Spintor 240 SC Sumin

MODE OF ACTION OF SpinTor 240 SC:

SpinTor 240 SC is an innovative insecticidal preparation obtained through the natural fermentation of the bacterium Saccharopolyspora spinosa. The product features a powerful, triple mode of action – it exhibits contact, stomach, and ovicidal effects on pests. The active substance rapidly destabilises the insect's nerve cells, causing paralysis. The first signs of the product's effect are visible within minutes after application, and complete elimination of the pest occurs within just a few hours, minimising further plant damage.

On the sprayed plant, SpinTor 240 SC acts both on the surface and internally (within young leaves). It penetrates deeply into the youngest plant tissues, making it completely rainfast and effectively eliminating pests hidden inside vegetative crevices. The product shows the highest activity in controlling larval stages of insects and caterpillars, making it an indispensable tool in modern and safe protection of home vegetable and berry gardens.

ACTIVE SUBSTANCE CONTENT:

Spinosad: Spinosyn A, Spinosyn D (substance from the spinosyn group) - 240 g/l (22.72%)

Advantages of using SpinTor 240 SC:

• Rapid knockdown effect: First symptoms of pest paralysis occur within minutes, with total insect death within hours of spraying.
• Triple control mechanism: Acts by contact, stomach action, and ovicidal effect, effectively eliminating various developmental stages of pests.
• Surface and internal protection: Perfectly protects young leaves externally and penetrates inside them, reaching pests feeding within tissues.
• Natural origin and short pre-harvest interval: Product based on biological fermentation, featuring an exceptionally short pre-harvest interval (only 3 days for most crops).
