Pirinex 48 EC, (chlorpyrifos, 480 g/l)

Heavy-duty pest control for professional growers

When you are facing an outbreak of meadow moth or cutworms, you need a solution that works without compromise. In our farming practice, Pirinex 48 EC has become a go-to tool. Produced by Makhteshim Chemical Works Ltd. (Israel), this insecticide provides the reliability we need to manage high-pressure pest scenarios across various crops, including wheat, sugar beet, and orchards.

Operating and Application Insights

Being an operator, I appreciate the consistency of this emulsifiable concentrate. When preparing the tank mix, the product dissolves reliably, ensuring a stable solution. The key to success here, as with many contact insecticides, is in the sprayer setup. Since Pirinex 48 EC acts upon direct contact, we prioritize getting an even, thorough coverage of the foliage and stems, especially when dealing with hidden pests like orchard leafrollers or fruit moths.

• Broad-spectrum action: It is highly effective against a diverse range of pests, including beetle larvae (like the Colorado potato beetle) and mites. This allows us to simplify our protection program.
• Safety protocols: As a Class 2 hazard substance, we handle it with maximum caution. Strict adherence to PPE requirements and pre-harvest intervals is non-negotiable for our team.
• In-field performance: Whether it is treating winter wheat against cereal ground beetles or managing pests in the orchard, the formulation holds up under different weather conditions, providing the knockdown effect required to stop crop damage in its tracks.

The Value of Proven Technology

Choosing an insecticide is a strategic decision for any farm owner. The Israeli formulation from Makhteshim-Agan offers a level of stability that is hard to find in generic alternatives. When I use Pirinex 48 EC, I know exactly what to expect from the equipment and the result in the field. It is a professional-grade tool that, when handled correctly, provides the protection necessary to safeguard yields against the most stubborn infestations.
