Overview
About this product
Darton is a contact and stomach insecticide with acetamiprid, 500 g/L in a suspension concentrate. Acetamiprid, from the neonicotinoid class, acts as a competitive modulator of insect nicotinic acetylcholine receptors and disrupts the transmission of nerve impulses.
It penetrates the plant, acts translaminarly and moves acropetally to the young growth. Winter oilseed rape is protected against pollen beetle, rape bug, flea beetles, Ceutorhynchus weevils, rape weevil, pod midge and sawfly, sunflower against thrips, aphids, bugs and flea beetles, and apple against aphids, leaf rollers, codling moth, scale insects and moths.
No more than two treatments. 5 l canister.
