Hunter

Why «Hunter» is the preferred choice for cereal and industrial crop protection

In modern intensive farming, where fields face simultaneous attacks from complex groups of pests, using combination products is an economically sound strategy. «Hunter», manufactured by the Factory of Agrochemicals (Cherkasy, Ukraine), leverages a potent blend of two active ingredients: cypermethrin and chlorpyrifos. This synergy elevates the product from a standard insecticide to a «heavy hitter» designed to protect sunflower, rapeseed, and cereal crops.

The Power of a Double Strike

The key strength of «Hunter» lies in the interaction between its components:

• Chlorpyrifos provides a strong fumigation effect. By penetrating the respiratory systems of pests, it ensures the elimination of even hidden insects like weevil larvae or cereal flies.
• Cypermethrin is responsible for the instant «knockdown effect». Upon contact with the insect’s chitin, it disrupts nerve impulses, causing paralysis within minutes of application.

This combination allows farmers to combat a broad spectrum of pests—from rapeseed blossom beetles to sunn pests—in a single spray application.

Application and Efficacy

The product comes as an emulsifiable concentrate, simplifying tank mix preparation. With a dosage rate of 0.5–1.5 L/ha, «Hunter» serves as a flexible tool: lower doses are efficient against adults, while higher doses tackle dense populations during peak activity.

Advantages:

• Stable performance under varying air temperatures, crucial for spring and summer treatments.
• Pronounced contact action, essential for controlling the meadow moth.
• Long-lasting residual activity on plant surfaces.

Safety Guidelines:

Class 2 hazard classification requires strict adherence to safety protocols. Given its contact nature and residual activity, it is vital to observe the pre-harvest interval (30–40 days). We recommend spraying during early morning or late evening hours to avoid thermal degradation and minimize risks to beneficial insects and bees.

«Hunter» is the optimal solution for agricultural enterprises that prioritize comprehensive protection and seek a guaranteed way to prevent yield losses during critical crop growth stages.
