Shocker

When pests don't leave a chance: the double punch of "Shoker"

In the struggle for cereal and sunflower yields, agronomists often face the problem of a complex pest population in a single field. When sucking insects and active leaf-chewing species attack simultaneously, using single-action products becomes inefficient. The "Shoker" insecticide from Vitagro Group is designed exactly for these scenarios, combining systemic and contact action in one formulation.

Why agronomists choose this combination?

The success of the product lies in the synergy of two active ingredients: Imidacloprid and Lambda-cyhalothrin. Imidacloprid penetrates plant tissues, providing systemic protection that reaches pests hidden inside leaves or stems. Lambda-cyhalothrin acts like a "lightning bolt," causing immediate nervous system paralysis upon contact. This effectively controls populations of European corn borer, cutworms, meadow moths, and sunn pests.

Field Application Scenarios

• Sunflower fields: Stopping meadow moths and cutworms during the active growth phase is critical, as every leaf injury reduces future yield. "Shoker" serves as an essential "insurance policy" for the crop.
• Cereal crops: Controlling sunn pests, thrips, and leafhoppers during the spring and summer periods. Due to the suspension concentrate formulation, the product spreads perfectly over the leaf surface.

The recommended application rate is between 0.5 and 1.0 liters per hectare. It is important to note that the product belongs to Hazard Class 2, so spraying operations require standard safety measures to protect personnel and beehives. Up to two treatments per season are allowed, providing flexibility in crop protection depending on the phytosanitary conditions of your fields.
