Eldo 480 FS

Systemic Protection for Winter Rapeseed Starts

The establishment of a healthy winter rapeseed crop depends heavily on protecting seeds from soil-borne and early-season pests. Elado 480 FS is a systemic insecticide seed treatment powered by clothianidin, a potent neonicotinoid. Its core technical advantage is rapid uptake and systemic translocation, allowing the active ingredient to move within the germinating plant to provide long-lasting residual control exactly when the crop is most vulnerable.

Formulation and Technical Precision

The flowable suspension concentrate (FS) formulation is designed for superior seed coverage. The product adheres effectively to the seed coat, minimizing dust-off and ensuring uniform distribution of the active substance. Clothianidin acts by targeting the nervous system of pests, providing both prophylactic root protection and suppression of early-stage foliar insects.

Application Insights

• Dosage and Efficacy: Applying 8–10 liters per ton of seed ensures optimal concentration levels required to mitigate damage from early pest pressure.
• Safety and Handling: Classified as a Class 3 hazard, the product requires standard professional agricultural handling protocols during the seed treatment process.
• Single-Pass Strategy: One precise application on the seed is sufficient to safeguard the plant throughout its early critical growth phases, often negating the need for emergency foliar sprays.

Manufactured by a global coalition of industry leaders, including Bayer AG, Briar Chemicals Ltd., and associated international entities, Elado 480 FS meets strict quality standards. This global manufacturing footprint ensures consistency in the active ingredient's performance and formulation stability, making it a reliable tool for professional agronomists looking to secure plant vigor before dormancy.
