Deltaseave

Synergistic Protection: How Deltasave Works

The success of winter wheat crop protection relies on the strategic combination of two active ingredients with distinct mechanisms of action. Deltasave, produced by Agri Sciences Tarim ve Ilac, integrates Thiacloprid (a neonicotinoid) and Deltamethrin (a pyrethroid). This blend is designed to achieve two critical objectives: a rapid knockdown effect and long-lasting systemic control.

Technical Specifications and Mechanisms

• Systemic Activity: Thiacloprid translocates within plant tissues, providing protection to new growth and parts of the canopy that may not have been directly covered by the spray.
• Contact and Ingestion Action: Deltamethrin disrupts the nervous system of pests upon contact, which is essential for managing heavy infestations of sunn pests (Eurygaster integriceps), cereal flies, and cereal leaf beetles.
• Formulation: Supplied as a suspension concentrate, the product ensures superior solubility and adhesion to the waxy leaf surface of wheat, increasing residual efficacy.

Practical Application and Guidelines

For optimal results on winter wheat, the recommended application rate is 0.25–0.5 L/ha. The product is highly effective against aphids, thrips, and beetles, halting their feeding activity shortly after application. Growers should note that a maximum of two applications per season is permitted to manage resistance levels. A 30-day pre-harvest interval is strictly required to ensure food safety and compliance with quality standards.

Classified under hazard class 2, Deltasave requires careful handling and the use of personal protective equipment. Its systemic profile makes it an essential component of integrated pest management (IPM) programs, providing reliable results during high-pressure periods in wheat cultivation.
