Proteus 110 OD

Synergistic Protection for Modern Crops

Proteus 110 OD stands as a cornerstone in high-efficiency crop protection, representing a sophisticated synergy between systemic and contact action. Developed through the collaborative expertise of global leaders like Bayer AG, Cheminova, and SBM Formulation, this insecticide was engineered to overcome the natural resistance developed by pests against standard singular active ingredients. By combining thiacloprid (a neonicotinoid) with deltamethrin (a pyrethroid), it offers a robust barrier against a wide array of agricultural threats.

The Advantage of Oil Dispersion (OD)

The core of Proteus 110 OD's effectiveness lies in its specialized oil-based formulation. Unlike conventional emulsifiable concentrates, the oil dispersion provides superior adherence to foliage, exceptional rainfastness, and enhanced penetration through the leaf cuticle. For producers of onions, cabbage, tomatoes, or oilseed rape, this means the active ingredients stay exactly where they are needed, regardless of minor fluctuations in weather conditions.

Versatility and Field Application

This formulation is highly regarded for its performance across diverse crops, including maize, cereals, and root crops like sugar beet. It is particularly effective in targeting challenging pests such as flea beetles, aphids, weevils, and the Colorado potato beetle. The mechanism is two-fold:

• Instant Contact Effect: Rapid knockdown of exposed pests during spraying.
• Systemic Residual Protection: Thiacloprid is absorbed by the plant, providing sustained defense against hidden pests (leaf miners, thrips) for several weeks.

With a maximum of two applications allowed per season and a pre-harvest interval of 20–30 days, Proteus 110 OD allows for precise, responsible farm management. Its inclusion in integrated pest management (IPM) programs is highly recommended to balance immediate yield protection with long-term ecological sustainability.
