Mainspring

MAINSPRING ACTION:

Mainspring is a high-quality insecticide in the form of water-dispersible granules (WG), designed for the professional protection of valuable crops. Its exceptional effectiveness results from its dual action: contact and stomach. After application, Mainspring acts on the plant systemically and translaminarly, meaning the active substance is quickly distributed within the leaf tissues, reaching feeding pests even where the spray did not directly contact. Mainspring is intended for effective control of pests on ornamental plants grown exclusively in permanently constructed greenhouses isolated from the growing medium. The high content of the active substance cyantraniliprole, classified in IRAC group 28, ensures rapid and long-lasting protection effects.

Advantages of using Mainspring:

- Versatile action: Combines contact and stomach effects for maximum efficacy.

- Systemic and translaminar protection: Ensures reaching pests feeding on the underside of leaves or inside plant tissues.

- WG form: Granules for preparing a water suspension are convenient for measuring and application.

- High concentration: Contains 400 g/kg cyantraniliprole, translating to effective pest control.

- Specialist use: Ideal for protecting ornamental plants in professional greenhouses.

MAINSPRING ACTIVE SUBSTANCE CONTENT:

cyantraniliprole (compound from the anthranilic diamide group) – 400 g/kg (40%).

USE OF THE PLANT PROTECTION PRODUCT IN SMALL-SCALE CULTIVATIONS AND APPLICATIONS

The user alone is responsible for the effectiveness and phytotoxicity of the plant protection product used in small-scale cultivations.

Ornamental plant mother stocks and ornamental seed production (cultivation on non-soil growing medium, medium completely covered)

Pests: golden twin-spot moth Chrysodeixis chalcites, western flower thrips (medium control level), warm-loving leaf miner (population reduction), onion leaf miner.

Maximum / recommended dose for single application: 0.01% (10 g/100 l water).

Application timing: apply the product from the second leaf stage (BBCH 12) until the end of the growing cycle.

Recommended water volume: 200-1500 l/ha.

Recommended spraying: fine droplet.

Maximum number of treatments per growing cycle: 2.

Interval between treatments: at least 7 days.

Additional recommendations:

When controlling western flower thrips, to enhance effectiveness, it is recommended to add a bait containing a sugar mixture at 125 ml per 100 l of solution.

For control of warm-loving leaf miner, the best results are achieved by applying the treatment at the first larval stage of the pest.
