Vantex is the latest generation of insecticides, which explains its effectiveness, so it can be used on many crops against a number of common pests. Among preparations containing pyrethroids, the agent has increased activity, is stable due to the active substance, which is located in a 1-isomer molecule, and also because of the release form - microencapsulated suspension.

Insecticide "Vanteks" is able to effectively inhibit gnawing and sucking insects from different orders, and both larvae and adult insects are exposed to its action. In addition to insects, it also destroys ticks.

Consumption rate and application of insecticide

Norm when breeding Vantex:

• wheat, barley - 0.06-0.07;
• rapeseed - 0.04-0.06;
• pastures - 0.06-0.08 (early instar larvae), 0.12-0.16 (late instar larvae);
• apple tree - 0.2-0.35;
• sugar beet - 0.05-0.07 (against aphids, weevils, flea beetles), 0.07-0.15 (against moths);

All crops, except plants in the pasture against locusts, are sprayed when pests appear during the growing season. The consumption of the solution is different: for field crops and for pastures - 200-400 l per ha, apple trees - 1000-1500 l per ha, when spraying from an airplane - 25-100 l per ha.

Pastures are sprayed when larvae of younger and older ages appear. Processing is single or double, the waiting period is different for different crops - from 7 to 56 days.

Spraying with Vantex solution should be started as soon as there are signs of pests.
