Dual Action Against Pests: Why Choose Cormoran

In intensive agriculture, where pest waves follow one another, agronomists strive to minimize field operations. The insecticide Cormoran from ADAMA addresses this by combining two active ingredients: acetamiprid and novaluron. This is more than just a pesticide; it is a tool that simultaneously targets adult insects and inhibits the development of the next generation.

Field Application Scenarios

Cormoran's primary role is controlling stubborn pests in vegetable and orchard crops. Unlike single-ingredient products, it offers both systemic and contact action, which is vital in these scenarios:

• Potatoes and Tomatoes: Managing the Colorado potato beetle across all stages, including the most voracious larvae. The systemic effect of acetamiprid ensures protection for new growth that appears after the application.
• Orchards (Apple trees): Controlling codling moths. Novaluron, an insect growth regulator, disrupts the molting process, making this product essential for resistance management (IRAC) programs.
• Vegetables (Onion): Eradicating thrips and aphids, which multiply rapidly and often ignore older generation insecticides.

Technical Focus

The product comes as a water emulsion, ensuring an easy and stable tank mix. Application is performed during the vegetation period at rates of 0.5 to 1.0 L/ha. It is classified as toxicity class 3, requiring a pre-harvest interval of 20 to 30 days. With a maximum of 2 applications per season, it fits perfectly into integrated pest management strategies, preventing re-infestation.

Using Cormoran allows farmers to resolve pest problems for extended periods, saving on fuel and reducing plant stress by decreasing the number of tractor passes needed across the field.
