FORCE

Wireworms can cause serious damage to potato crops: their larvae bore into tubers, leaving numerous tunnels and reducing the marketable quality of the produce. In onions, another common pest is the onion fly. To protect crops from soil-dwelling insects, farmers use FORCE insecticide from Syngenta, based on tefluthrin. The product is designed for direct application to the soil.

How Does FORCE Insecticide Work?

FORCE acts on pests in several ways. Tefluthrin has contact activity, repels insects, and also acts in the vapor phase. This allows the protective effect to spread within the treated soil zone and helps reduce the risk of damage to the underground parts of plants.

The granular formulation provides gradual release of the active ingredient and long-lasting crop protection. According to the manufacturer, the protection period can last up to 45 days. This is particularly important during the early stages of plant development, when damage to roots and tubers can significantly affect future yields.

Application on Potatoes and Onions

FORCE insecticide is used on potatoes to protect against wireworms and on onions against a range of soil-dwelling pests, including onion flies. The granules are applied to the soil during planting or sowing using equipment designed for precise distribution of the product.

This application method helps create a protective zone around the crop and provides plants with more favorable conditions for development.
