Contact Plus

Hard-hitting pest control: the «Kontakt Plus» advantage

When field crops or orchards face simultaneous pest outbreaks, time is the most valuable resource. «Kontakt Plus» by Parijat Industries (India) is a robust insecticide and acaricide that agronomists rely on for rapid population suppression. By combining alpha-cypermethrin and lambda-cyhalothrin, the formula delivers an immediate «knockdown effect,» which is essential when pest density reaches economic thresholds.

Operational scenarios for farm use

• Cereal crops (wheat, barley): Highly effective against the sunn pest (Eurygaster integriceps) and cereal leaf beetles. Its contact action eliminates adults quickly, preventing damage to the flag leaf and grain head.
• Vegetables (potatoes, tomatoes, cabbage): A reliable standard for controlling the Colorado potato beetle, flea beetles, and aphids. It stops feeding activity almost immediately after application.
• Orchards (apples): Essential for managing leaf rollers and codling moths during the active growing season.

Application best practices

Presented as an emulsifiable concentrate, «Kontakt Plus» is easily mixed for tank applications. The recommended dosage is up to 0.5 L/ha, making it a cost-effective choice for large-scale operations. For best results, it is approved for up to two applications per season, providing flexibility during heavy infestation cycles. Given its contact nature, ensure thorough coverage of the plant canopy to maximize the number of insects coming into contact with the droplets.

The pre-harvest interval is 15 days, allowing for versatile use on both industrial crops and vegetables during fruit development. As a Class 2 hazard substance, strict safety protocols must be followed during mixing and spraying. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment and avoid applying during peak pollinator activity.
