Pirinex CE

Heavy artillery in pest control

Pirinex EC from the Israeli manufacturer ADAMA MAKHTESHIM LTD. is widely regarded as a classic within the professional agronomist's arsenal. This organophosphate insecticide, based on chlorpyrifos, has spent decades building a reputation as a reliable tool for quickly and effectively suppressing pest outbreaks.

Unlike more specialized alternatives, this product operates on multiple fronts thanks to its combined contact and systemic action. Its key advantage is the ability to reach pests in hidden locations, ensuring control even through dense foliage.

Scope of application and effectiveness

The product is ideal for protecting strategically important crops, such as wheat, potatoes, apples, and fodder beets. It is indispensable for managing aggressive pests:

• Cereals: Ground beetles, sunn pest (Eurygaster integriceps).
• Technical crops: Beet flea beetles and tortoise beetles.
• Orchards: Codling moths, leaf rollers, and mites.
• Potatoes: Colorado potato beetle.

The dual-action mechanism allows the active substance not only to strike insects upon contact but also to protect the plant from within. The emulsifiable concentrate is easy to dose and creates a high-quality spray solution that coats leaf surfaces evenly.

Safety and application guidelines

As a Class 2 hazard level product, Pirinex EC requires strict adherence to safety regulations. Agronomists should note that the maximum number of treatments is limited to 1–2 applications per season. This limit is designed to prevent the development of pest resistance and ensure crop safety. Israeli manufacturing standards guarantee high chemical stability, which sets this product apart from numerous generic alternatives.
