Kinfos KE

Why Kinphos KE is a choice for intensive crop protection

When a complex of pests hits your fields, there is no time for "therapeutic" treatments. Our field experience shows that Kinphos KE works like heavy artillery. By combining two active ingredients—dimethoate and beta-cypermethrin—we achieve a "two-in-one" effect: an instant knockdown on contact plus systemic action that protects the plant from within.

Operational nuances

As an operator, I note that the emulsion concentrate mixes in the tank without any issues. The key here is the systemic effect: the preparation penetrates plant tissues, so even if the spray coverage is not perfect on every single leaf, the active substance will propagate through the plant's vascular system. This is a life-saver when dealing with dense winter wheat or barley crops, where lower layers are often unreachable by traditional contact insecticides.

• Dosage: the rate of 0.15–0.5 l/ha allows for a flexible approach to field economics, depending on the pest pressure threshold.
• Performance: it excels at cleaning out cereal flies, aphids, and thrips. When used on potatoes, the Colorado potato beetle dies quickly, preventing critical crop loss.
• Safety and timing: Hazard class 2 requires strict adherence to safety protocols when operating the sprayer. The pre-harvest interval is 30 days, which must be factored into your harvest planning.

Field tips

We typically perform 1–2 treatments per season, which is sufficient to suppress peak pest populations. This product from ZAO Shchelkovo Agrohim behaves consistently; however, keep in mind that the efficiency of systemic insecticides depends directly on active sap flow. Do not expect miracles under extreme temperature conditions—plan your spray window accordingly. Overall, this is a reliable tool for those who prefer certainty over guesswork and want to resolve pest issues in one high-quality pass.
