For the control of aphids in a range of agricultural and horticultural crops without harming beneficial predators
Pirimisect provides excellent results against aphids by a combined contact, systemic and fumigatory action
Short withholding period
Pirimisect is a specific aphidicide that is used in many different crops such as forage brassicas cereals, vegetable crops, apples, potatoes, stonefruit and specialist small seed crops. It can also be used over flowering crops.
It is aphid specific and safe to aphid predators such as lacewings, ladybirds and other predator mites. It is also safe to use over flowering crops late in the evening once the bees have finished working.
Application
Pirimisect is used in many different crops, to control many species of aphids. Therefore it is always best to refer to the label for the correct application for the situation and target species.
Pirimisect acts by direct contact and also moves through the leaf to kill aphids feeding on the underside of the leaf (translaminar action). It also has a fumigant action, especially in warm weather.
