RELDAN 22 EC

Chlorpyrifos-methyl: Technical Precision in Pest Control

At the core of RELDAN 22 EC is chlorpyrifos-methyl, an organophosphate insecticide that provides systemic and contact control. By inhibiting the acetylcholinesterase enzyme, the chemical disrupts the insect's nervous system, leading to rapid knockdown. This mechanism is critical when managing rapid pest outbreaks in high-value commercial crops.

Fumigation Effect: Reaching the Unreachable

What sets this Dow AgroSciences formulation apart is its potent fumigation action. While contact kills surface-dwelling insects, the vapor phase allows the active ingredient to penetrate dense canopies and reach hidden pests in deep plant tissues or soil crevices. This makes it an essential tool for protecting complex crop structures, such as apple trees or dense leafy vegetables like cabbage.

Application and Field Versatility

RELDAN 22 EC serves as a robust defense for a wide variety of crops, including winter wheat, winter barley, oilseed rape, and various vegetables (tomatoes, peppers, eggplants). Its emulsion concentrate formulation ensures optimal distribution across the crop surface during spraying.

• Target Range: Effective against a broad spectrum of pests, including aphids, cutworms, wheat ground beetles, cabbage moths, and cereal flies.
• Flexibility: Suitable for both vegetative spraying and specialized soil treatment applications, depending on the specific agronomical challenge.
• Operational Guidelines: With 1–2 applications allowed and a pre-harvest interval (PHI) ranging from 20 to 40 days, it offers the flexibility needed for integrated pest management (IPM) programs.

Engineered by Dow AgroSciences in King’s Lynn, this insecticide combines rigorous chemical standards with practical field efficiency, ensuring consistent protection against resistant pest populations.
