Nominal w.d.g., (thiamethoxam, 250 g/kg)

Effective Protection for Apple Orchards

When it comes to protecting apple trees from hidden pests, systemic insecticides remain the gold standard of reliability. The product "Nominal WDG" from Sunrise Chemicals Co. Ltd. is a classic example of high-efficiency agents based on thiamethoxam (250 g/kg). Its main advantage lies in its deep systemic action: the product penetrates the plant's vascular system, making the apple tree tissues toxic to pests for up to 20 days.

Why choose "Nominal"?

• Dual Action: Thiamethoxam works equally effectively through both contact exposure and ingestion when a pest consumes treated foliage or sap.
• Broad Spectrum: The product successfully controls a complex of sucking and chewing insects—from aphids and apple suckers to stubborn scale insects and soft scales.
• Convenient Formulation: Water-dispersible granules are easy to dose, do not produce dust when preparing tank mixtures, and ensure a stable emulsion without sedimentation.

Application and Efficiency

The primary strength of "Nominal" is its ability to rapidly block the insect's receptors, causing paralysis and quick death. This is critical when fighting the apple blossom weevil, which can destroy a significant portion of the future harvest at the budding stage. The product shows excellent results with two applications per season. The applicant (Khimagromarketing) recommends maintaining a 20-day interval before harvest, allowing for maximum protective effect with minimal residual levels in the fruit.

Who is this insecticide for?

"Nominal" is an optimal choice for owners of commercial orchards and private farms who value the balance between price and quality. Unlike simple contact poisons, this systemic insecticide is less prone to being washed away by rain and does not require frequent repeat applications. A potential downside is the necessity to strictly follow the application regulations to prevent the development of pest resistance; therefore, rotating with products from other chemical groups is an essential agronomic practice.
