Descriere produs
PROPERTIES:
- Affirm is a naturally derived insecticide obtained via fermentation, controlling a wide range of Lepidoptera in fruit, grape, and vegetable crops. It has a rapid “shock” effect on target insects, acting through contact and ingestion.
ADVANTAGES:
- Affirm is rainfast and offers long-lasting protection through its dual ovicidal-larvicidal activity. It is selective for the environment and beneficial insects, with a favorable residue profile.
- High efficacy against codling moth and fruit tree leafroller. Thanks to translaminar action, it penetrates plant tissues within 2 hours after application and forms reservoirs of active substance, protecting it from rain, UV, and temperature fluctuations, ensuring up to 14 days of protection in apples. Residues on leaves self-degrade within 2 hours. Effectiveness remains consistent even at extreme temperatures.
