AKM (Fertus)

Double-Action Protection and Growth Boost

When you're out in the field, you need a tool that doesn't let you down. АКМ (Fertus) from VKF Imptorhervis has become our go-to solution—a dual-action weapon that knocks out pests while simultaneously boosting yield potential. The key advantage is the combination of acetamiprid and lambda-cyhalothrin. This synergy provides a powerful knockdown effect on contact along with long-lasting systemic protection, which is vital when pest outbreaks occur in waves.

Field Application Experience

Working with АКМ is straightforward: as a water-based solution, it mixes easily in tank batches and doesn't clog sprayer nozzles. We apply it during the vegetative stage across wheat, barley, rapeseed, fodder beet, and potatoes. It effectively manages a wide range of threats, from Colorado potato beetles to elusive pests like thrips and leafhoppers.

Why it’s a practical choice:

• Efficiency: The formula targets both surface pests and those dwelling deep within plant tissues.
• Safety: With a 4th hazard class rating, planning field operations is easier and safer for the staff.
• Integrated Approach: Beyond its insecticidal function, it acts as a growth regulator. Visually, treated crops appear more uniform, and the plants handle environmental stress better.

For us as operators, reliability is everything. After a pass with the sprayer, we don't have to return to the same field a couple of days later; the protection holds firm, and the crop receives a necessary growth boost. Consistent application rates and stable results make АКМ a fundamental part of our farm's crop protection program.
