Diagro Max, G, insecticide-fertilizer

Synergy of nutrition and protection: how Diagro Max works

Under heavy soil pest pressure, where wireworms and cutworms can destroy up to 40% of corn or sunflower seedlings, a "protection plus nutrition" strategy is crucial for maintaining optimal stand density. Diagro Max, G is a granular formulation developed by Zemelny Kapital specifically for in-furrow application, ensuring direct contact with pests and immediate release of essential micronutrients.

Technical breakdown of the composition

The product's efficacy relies on a combination of a potent organophosphate and an essential micronutrient:

• Chlorpyrifos: a contact-stomach insecticide with strong systemic and fumigant effects. The compound inhibits the acetylcholinesterase enzyme, causing paralysis in insects. In the soil, chlorpyrifos creates a protective shield around the root system, which is particularly vital for sensitive growth stages of sugar beet and sunflowers.
• Zinc (Zn): serves not only as a metabolic stimulant but also as a factor for increasing seedling stress resistance. In early stages, it is critical for auxin synthesis, which governs root development. Incorporating the micronutrient into the granule alongside the insecticide allows the plant to receive an immediate regeneration boost for root hairs as soon as pest pressure is neutralized.

Engineering solution: why granules?

The granular form is a calculated technological choice. Unlike liquid formulations applied by sprayers, Diagro Max granules allow for precise pre-planting application. With an application rate of 2–5 kg/ha, it ensures uniform distribution of the active ingredient in the seed and root zone. A single seasonal application effectively mitigates the risk of root damage, minimizing the need for reseeding and reducing logistical costs associated with multiple crop protection applications.
