Veftnor ®

Active ingredients: Imidacloprid 350 gr/L

Formulation: SC (Suspension Concentration)

Properties:

A systemic insecticide with a wide spectrum of action. A versatile pesticide which can be used for the spraying of green parts, root collar spraying (soil spraying) and chemigation via drip irrigation. Excellent systemic action from roots. Exerts its action by contact and stomach. Has a very long effective period. When applied with irrigation water, it is taken in the the soil by roots and is carried to the leaves; remains effective against pests for 2-3 months. Due to its mechanism of action, soil spraying is not harmful for predators and parasites.

Method of Application:

For management of vineyard thrips, pest population should be monitored and spraying should be done when buds start to open, first leaflets appear and at least 2-3 thrips imagos or larvae are found on buds or leaflets. One application is sufficient.
Root Collar Treatment: Against wireworms in tomato: First, number of plants per decare is found and the amount of water to be used per decare is calculated using 100-150 ml solution per plant. The amount of water found is poured into a container and mixed with 100 ml pesticide. This solution is applied to the collar root of each plant as feeding water, using 100-150 ml per plant.
Drip Chemigation: First application is started when whiteflies are seen in tomato. First, the drip irrigation system is turned on for 5-6 minutes to soak the plants' roots. Then, the required amount of pesticide (100 ml/decare) is mixed in a tank and given to the system within a few minutes. The irrigation system is run for another 5-6 minutes so that the pesticide solution reaches the plant's root depth. This application provides at least 40 days' protection against whiteflies. For pruned eggplants, drip irrigation should be used to soak the plant's effective root depth (15-20 cm) first. The irrigation system is run for approximately 2 hours to achieve this. Then, the required amount of pesticide (100 ml/decare) is mixed with water in the fertilizer tank and fed to the system within a few minutes. Irrigation is maintained for another 15-20 minutes so that the pesticide can reach effective root depth.
