SPINTOR 240 SC

Protecting crops with maximum efficiency and safety

Managing pests like thrips or fruit moths in high-value crops requires a tool that balances knockdown power with short pre-harvest intervals. Spintor 240 SC has proven itself in our field operations as a reliable solution. Based on spinosad, a product derived from soil fermentation, it is an effective choice for growers who prioritize both plant health and efficient production schedules.

Operational insights

The suspension concentrate formulation makes it very user-friendly. It mixes easily in the spray tank without clogging nozzles, ensuring uniform application during canopy spraying. We have observed that its contact and systemic action is best utilized when we ensure thorough coverage of the foliage. For crops like tomatoes, cucumbers, and peaches, timing is everything.

• Rapid Impact: The product delivers quick results against target pests like leafminers, thrips, and codling moths.
• Harvest Flexibility: With a pre-harvest interval of just 5–14 days, you can maintain crop protection right up to the start of the harvest window.
• Application Management: Being authorized for 2-3 applications per season, it gives us the flexibility to manage pest pressure throughout the growth cycle without excessive residue concerns.

Operating with a Class 3 hazard profile, it is manageable for the crew as long as standard safety protocols are followed. One tip for those applying Spintor: focus on application timing. Applying during the cooler hours of the day ensures the product remains on the leaf surface long enough to be absorbed, maximizing the systemic effect. It is a straightforward, dependable, and high-performance product that keeps our ornamental and vegetable crops thriving through the summer.
