Active Ingredients

Biochemistry: Inhibits impulse transmission along nerves, caused by blocking the passage of sodium ions through sodium channels in nerve membranes, resulting in a rapid "shock effect" and consequent mortality. Mode of action: Non-systemic contact insecticide. Acts on the central and peripheral nervous systems at very low doses. Use: Control of a wide range of sucking insects (especially Lepidoptera, Coleoptera and Hemiptera) in fruit (including citrus), vegetables, vines, cereals, maize, beet, rape, potatoes, cotton, rice, soybeans, forestry and other crops. Control of cockroaches, mosquitoes, flies, and other insect pests in the field of public health.

Biochemistry: Acts on the insect nervous system, disrupting neuron function through interaction with the sodium channel. Mode of action: Non-systemic contact insecticide with good residual activity on treated plants. Also has an anti-feeding action. Use: Control of a wide range of insects, in particular Lepidoptera, but also Coleoptera, Diptera, Hemiptera, and other classes, in fruit (including citrus), vines, vegetables, potatoes, cucurbits, lettuce, peppers, tomatoes, cereals, corn, soybeans, beans, cotton, coffee, cocoa, rice, pecans, rapeseed, beets, ornamentals, forestry, etc. Also controls mosquitoes, cockroaches, flies and other insect pests in public health.

Biochemistry: Quinone inhibitor: Inhibits mitochondrial respiration by blocking electron transfer between cytochrome b and cytochrome c1, at the ubiquinol oxidation site. Controls pathogenic strains resistant to 14-demethylase inhibitors, phenylamide dicarboxamides and benzimidazoles. Mode of action: Systemic preventive, curative and translaminar eradicant fungicide. Inhibits spore germination and mycelial growth. Use: Controls pathogens such as Erysiphe graminis, Puccinia spp., Leptosphaeria nodorum, Septoria tritici and Pyrenophora teres on cereals; - Pyricularia oryzae and Rhizoctonia solani on rice; - Plasmopara viticola and Uncinula necator; Sphaerotheca fuliginea on vines - Pseudoperonospora cubensis on cucurbits; - Phytophthora infestans and Alternaria solani on potatoes and tomatoes; - Mycosphaerella arachidis, Rhizoctonia solani and Sclerotium rolfsii on peanuts; - Monilinia spp. and Cladosporium carpophilum on peaches; - Mycosphaerella spp. on banana; - Colletotrichum spp. and Guignardia citricarpa on citrus; - Hemileia vastatrix Colletotrichum spp. on coffee.

Biochemistry: Inhibition of respiration. Copper-II-ion (Cu ++) is taken up by spores during germination and accumulated until a high enough concentration is reached to kill the spore cell; activity is limited to prevention of spore germination. Mode of action: Preventive fungicidal and bactericidal action. Deposits must be on the crop before fungal spores begin to germinate. Use: Control of Peronosporaceae in vines, hops and crucifers; Alternaria and Phytophthora in potatoes; Septoria in celery; Septoria, Leptosphaeria and Mycosphaerella in cereals,

Biochemistry: Acts as an antagonist by binding to postsynaptic nicotinic receptors in the central nervous system of insects. Mode of action: Systemic and contact insecticide with translaminar activity. Easily absorbed by plants and roots. Use: Control of sucking insects, including leafhoppers, aphids, thrips and whiteflies; also effective against soil insects, termites and certain species of biting insects, such as rice water weevil and Colorado beetle on rice, cotton, cereals, corn, sugar beet, potatoes, vegetables, citrus, pome and stone fruits.

Biochemistry: Affects susceptible weeds through inhibition of the enzyme acetolactate synthase (ALS). Inhibition of ALS leads to rapid arrest of cell division and subsequent growth processes in plants. Mode of action: selective systemic herbicide, absorbed by foliage and roots, with rapid translocation to meristematic tissues. Use: post-emergence control of annual and perennial weeds (e.g. Butomus umbellatus, Scirpus maritimus, Scirpus mucronatus, Alisma plantago-aquatica, Sparganium erectum, Cyperus spp., Typha spp., etc.).

Biochemistry: Steroid biochemistry demethylation inhibitor (ergosterol). Mode of action: Systemic fungicide with protective, curative and eradicating action. Rapidly absorbed into vegetative plant parts, with translocation mainly acropetally. Use: As a seed treatment, tebuconazole is effective against various anthrax diseases and cereal bunt such as Tilletia spp., Ustilago spp. and Urocystis spp. and also against Septoria nodorum and Sphacelotheca reiliana in maize. In spray, tebuconazole controls numerous pathogens in various crops, including: - Rust species (Puccinia spp.), powdery mildew (Erysiphe graminis), scald (Rhynchosporium secalis), Septoria spp., Pyrenophora spp., Cochliobolus sativus, and scab (Fusarium spp.) in cereals. - Leaf spot (Mycosphaerella spp.), leaf rust (Puccinia arachidis), and Sclerotium, in peanuts. - Black Cercosporiosis (Mycosphaerella fijiensis), on bananas. - Stem rot (Sclerotinia sclerotiorum), Alternaria spp. stem canker (Leptosphaeria maculans), and Pyrenopeziza brassicae, in rapeseed. - Phakopsora pachyrhizi, in soybeans. - Monilinia spp. powdery mildew (Podosphaera leucotricha), Sphaerotheca pannosa, scab (Venturia spp.), white rot (Botryosphaeria dothidea) in apples, pome fruit and stone fruit; - Powdery mildew (Uncinula necator), in grapevines. - leaf spot (Phaeoisariopsis de griseola), on beans; early blight (Alternaria solani), on tomatoes and potatoes.

Biochemistry: Affects susceptible weeds through inhibition of the enzyme acetolactate synthase (ALS). Inhibition of ALS leads to rapid arrest of cell division and subsequent growth processes in plants. Mode of action: Selective, post-emergence herbicide, acting mainly by foliar absorption, with little or no soil activity. Chlorosis symptoms appear in affected weeds in days, with necrosis and death occurring after 10-25 days under optimal conditions. Use: Post-emergence control of broadleaf weeds in cereal crops, including wheat, barley, oats, rye, and triticale.

Mode of action: acts as a plant growth regulator due to its physiological and morphological effects at extremely low concentrations. Use: To improve fruit set in clementines and pears. - To loosen and elongate bunches and increase berry size in grapes. - To control fruit ripening by delaying the development of yellow color in lemons. - To reduce blotchy rind and delay rind aging in navel oranges. - To counter the effects of viral cherry yellows diseases in sour cherries. - To produce uniform seedling growth in rice. - To lift dormancy and stimulate germination in potatoes. - To extend the harvest season by lengthening maturity in artichokes. - To increase rhubarb yield; To increase malting barley quality. - To produce brighter color, firmer fruit, and increase cherry size. - To reduce internal browning and increase prune yield. - To increase fruit set and yield in tangelos and mandarins. - To improve fruit set in blueberries. - To advance flowering and increase strawberry yield.
