IL-Star KS

Protecting orchards: Advanced systemic pest control

For modern horticulture, where yield quality is the primary objective, effective pest management is non-negotiable. “IL-Star KS”, produced by “Fabryka Ahrokhimikativ” (Cherkasy, Ukraine), is a specialized insecticidal solution designed specifically for pome fruits. By combining imidacloprid and lambda-cyhalothrin, this product offers a dual-action approach to eliminating pests in apple and pear orchards.

When to deploy IL-Star KS?

This product is engineered to address the most damaging pests that threaten the yield potential of orchards. Common operational scenarios include:

• Early-season protection against weevils and apple blossom weevils that damage reproductive buds.
• Controlling codling moths and leaf rollers; the systemic action allows the product to move within the plant tissues, providing long-lasting defense.
• Targeting persistent threats like scale insects (coccids) and aphids, which compromise the plant's vigor and fruit quality.

Practical application insights

Supplied as a suspension concentrate, IL-Star KS is designed for seamless integration into existing spray programs. Its systemic nature ensures that the active ingredients penetrate the plant structure, providing protection beyond just contact.

For optimal results in the field:

• Application rate: 0.2–0.5 L/ha, adjusted according to pest pressure.
• Treatment limit: A maximum of two applications per season is permitted.
• Safety interval: Maintain a 30-day pre-harvest interval to ensure residue compliance.

Manufactured in Cherkasy, this product is tailored for local climatic conditions, ensuring reliable results for Ukrainian farmers. Whether dealing with internal pests or surface-feeding insects, IL-Star KS provides a consistent, professional-grade solution to maintain the integrity and health of fruit-bearing trees throughout the growing cycle.
