and ensuring precise dosage during the planting process. While it carries a Class 2 hazard rating, requiring standard safety protocols for operators, its high efficacy allows for lower total pesticide usage compared to blanket broadcast applications. The manufacturing quality of "August-Bel" ensures consistent stability of the formulation, making it a reliable choice for commercial agriculture. Whether applied on potato tubers or corn and sunflower seeds, this product is engineered to stabilize yields in fields with high historic pest populations.
