Deltamethrin is a pyrethroid insecticide that kills insects on contact and through digestion. It is used to control apple and pear suckers, plum fruit moth, caterpillars on brassicas, pea moth, aphids (apples, plums, hops), winter moth (apples and plums), codling and tortrix moths (apples).
Deltamethrin is a synthetic insecticide based structurally on natural pyrethrins, which rapidly paralyze the insect nervous system giving a quick knockdown effect . Crop protection uses include: Coleoptera (2.5??7.5 g /ha), Heteroptera (5.0??7.5 g /ha), Homoptera (6.2??12.5 g /ha), Lepidoptera (5.0??12.5 g /ha) and Thysanoptera (5??10 g /ha) in cereals, citrus, cotton, grapes, maize, oilseed rape, soya beans, top fruit and vegetables.
Deltamethrin controls Acrididae (5.0??12.5 g /ha), and is recommended against locusts. Soil surface sprays (2.5??5.0 g /ha) control Noctuidae.
Deltamethrin is used against indoor crawling and flying insects (12.5 mg/m2) and pests of stored grain (0.25??0.5 g /t) and timber (Blattodea, Culicidae, Muscidae). Dip or spray (12.5??5 mg/l), and pour-on (0.75 mg/kg b.w.) applications give good control of Muscidae, Tabanidae, Ixodidae and other Acari on cattle, sheep and pigs, etc. |
