Cruiser 350 FS is a systemic insecticide for seed treatment by various methods, with high safety for personnel, against complex soil-dwelling and surface pests of sugar beet, corn, sunflower, rapeseed, flax, and potato seedlings.
Systemic action and moderate solubility of the active ingredient Cruiser provide protection for crops for 6-8 weeks.
Maintains optimal seedling density with minimal seed material usage.
High tolerance of recommended Cruiser application rates to all sugar beet varieties.
No negative effect of Cruiser on seed germination quality (including seeds stored for one year after treatment).
Fungicides and complex microfertilizers can be added to the preparation.
Uniform protective effect, eliminating the need for additional seedling treatments and reducing pesticide load.
Composition of the pesticide:
Thiamethoxam 350 g/L, colorant and wetting agent.
Compatibility with other agrochemicals:
Compatible with polymer-based seed treatment protectants and other seed treatment products in the form of aqueous liquid emulsions with neutral pH. However, compatibility with Cruiser must be checked in each specific case. Not compatible with products based on organic solvents.
Mode of action:
Thiamethoxam acts on the insect nervous system, blocking nerve signal transmission between nerve endings, causing the insect to stop feeding and die. This mode of action prevents cross-resistance development to this product.
Method of application:
Continuous treatment equipment consisting of a treatment chamber and dryer. Two-stage treatment. Water volume — according to package recommendations.
Advantages
Reliable, long-lasting protection against a broad spectrum of pests
CRUISER, KS provides long-lasting and reliable protection against dangerous seedling pests such as wireworms — on roots and stem bases, aphids and leafhoppers — on leaves, etc.
Stable protective effect regardless of external conditions
Due to optimal chemical properties of thiamethoxam, CRUISER, KS acts equally effectively regardless of crop growing conditions. Even drought does not prevent young seedlings from absorbing the active ingredient, ensuring effective protective action.
Innovative solution for early pest protection
Seed treatment with the insecticide CRUISER, KS perfectly integrates into specific crop protection programs. CRUISER, KS is not only a more effective pest control method since it protects plants from the moment of germination, but also more convenient and economically advantageous compared to traditional methods such as soil treatments. Crop producers can now purchase seeds treated with this product without worrying about seedling survival, as it provides pest protection almost throughout the entire vegetation period.
Convenience for the user
CRUISER, KS is a seed treatment product. This means that young plants are protected from pests immediately upon germination, i.e., from the most vulnerable and critical stage for establishing future yields. Seed treatment with the insecticide CRUISER, KS allows reducing the number of additional insecticide sprays. The product can be used in combination with fungicides for seed treatment to provide comprehensive protection against diseases and pests. If necessary, any ground-applied insecticide may be used during the vegetation period.
Thiamethoxam 'Vigor™' effect
Thiamethoxam positively affects plants, increasing the level and activity of specific functional proteins that positively influence plant defense mechanisms. This enables plants to develop better and resist adverse environmental factors. The 'Vigor™' effect has been documented in many countries across a wide range of crops, and it is characterized by increased energy of germination of treated seeds, higher plant stand density, increased root mass, better and faster leaf development. In addition, plants grown from seeds treated with the seed treatment CRUISER, KS, SC, show better resistance to adverse environmental conditions such as drought, low pH, soil salinity, heat stress leading to protein degradation, UV radiation, pest damage, wind, hail, virus infection. Such plants recover better after adverse factors and have greater potential to achieve genetically predetermined yield.
Excellent formulation for convenient application
Working with the product CRUISER, KS significantly reduces the risk of skin, eye, and respiratory system irritation. When applied to seeds, the product does not dust, minimizing product loss and ensuring required field efficacy. It spreads evenly and easily over the surface of both large and small seeds of various crops. On certain crops, the product may be applied under farm conditions. All sanitary and hygienic norms for the product are established by relevant authorities and incorporated into regulatory acts.
Toxicity class
Third degree toxicity (low toxicity, LD50 > 3000).
Storage conditions
Storage conditions at temperatures from -5 °C to +35 °C.
