PRESIDENT GOLD 20 DP
KSh 745.00 – KSh 26,800.00
PRESIDENT GOLD 20 DP is available for purchase at Farmers Trend Virtual Agrovet, your trusted partner for high-quality agricultural inputs. We provide expert advice on pest management and offer a range of products to meet your farming needs. Whether you are storing grain on a small scale or managing large bulk storage facilities, PRESIDENT GOLD 20 DP is an essential tool for ensuring that your maize remains safe, pest-free, and ready for market or future use.
PRESIDENT GOLD 20 DP (Pirimiphos-methyl 18g/Kg + Deltamethrin 2g/Kg) is a specially formulated grain storage insecticide designed to provide long-lasting protection against some of the most common and damaging pests that attack stored maize, such as the maize weevil, larger grain borer, and red flour beetle. These pests, if left unchecked, can lead to significant losses in both quantity and quality of stored grain, affecting food security and farmer incomes. PRESIDENT GOLD 20 DP offers a dual-action defense by combining two potent insecticides: Pirimiphos-methyl and Deltamethrin, each with its own unique mode of action.
Detailed Product Information:
1. Active Ingredients:
- Pirimiphos-methyl (18g/Kg): This is an organophosphate insecticide that works by inhibiting the enzyme acetylcholinesterase in the nervous system of insects. This inhibition causes a buildup of acetylcholine, leading to paralysis and ultimately death. Pirimiphos-methyl is particularly effective against storage pests because of its ability to penetrate deeply into the grains, offering long-term protection even in large bulk storage situations.
- Deltamethrin (2g/Kg): A fast-acting synthetic pyrethroid, Deltamethrin works by affecting the sodium channels in the nerve cells of insects. This disruption leads to immediate knockdown of pests, paralyzing them and causing rapid death. Deltamethrin is known for its quick action, killing pests on contact, and is effective at lower doses, making it a safe and reliable choice for stored grain protection.
2. Target Pests:
PRESIDENT GOLD 20 DP is effective against a range of storage pests:
- Maize weevil (Sitophilus zeamais): A highly destructive insect known to bore holes into grains and cause significant weight loss and contamination.
- Larger grain borer (Prostephanus truncatus): This is considered one of the most damaging storage pests in maize, as it can destroy both the grain and the storage container due to its powerful mandibles.
- Red flour beetle (Tribolium castaneum): While not as directly destructive as the larger grain borer or maize weevil, red flour beetles cause grain quality to degrade by feeding on already damaged or broken grains, leading to mold development and further spoilage.
3. Mode of Action:
PRESIDENT GOLD 20 DP combines contact and residual control, ensuring that both immediate and long-term pest problems are handled effectively.
- Pirimiphos-methyl provides residual control, meaning it continues to protect the grain for extended periods after application. It penetrates deep into the grain mass, giving it the ability to control hidden or emerging pests that may not be immediately visible.
- Deltamethrin works on contact, offering a fast-acting solution that kills insects before they can reproduce or cause significant damage. It acts quickly to reduce active infestations.
4. Application Method:
For optimal results, careful application of PRESIDENT GOLD 20 DP is essential. Here’s how to properly use the product:
- Dosage: The recommended application rate is generally around 50g of product per metric ton of grain. Ensure to follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for specific dosage rates based on the extent of the infestation and the grain storage conditions.
- Preparation: Before applying, the grain should be clean and dry. This ensures better absorption of the insecticide and improved effectiveness.
- Application Process:
- For bulk storage: Apply the insecticide uniformly to the grain as it is loaded into the storage container, using a sprayer or dusting equipment to ensure even distribution. Make sure the top layer of the grain is well-treated, as this is often where pests are first introduced.
- For bagged storage: Apply directly to the exterior of the bags and the surrounding storage area to deter pests from entering the stored maize.
- Reapplication: While the product offers extended protection, it is advised to monitor grain storage areas regularly and reapply if there are signs of pest resurgence. Generally, one treatment can provide several months of protection, depending on environmental conditions.
5. Benefits of PRESIDENT GOLD 20 DP:
- Broad-Spectrum Control: It effectively manages multiple species of storage pests, providing all-around protection.
- Long-Lasting Residual Effect: Thanks to Pirimiphos-methyl, treated grains remain protected for extended periods, minimizing the need for frequent reapplication.
- Fast Knockdown: With Deltamethrin’s fast action, pests are killed on contact, stopping infestations in their tracks before they can cause significant damage.
- Cost-Effective: By reducing the need for multiple treatments and preventing significant post-harvest losses, the use of PRESIDENT GOLD 20 DP results in better grain quality and quantity, leading to higher profitability for farmers and grain handlers.
- Reduces Dependence on Fumigants: Unlike fumigants, which require sealed storage environments and specialized equipment, PRESIDENT GOLD 20 DP can be applied easily in open storage settings.
6. Safety Considerations:
As with all chemical products, it’s important to handle PRESIDENT GOLD 20 DP safely:
- Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Always wear gloves, protective clothing, and a mask when handling and applying the product to avoid inhalation and direct skin contact.
- Storage: Keep the product in its original container, tightly sealed, and stored in a cool, dry place out of reach of children and animals.
- Pre-Harvest Interval: If the grain is intended for human or animal consumption, make sure to observe the recommended pre-harvest interval or withdrawal period to ensure safety.
