Tom

Reliable crop protection with «Tom»: field experience

In modern farming, you cannot afford to waste time when pests hit the fields. The «Tom» insecticide by China Chemical Industrial and Research Co. Ltd is a reliable tool in the arsenal of any agronomist. Being a contact and systemic insecticide based on alpha-cypermethrin, it acts swiftly, which is crucial for managing pests like weevils, flea beetles, and cabbage white butterflies before they cause irreversible damage.

Operational insights

The emulsifiable concentrate formulation is easy to handle; it mixes well with water without clogging nozzles, which makes it very practical during intense spraying campaigns. With a dosage of up to 0.5 l/ha, it offers high economic efficiency for large-scale operations.

• Versatility: From winter wheat and rapeseed to potatoes and orchards, «Tom» consistently delivers results across a wide range of crops.
• Application timing: You are allowed up to 2 treatments per season. Keeping to the 20-day pre-harvest interval is essential to comply with safety standards.
• Technical note: As this is a Class 2 hazard chemical, strict adherence to personal protective equipment protocols during mixing and spraying is non-negotiable.

My advice for effective use: prioritize even coverage. Because of its contact action, ensure your sprayer calibration allows the droplets to reach all parts of the plant canopy. This ensures that even the most hidden pests, such as pod borers or meadow moths, are effectively controlled upon contact with the spray solution.
