Connect 112.5 SC

Why Connect 112.5 SC is the industry standard for onion protection

Managing onion thrips and onion flies requires a robust strategy, especially given the insects' ability to develop resistance. Connect 112.5 SC from Bayer offers a powerful solution by combining two active ingredients: imidacloprid and beta-cyfluthrin. This synergy creates a unique mix of systemic and contact action, providing both immediate knockdown effects and long-lasting protection of the plant tissues.

Key advantages

• Dual Action Power: Beta-cyfluthrin hits on contact, while imidacloprid is absorbed systemically to protect new growth.
• Weather Resilience: The suspension concentrate formulation adheres well to leaves, providing excellent resistance to wash-off.
• Thrips Control: Specifically effective against hidden pests that reside in tight leaf axils, where standard contact treatments often fail.

Application and efficiency

To ensure peak efficacy, the product should be applied at a rate of 0.4–0.5 L/ha. Adherence to the safety interval of 20–30 days before harvest is critical for food safety standards. With a maximum of two applications per season, it fits perfectly into integrated pest management programs.

Practical notes: As a class 2 hazard product, it requires careful handling and the use of appropriate personal protective equipment. Connect 112.5 SC is the professional choice for large-scale growers who prioritize crop quality and consistency in yields against persistent pests like thrips.
