BIOTLIN

Systemic Protection Against Persistent Pests

Biotlin, produced by ZAO Firm August, is a targeted insecticide based on imidacloprid, engineered to eliminate sucking insects that damage crops from within. Unlike contact insecticides that require direct hits, Biotlin features a systemic mode of action. Once applied, it is absorbed by the plant tissues, rendering the sap toxic to pests like aphids, whiteflies, and thrips—even those hiding under dense foliage or curled leaves where direct spraying is difficult.

Key Advantages

• Long-lasting control: By integrating into the plant's vascular system, it provides a persistent protective barrier, preventing re-infestation for several weeks.
• Weather resilience: Once the solution dries on the leaves, the active ingredient is protected from being washed away by rain, ensuring consistent results in unpredictable weather.
• Targeted efficiency: It is particularly effective against thrips, a pest known for its ability to develop resistance to standard contact-based chemicals.

Application and Safety

Biotlin is formulated as a water-soluble concentrate, making it easy to prepare for field application. It is classified as a Hazard Class 3 agent, requiring standard safety precautions during use. The protocol allows for a single spraying session during the vegetation period. With a pre-harvest interval of only 3 days, it is a highly practical solution for vegetable crops, apple and pear trees, and currant bushes during the active growing season. Its systemic nature makes it ideal for preventing population explosions of sap-sucking insects without the need for frequent repeat treatments.
