Superkil 440

Striking Power Against Pests: Why Choose Superkill 440

When an infestation hits your fields, there is no time for long-term experiments. Superkill 440 from the Belgian company Agrifarm S.A. is a practical tool for situations requiring an immediate response to mitigate threats. Thanks to the synergy of two active ingredients (cypermethrin and chlorpyrifos), the product acts as 'heavy artillery,' targeting a wide spectrum of insects at various developmental stages.

Practical Application Scenarios

Farmers often integrate this insecticide into their crop protection programs when pest pressure is high, requiring both contact action and fumigation effects (the ability to penetrate hard-to-reach areas, such as under soil clods or inside curled leaves).

• Cereals and Rapeseed: Essential for managing outbreaks of the sunn pest on wheat or infestations of rapeseed blossom beetles and sawflies. Its rapid 'knockdown' effect stops feeding damage within hours of application.
• Sugar Beets: Effectively suppresses populations of common and gray beet weevils, which can destroy young seedlings in a matter of days.
• Potatoes: Traditionally used to combat the Colorado potato beetle, especially where populations have developed resistance to basic pyrethroids.
• Apple Orchards: Helps control hidden pests, ensuring the marketable quality of the fruit.

Application Technology

The product is supplied as an emulsifiable concentrate, making it easy to prepare a stable working solution. The application rate ranges from 0.5 to 1.0 L/ha. Agronomists should note the pre-harvest interval for manual labor (30 days) and mechanized operations (1 day), as well as the safety classification (Class 2). To prevent the development of pest resistance, the number of applications is limited to two per season.
