Field Experience with Agrifarm S.A. Insecticide

When pests like the rape blossom beetle or cutworms hit your fields, time is a luxury you don't have. This insecticide from the Belgian company Agrifarm S.A., based on chlorpyrifos and cypermethrin, is a proven solution for radical pest control. During actual field operations, this emulsifiable concentrate has proven to be a reliable workhorse that doesn't cause any headaches during tank mixing.

Operational Insights

• Contact Action: The effect is almost instantaneous. For wheat, rapeseed, or apple orchards, this immediate knock-down effect is vital to prevent leaf damage during critical growth stages.
• Dosage: With a rate of 0.5–1.2 L/ha, you get uniform coverage even on dense canopy crops. Ensure your sprayer nozzles are well-calibrated, as the product is highly active and potent.
• Versatility: It handles aphids and weevils on beets and other crops effectively, keeping your yields safe from significant losses.

Maintenance and Safety Guidelines

The Hazard Class 2 designation means you must handle this product with proper care. Wearing full PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) is mandatory during the mixing and spraying process. The pre-harvest interval (PHI) of 30–40 days means you need to plan your spraying window carefully to avoid issues at harvest time. Limiting usage to two applications per season is more than enough to maintain pest pressure at low levels while preventing resistance build-up.

This product is stable, dissolves easily, and does not clog sprayer filters. It is classic Belgian quality—straightforward, effective, and reliable if you stick to the application rates and monitor the weather conditions appropriately.
