Presto

Dual-action pest control: the essence of Presto

In modern agriculture, crop protection requires solutions capable of staying ahead of pest cycles. The insecticide "Presto," manufactured by the Chinese company Hangzhou Ruijiang Chemical Co., Ltd., is a systemic product designed to tackle the growing issue of pest resistance. By combining clothianidin (a neonicotinoid) with lambda-cyhalothrin, the formula provides more than just contact elimination—it offers long-lasting systemic protection by penetrating plant tissues.

Technical efficiency and application

As a suspension concentrate, Presto ensures easy tank mixing and excellent shelf stability. It has proven its effectiveness in protecting potatoes from the Colorado potato beetle, as well as winter wheat against a wide range of pests, including the sunn pest, cereal leaf beetle, aphids, thrips, and leafhoppers.

• Systemic Action: The active ingredients are translocated throughout the plant, protecting even new growth that emerges after application.
• Flexible Dosage: The application rate ranges from 0.15 to 0.3 L/ha, depending on the infestation intensity.
• Lifecycle Management: Up to 2 applications per season are permitted, maintaining a safe pre-harvest interval (PHI) of 20–30 days.

Supplied by Sidera-Agro, the product is classified under hazard class 3, requiring standard safety precautions during spraying operations. Presto is a reliable tool for agronomists who prioritize a comprehensive approach to pest management and aim to minimize yield losses during critical vegetation stages.
