Deltagri is a non-systemic insecticide, which acts by contact and ingestion, providing broad spectrum control of chewing and sucking insects. With a high knockdown effect and residual activity, it affects the nerve transmission in the insect body.

Deltagri is formulated as an emulsifiable concentrate containing 2.5 percent deltamethrin. It is effective against several insect families, including Coleoptera, Homoptera, Heteroptera and Lepidoptera.

In Spain, its use has been authorized for a wide range of crops (fruit trees, olives, potatoes, sugar beet, tomato, pepper, vine, etc.) and Spain's Minister of Agriculture recently extended the label to include:

Cotton, to control Helicoverpa armigera, at a dose of 0.5 to 0.7 liters/hectare and a maximum of two applications.

Radishes and carrots, to control Coleoptera, Aphyds, caterpillars and leaf miners, at 0.3 to 0.5 liters/hectare and a maximum of three applications.

Asparagus, to control Crioceris asparagi, C. duodecempunctata, Thrips and Aphyds, at 0.3 to 0.5 liters/hectare and a maximum of two applications.

An additional benefit of this product is its repellent action and anti-feeding properties.
