Shaman

Why Shaman is the go-to solution for complex pest control

When multiple pests, from beet weevils to cereal leaf beetles, attack a field simultaneously, standard single-component insecticides often fail. Shaman offers a dual-action approach, combining the power of organophosphorus compounds (chlorpyrifos) with pyrethroids (cypermethrin). This synergy provides a distinct advantage: an immediate knockdown effect coupled with prolonged residual protection.

Strengths and Application Tactics

The contact action of the product allows for the elimination of pests during their peak activity. Chlorpyrifos provides additional fumigant properties, which is critical for targeting hidden pests like cutworms. Key benefits include:

• Broad-spectrum control: Highly effective against Lepidoptera, Coleoptera, and sucking insects on sugar beets, rapeseed, soy, and cereals.
• Environmental stability: The formulation maintains efficacy in temperature ranges where pure pyrethroids often degrade.
• Application flexibility: The dosage rate of 0.5 to 1.0 L/ha allows agronomists to adjust intensity based on the severity of the infestation.

Operational Guidelines

Shaman is a concentrated emulsion that requires strict adherence to regulations. Classified as a Hazard Class 2 product, it demands full compliance with safety protocols during application. The maximum frequency is limited to 1–2 applications per season, with a mandatory 30-day pre-harvest interval. The product is manufactured through a partnership of Hungarian (Peters & Burg Kft.) and Chinese (Yangzhou National Chemical Westjong Company, Zhejiang Jinfanda Biochemical Co., Ltd.) facilities, with quality overseen by the Ukrainian applicant, Nertus Ltd.

This insecticide is an ideal choice for professional farmers working with high-yield soybean, winter barley, and wheat crops where reliable pest protection is essential to maximize profitability.
