Faskord CE: Reliable Protection Against Major Pests

The «Faskord CE» insecticide, produced by CJSC Shchelkovo Agrohim, is a well-established solution in the agricultural market, based on alpha-cypermethrin. Belonging to the pyrethroid chemical class, this contact-action insecticide is designed to provide rapid control of pest populations, making it an essential tool for integrated pest management in field crops.

Application and Efficacy

The formulation as an emulsifiable concentrate ensures ease of use and consistent distribution during vegetation spraying. Faskord CE acts on contact, meaning its efficiency heavily depends on the thoroughness of the application coverage. It is highly effective against a wide array of insects, including:

• Cereal pests: sunn pest (Eurygaster integriceps), cereal leaf beetle (Oulema), and leafhoppers;
• Pests of tubers and legumes: Colorado potato beetle, loopers, and various flea beetles;
• Broad-spectrum threats: meadow moths and pieridae (cabbage worms).

Field Management and Guidelines

Faskord CE is utilized across a diverse range of crops, including winter wheat, winter barley, rye, potato, peas, forage beet, and alfalfa. With a recommended application rate of 0.1–0.3 l/ha, it allows for flexible and cost-effective treatment. The safety profile classifies it as a Class 3 hazard, requiring standard protective measures during handling. To effectively manage resistance, the product is limited to a maximum of two applications per season. With a pre-harvest interval of 20–30 days, growers can strategically time their applications during peak vegetative development to ensure maximum yield protection.
