Contador

A Systemic Shield for Crops: Why Contador by Nertus Works

When pests start dictating conditions in the field, a systemic approach is non-negotiable. Contador, based on imidacloprid, is an insecticide with a distinct systemic mode of action. Its primary strength lies in its ability to be rapidly absorbed by the plant and translocated through the vascular system, providing protection even to parts of the plant not directly hit during spraying.

Advantages and Usage Details

• Long-Lasting Control: Due to the high concentration of the active ingredient, the product remains effective within the plant tissues, which is vital for combating aphids and thrips that reproduce quickly.
• Broad Spectrum: The product effectively targets both concealed pests (leafhoppers, cereal leaf beetles) and leaf-eating insects like the Colorado potato beetle.
• Economic Efficiency: The application rate of 0.2–0.25 L/ha allows for optimized costs per hectare while maintaining high performance.

Who is this for: Contador is an optimal choice for farms growing potatoes, tomatoes, or cereals (wheat, barley) that require a powerful solution for a single-pass treatment. Its systemic nature makes it indispensable during periods of active crop growth when pest pressure is at its peak.

Important Note: While the product is classified as toxicity class 3, its systemic nature requires strict adherence to regulations. Remember that a single treatment per season is a mandatory limitation aimed at preventing the development of insect resistance. To achieve the best results, conduct spraying during the vegetation period under favorable weather conditions, avoiding exposure of the mixture to direct sunlight.
