Double-Action Control for Cereal Pests

The combined insecticide "Kavalier" is engineered to protect winter and spring wheat, as well as barley, from a range of dangerous sucking and leaf-eating pests. Unlike single-active ingredient products, the combination of Thiamethoxam and Lambda-cyhalothrin overcomes the primary challenge for agronomists — insect resistance — by delivering an instant knockdown effect followed by prolonged residual protection.

Why Choose Kavalier?

• Systemic Activity: Thiamethoxam is absorbed into the plant's vascular system, ensuring that even newly developed plant tissue remains protected over time.
• Contact Action: Lambda-cyhalothrin paralyzes the pest's nervous system upon direct contact, which is essential during high-pressure outbreaks of cereal leaf beetle or sunn pest.
• Cost-Efficiency: With an optimal application rate (0.18–0.4 l/ha), it effectively manages populations of cereal flies, aphids, thrips, and leafhoppers without inflating input costs per hectare.

Formulated as a suspension concentrate, Kavalier is easy to mix and eliminates dust issues during handling. It is best deployed during peak pest migration phases when rapid population suppression is required. Classified as a Class 3 hazard, it allows for standard field use, provided that standard safety protocols are followed.

Application Tips

A maximum of two applications per season is sufficient for optimal results. Because of its systemic nature, Kavalier is particularly well-suited for early growth stages when preventing damage to young seedlings is paramount. Effectiveness relies heavily on thorough leaf coverage, so ensure your spraying equipment is well-calibrated with the appropriate nozzles for uniform distribution.
