Description

Tefluthrin is a highly active synthetic pyrethroid insecticide known for its exceptional soil activity and vapor-phase efficacy. This compound matters for its powerful control of soil-dwelling and early-season insect pests, providing a critical foundation for crop protection programs. It is primarily needed by the agricultural industry for use in seed treatments and soil applications for major crops like corn, sugar beet, and potatoes, offering long-lasting residual control.

Application

• Agricultural Seed Treatment: A cornerstone application for protecting germinating seeds and seedlings from soil pests such as wireworms, corn rootworms, and seed corn maggots.
• Soil Insecticide: Applied at planting or incorporated into soil to create a protective zone against a broad spectrum of below-ground insect larvae.
• Corn Production: Widely used in corn cropping systems for the prophylactic control of key pests that threaten yield from the outset.
• Vegetable Crop Protection: Employed in the cultivation of root and tuber vegetables, including potatoes and sugar beets, to safeguard the edible portion from insect damage.
• Nursery and Turf Management: Used in professional turf and ornamental plant production to manage soil-borne insect pests.
• Integrated Pest Management (IPM): Serves as a key component in IPM strategies due to its targeted activity and efficacy at low application rates.

Quality Control

Our Tefluthrin is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high performance. The product undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for assay and impurity profiling, to meet or exceed typical technical grade specifications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, key impurities, and physical properties is provided with each shipment to guarantee compliance with your requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at temperatures between 15-25°C. Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere for long-term stability. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
