Grinfort DM 400

Systemic Protection for Cereals and Beets: The Potential of Grinfort DM 400

In the market for dimethoate-based insecticides, "Grinfort DM 400" has established a reputation as a reliable tool for intensive farming. Its systemic mode of action makes it highly effective against pests that are either elusive or protected by thick exoskeletons. The product results from a collaboration between international production facilities (TRUSTCHEM, Shanghai MIO Chemical) and local expertise provided by AgroMaxi, ensuring it is well-adapted to the needs of modern agriculture.

Why Dimethoate Remains Relevant

Despite the emergence of newer compound classes, dimethoate remains a staple due to its combined contact and systemic effects. Within the "Grinfort DM 400" formulation, the active ingredient quickly penetrates plant tissues, rendering them toxic to sap-feeding insects. This is critical for protecting winter crops during peak pest migration periods.

Key Specifications and Application

• Spectrum of Activity: Highly effective against sunn pest (Eurygaster integriceps), cereal leaf beetles, cereal flies, leaf miners, aphids, and thrips.
• Application Flexibility: The application rate ranges from 0.5 to 1.5 L/ha, depending on the phytosanitary conditions of the field.
• Guidelines: The product is applied via foliar spraying. Up to two treatments per season are allowed, ensuring that the necessary pre-harvest interval (30–40 days) is respected.

Given its Category 2 toxicity rating, handling "Grinfort DM 400" requires strict adherence to safety protocols and control over spray drift. While the product fits well into anti-resistance management programs, proper rotation of active ingredients is essential to maintain long-term control efficacy.
