Vantacor

Professional pest control: Why Vantacor is an essential tool

In modern intensive farming, the speed of response to pest outbreaks like cotton bollworm or European corn borer determines the final yield. Vantacor by FMS Ukraine is a systemic insecticide designed for high-efficiency protection. By utilizing chlorantraniliprole, it targets the ryanodine receptors in the pest's muscles, leading to immediate cessation of feeding, effectively shielding your crops from further damage even before the pests perish.

Field application scenarios

Agronomists utilize Vantacor within integrated pest management (IPM) strategies for several key operations:

• Corn production: Acts as a powerful deterrent against the European corn borer. Its systemic movement within the plant provides protection for emerging leaves and ears.
• Vegetable crops (potatoes, tomatoes, cabbage): Essential for controlling lepidopteran pests, including the garden webworm and various cutworms.
• Orchards and Vineyards: Given its low application rate (0.035–0.05 L/ha), it is highly cost-effective and fits perfectly into schedules requiring minimized chemical loads.

Best practices for use

Vantacor comes as a suspension concentrate, making it highly compatible with standard tank mix partners. As a systemic insecticide, it requires thorough coverage of the foliage during the vegetative stage to ensure optimal uptake. Since it is limited to a maximum of two applications per season, it is best used at peak pest pressure periods to maximize its residual control capabilities. By rotating this product with different modes of action, farm managers can effectively manage resistance, ensuring the long-term viability of their pest control programs.
