Granfos - Granulated phosphorus organ. soil insecticide for soil pest control, Kyiv region.

Granfos - Granular organophosphate soil insecticide for controlling soil pests with high efficiency and long-term fumigant action.
Active substance: Chlorpyrifos, 100 g/kg Chemical group: Organophosphorus compounds Preparative formula: Water-soluble granules Method of action: Contact-intestinal Toxicity class: WHO classification: II class (moderately dangerous) Compatibility: It is possible to use simultaneously, but it is necessary to check for compatibility in advance. Container: 20 kg, the price is indicated for 1 kg.

Advantages of the drug Granfos:
• "Granfos" acts against soil pests (larvae of winter gnawing scoops, beetles, beetle larvae, wireworms, false wireworms, corn beetle larvae, etc.).
• Reliably protects plant roots from damage by pests, thanks to a long-term fumigant effect.
• As a result of less negative impact from pests, even with a significant number of them, supports the field similarity of the culture.
• The action of the drug begins immediately after entering the soil.
• The main advantage that distinguishes "Granfos" from other soil insecticides is that the drug is effective even at a minimum concentration in the soil environment, which makes it possible to paralyze the pest due to the blocking of the nervous system (acetylcholine).
• "Granfos" is not a systemic drug, but manifests its effect through contact and gastric exposure. As a result, the drug does not accumulate in the plant, and the vast majority has a purely contact effect.

The contact action occurs immediately after introduction into the soil, stopping the movement, functioning, and later the death of the pest due to blocking of the nervous system. The pest dies long before it reaches the cultivated plant.

Gastric action is less common. This is due to the fact that in most cases the pest dies before the drug reaches the stomach.

"Granfos" has insecticidal and nematocidal properties.

Insecticidal action:
Upon contact with a pest, "Granfos" exhibits a neuron-paralyzing effect, thereby making movement and the further process of vital activity impossible. The drug is not systemic and does not accumulate in the plant.

Nematocidal effect: "Granfos" is a fairly effective tool in the fight against soil nematodes. Due to the fumigant effect, the active substance (chlorpyrifos) affects the life processes of nematodes (growth and reproduction), and the neuron-paralyzing effect blocks their motor activity.

Prolonged effect:
The formula, size and structure of the granule are designed so that the active substance gradually spreads in the soil. Taking into account all factors of degradation of the active substance (pH, salinity, humidity) - the half-life of the active substance is 60-120 days.

Fumigant action:
"Granfos" binds quite well to the skeletal and capillary parts of the soil. Does not move during washing. After applying the drug, a protective barrier is formed around the application area at a distance of 15-20 cm, which repels and neutralizes potential pests.(//tractor-service.com)

Does not cause resistance.
"Granfos" does not belong to those drugs that lose their properties after repeated use. As a result of damage by this soil insecticide, the pest has no opportunity to develop resistance to the drug. "Granfos" is a guarantee of the effectiveness of the crop protection system.

Universal formula:
The structure of the drug is built in such a way as to maximize the limits of effective action on culture. Even after 60-120 days, secondary products of the substance also have a toxic effect on pests.

Phytotoxicity:
"Granfos", according to the norms and recommendations of the manufacturer, does not have phytotoxicity and does not have a negative effect on the growth and development of the culture. It is recommended to test the drug for compatibility on new varieties.

Regulation of application of Granfos:
Culture - Pests - Consumption rate, kg/ha
=Corn -A complex of soil pests: wireworms, false wireworms, larvae of roaches, larvae of nibbling scoops, larvae of the corn beetle -3-5 kg/ha -larvae of the western corn beetle (Diabrotica virgifera virgifera) --From 5 kg/ha when up to 10% of the area is affected.
---From 12-15 kg/ha with total damage.
