Rimon

Advanced pest control for orchards and fields

Rimon, developed by ADAMA MAKHTESHIM LTD., is a specialized insecticide engineered to combat lepidopteran pests. The active ingredient, novaluron, belongs to the benzoylphenylurea group. It functions as a chitin synthesis inhibitor, effectively disrupting the molting process of insect larvae. This mechanism ensures that pests do not reach adulthood, preventing the next generation from causing damage.

Field Application Scenarios

Rimon is primarily utilized in apple orchards to manage codling moth and leafroller populations. It is also highly effective in potato production. Because of its targeted mode of action, it is frequently integrated into pest management programs, as it poses lower risks to beneficial predatory insects compared to broad-spectrum contact insecticides.

Practical Guidelines

• Method: Apply via foliar spraying during the vegetation period. Consistent coverage is essential due to the product's contact action.
• Application limits: Conduct 2–3 treatments per season depending on pest pressure.
• Safety and Harvest: The product is classified as hazard class 3. Maintain a 30-day pre-harvest interval (PHI) to ensure the safety and quality of your crops.

Supplied as an emulsifiable concentrate, Rimon is designed for easy mixing and application in diverse agricultural settings. By stopping larvae before they can bore into fruit or foliage, it helps maintain high marketable yields for both fruit and tuber producers.
