Stefesin

Professional pest control for technical and vegetable crops

Stefesin by Bayer is a specialized crop protection product designed to manage insect infestations in high-value technical and vegetable fields. With its contact-based mode of action, it provides an immediate knockdown effect against common pests such as cutworms, cabbage white butterflies, and meadow moths, which are often responsible for significant yield losses in crops like rapeseed, sunflower, and various vegetables.

Field Application and Strategy

Agronomists integrate Stefesin into their crop protection protocols when rapid intervention is required. The emulsifiable concentrate formulation ensures excellent coverage and adhesion, even on crops with waxy cuticles like cabbage or carrots.

• Optimal Application Rates: The recommended dose ranges from 0.5 to 1.0 L/ha, depending on pest pressure and the crop's growth stage.
• Operational Efficiency: The product is suitable for up to two applications per season, providing flexibility in controlling pest generations. A 30-day pre-harvest interval must be strictly observed to ensure compliance with quality standards.
• Targeted Efficacy: It is particularly effective against pests like the stem corn borer and phytonomus, which can be difficult to manage with milder products.

Classified as a Hazard Class 3 product, Stefesin balances effectiveness with manageable safety requirements. It is a reliable choice for farmers looking to protect their investment from the early stages of plant development through to maturity, ensuring the crop remains free from damage caused by chewing and sucking insects.
