Furadan Nematicide and Insecticide

Furadan Nematicide and Insecticide: Comprehensive Protection for Your Crops

Furadan delivers highly effective pest control, shielding a wide range of crops from soil-dwelling pests and harmful insects. Its dual-action mechanism, which combines systemic absorption and direct contact, ensures pests like rootworms, nematodes, and aphids are thoroughly eliminated. By protecting crops from root to stem, Furadan promotes healthier plants and significantly boosts yields.

Key Features

• Broad-Spectrum Control: Targets a variety of pests, including root-knot nematodes, wireworms, aphids, flea beetles, and more.
• Systemic Action: Plants absorb Furadan through their roots, allowing the insecticide to travel throughout the tissues and protect against pests feeding on roots, stems, and leaves.
• Contact Action: Destroys pests on direct contact with treated soil or plants, ensuring comprehensive pest elimination.
• No Phytotoxicity: Safeguards crops without causing harm when applied as directed.
• Improves Crop Health: Protects roots from pest-induced damage, fostering vigorous growth and higher yields.

How Furadan Works

Furadan operates through both systemic and contact mechanisms. When applied to the soil, it penetrates plant roots and travels through the plant’s tissues, exposing pests at any feeding point to lethal concentrations. Additionally, it kills pests that come into direct contact with treated soil. This dual action offers unparalleled versatility and efficiency in pest control.

Application Methods

You can apply Furadan to various parts of the crop environment, depending on the pest type and infestation stage. Farmers often use it during planting or as a sidedress later in the growing season.

Soil Application

• Broadcasting: Spread granules evenly over the soil at 7–10 kg per hectare, then incorporate them into the top 2–3 inches of soil.
• In-Furrow: Apply directly into planting furrows to provide early root protection against soil pests.
• Watering: After soil application, water the treated area to activate the insecticide effectively.

Sidedress Application

• Base Application: Apply granules around the base of growing plants to protect roots from nematodes and other soil pests.

Foliage Application

• Mixing with Water: Combine Furadan with water according to the label instructions and spray it on foliage to target pests like aphids, thrips, and whiteflies.
