Maize

Features

LAMBDA 50 EC/JUDO 50 EC is a synthetic pyrethroid, IRAC group code 3 insecticide.
As a pyrethroid, lambda - cyhalothrin affects the nervous system of an insect resulting in paralysis and death.
Rapid knockdown effect.
Compatible with ADDITION 150 SC, PRIME 50 EC and Villa approved buffer and surfactant adjuvants.
As a contact insecticide it is absorbed quickly through the outer cuticle (exoskeleton) of the insect.
Affected larvae rapidly cease feeding and may fall off the crop.
Effective against first and second instar larvae of maize stalkborers.
May be applied by aerial application.
Single product for the control of a number of pests of maize.
In a tank mixture with ADDITION 150 SC, LAMBDA 50 EC / JUDO 50 EC may be applied by centre pivot irrigation.

Do's & Don'ts

Apply as soon as 10 % plants show damage or eggs are found on 5 % of the plants.
Direct spray into plant funnel area.
Use at least 3 litres water per 100 m row.
Water after application is essential to wash spray mixture into the funnel.
A second application may be required 10 to 14 days later.
Do not exceed the maximum of 3 applications per season.
For cutworm control apply only if the top 3 cm of the soil is moist.

Potato

Features

LAMBDA 50 EC acts on the nervous system of insects, and disturbs the function of neurons by interaction with the sodium channel (IRAC Insecticide Group Code 3).
LAMBDA 50 EC is a non-systemic insecticide with
contact action as well as repellent properties.
Destroys a wide range of pests (broad-spectrum pest control).
Provides a rapid knockdown effect.
Strongly adsorbed to soil and sediment organic matter therefore does not leach into ground water.
LAMBDA 50 EC has a PHI of 3 days which allows this product to be used throughout the season.
Excellent compatibility with a wide range of registered
Villa products.
Also registered for the control of cutworm on potatoes.

Do's & Don'ts

Apply 250 – 500 ℓ water per ha (ground application), depending on plant size.
Apply first treatment when plants are one month old, earlier if infestation occurred.
Repeat treatment every 10 – 14 days.
Ridge at least twice during the growing season.
Do not apply more than two applications per growing season to avoid African bollworm resistance.
Larvae should not exceed 10 mm in length, at time of application to ensure optimal control of susceptible bollworm populations.
Don’t use LAMBDA 50 EC or insecticides from the same group code exclusively. Alternate tank-mix with products from different insecticide group codes.
Water quality influences the effectiveness of LAMBDA 50 EC, pH should be between 5 and 8 and water used with preferably less than 1,000 p.p.m salt solutes.
