Alpha-Super

Protecting the yield: field experience with «Alfa-Super»

When pests strike, time is of the essence. Using «Alfa-Super» by «Agricopter Asia Limited» has proven that it is a classic, reliable tool for rapid response. As a practitioner, I can say that this is a contact insecticide, so the quality of your spray coverage is the most critical factor. If your nozzle calibration is off, the results will not meet expectations.

Efficiency and Application

The active ingredient, alpha-cypermethrin, provides a sharp and predictable knockdown effect. The emulsifiable concentrate is stable in tank mixes and does not precipitate, which is essential for busy spraying schedules. It is easy to dose, and the tank cleaning process is straightforward.

• Crops and Targets: On winter wheat and rapeseed, «Alfa-Super» effectively controls flea beetles, weevils, cereal flies, and aphids. When dealing with the wheat bug, the results are typically visible within a few hours.
• Application Rates: We stick to the 0.1–0.25 L/ha range. We use the higher rate for heavy pest pressure and the lower rate for preventative measures.
• Technology: Always maintain the pre-harvest interval of 20–30 days to ensure safety and quality standards.

Agronomist’s Perspective

Given its toxicity class 2 rating, strict adherence to PPE protocols is non-negotiable — this is a potent product. We strictly limit use to a maximum of 2 applications per season to prevent the development of pest resistance. «Alfa-Super» is not about nurturing the crop; it is about saving it during the peak activity of insects. It is a simple, effective, and reliable tool that, when paired with properly adjusted spray equipment, delivers consistent results every time.
