Aphox 500 WG

ACTION AND PROPERTIES OF APHOX 500 WG:

APHOX 500 WG is a powerful and merciless weapon in the fight against sucking pests, characterised by a unique, triple strike mechanism – it acts contact, stomach, and gaseous (in vapour phase). This means the product eliminates aphids not only by direct spraying of the insect or ingestion of the protected tissue, but also reaches the deepest crevices of shoots in vapour form, effectively neutralising pests hidden inside curled leaves. On the plant, the product exhibits systemic action, circulating with the sap and providing continuous protection of newly growing organs.

In modern crop protection, it is crucial that APHOX 500 WG demonstrates impeccable efficacy against aphid populations resistant to common active substances from the organophosphorus group. This makes it a strategic rotational tool in anti-resistance programmes, guaranteeing clean crops, high commercial yield, and phytosanitary safety even under intense pest pressure.

ACTIVE SUBSTANCE CONTENT:

pirimicarb (a carbamate compound) - 500 g/kg (50%)

Advantages of using APHOX 500 WG:

• Triple insect destruction power: Combined contact, stomach, and gaseous action eliminates aphids hidden in the most inaccessible parts of plants, including tightly curled leaves.
• Long-lasting systemic protection: The product penetrates tissues dynamically and circulates within the plant, protecting it internally from subsequent pest waves.
• Breaking resistance: Ruthlessly eliminates colonies of pests insensitive to organophosphorus insecticides, ensuring treatment reliability.
• High selectivity and crop purity: Rapid knock-down effect immediately stops feeding and reduces quality losses in orchard, vegetable, and field crops.

Pre-harvest interval:

• Head cabbage - 3 days
• Apple tree - 7 days
• Spring barley, winter wheat, spring wheat - 35 days

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - APHOX 500 WG:

How does the gaseous phase of APHOX 500 WG work?

Gaseous phase action means that the active substance evaporates from the leaf surface and penetrates all plant crevices. This allows effective control of aphids hidden under leaves or inside tightly curled leaf blades, where the spray liquid does not reach directly.

Does APHOX 500 WG control aphids resistant to other products?

Yes, the product based on pirimicarb from the carbamate group shows high efficacy against aphid populations resistant to organophosphorus compounds, making it an excellent component of insecticide rotation.
