Aphids, leafhoppers, thrips, and other piercing‑sucking pests are causing severe damage! High temperatures and low humidity create ideal conditions for these pests to multiply, and if control measures are not applied promptly, they can inflict serious harm on crops. Today, we’re introducing an excellent formulation for managing aphids, leafhoppers, thrips, and other sucking pests—offering rapid efficacy and long-lasting protection.

1. Formula Overview

This formulation is bromothalin–imidacloprid, a combination insecticide composed of imidacloprid and bromothalin. Imidacloprid, a first‑generation neonicotinoid, exerts primarily contact and stomach toxicity, with strong systemic penetration and translocation. It is widely used to control piercing‑sucking pests such as aphids, leafhoppers, thrips, leafhoppers, and psyllids, and can also be applied against soil‑borne pests like grubs and cutworms. Moreover, it exhibits low propensity for developing resistance; despite more than two decades of widespread use, its efficacy remains outstanding.

Deltamethrin is one of the most potent pyrethroid insecticides. Although it is a highly effective, low‑toxicity pyrethroid, its toxicity to pests is 100 times that of DDT, 80 times that of carbaryl, 550 times that of malathion, and 40 times that of parathion. It exerts both contact and stomach‑poisoning effects; its contact action is rapid and its knockdown efficacy is strong, capable of knocking down pests within 1–2 minutes.

2. Main Features

(1) Broad insecticidal spectrum: Bromothalin–imidacloprid not only controls a wide range of piercing‑sucking pests such as aphids, leafhoppers, thrips, leafhoppers, and psyllids, but also effectively manages cotton bollworm, cotton red bollworm, cabbage caterpillar, diamondback moth, beet armyworm, sweet potato armyworm, yellow cucumber beetle, striped flea beetle, peach fruit moth, pear fruit moth, peach twig borer, citrus leafminer, tea inchworm, tea hairy caterpillar, processionary caterpillars, tea leafroller, soybean pod borer, bean pod borer, bean leafroller, bean looper, sesame leafroller, sesame stem borer, cabbage white butterfly, painted lady butterfly, tobacco budworm, sugarcane borer, wheat armyworm, forest‑tree caterpillars, and processionary caterpillars—among dozens of other pests—and delivers the same efficacy with a single application as two applications.

(2) Rapid efficacy: Due to its action on the pest’s nervous system, bromcyhalin–imidacloprid can knock down pests within 1–2 minutes upon contact or ingestion of treated food, effectively halting further damage.

(3) Long residual efficacy: Bromcyhalin–imidacloprid not only exhibits contact and stomach toxicity but also demonstrates excellent systemic activity. After application, it is rapidly absorbed by stems and leaves and translocated throughout the plant, with a residual efficacy lasting approximately 14 days.

(4) Excellent safety: Bromothalonil‑Imidacloprid is a highly effective, low‑toxicity insecticide that exhibits strong toxicity against target pests, causes minimal environmental pollution, and is very safe for crops. When applied at the recommended dosage, it does not induce phytotoxicity, making it suitable for use with confidence.

(5) Wide applicability: It can be widely used on a variety of crops, including rice, wheat, corn, sorghum, rapeseed, peanut, soybean, sugar beet, sugarcane, flax, sunflower, alfalfa, cotton, tobacco, tea plants, cucumber, tomato, eggplant, pepper, Chinese cabbage, cabbage, cauliflower, apple, pear, peach, plum, jujube, persimmon, grape, chestnut, citrus fruits, banana, lychee, loquat, forest trees, ornamental flowers, traditional Chinese medicinal herbs, and turfgrass.

3. Instructions for Use

To control aphids, thrips, leafhoppers, planthoppers, psyllids, and other piercing‑sucking pests, apply 20% bromcyhalothrin–imidacloprid suspension at a rate of 20–30 grams per mu, diluted in 30 kilograms of water, as a uniform spray during the early stages of infestation. This formulation can kill the pests within 1–2 minutes, with a residual efficacy lasting approximately 14 days.

To control lepidopteran pests such as the cotton bollworm, tobacco cutworm, cabbage caterpillar, diamondback moth, and bean pod borer, apply a 20% bromocyhalothrin–imidacloprid suspension concentrate at a rate of 30–40 mL per mu, diluted in 30 kg of water, for uniform foliar spraying during the early larval stages. This formulation provides rapid knockdown and effectively prevents further pest damage.
