Description

Marshal

Marshal is a cyhalothrin-based organic compound that is used as a pesticide. It is a pyrethroid, a class of synthetic insecticides that mimics the structure and insecticidal properties of the naturally occurring pyrethrin which comes from the flowers of chrysanthemums.

• It is highly effective against aphids, sucking and chewing insects, spider mites, caterpillars, thrips, whiteflies, etc.
• Marshal is indicated for combating insect pests of the following crops: Tomatoes, cotton, Macademia, grapes, peas, maize, sorghum, potatoes, dry beans, sweet corn, green beans, and controlling cutworm of all crops.

 

Active ingredients in Marshal

• Lambda-cyhalothrin (pyrethroid) 50 g/ℓ
• Lambda-Cyhalothrin 2.5 E.C.

 

Marshal: Product benefits

• Faster uptake and symptoms.
• Highest levels of long-term insect control.
• Greater consistency in a wider range of weather conditions.

 

Mixing instruction

• Make the mixture as indicated by half filling the spray tank with clean water.
• Afterward, start agitation and add the required amount.
• Fill with water to the required volume.

 

Ground application

Apply using a conventional high volume sprayer with hollow cone nozzles, giving a medium to fine droplet for adequate and even distribution. Do not spray wet plants.

 

Aerial application

• Aerial application of Marshal may only be done by a registered Aerial Application Operator.
• Ensure that the spray mixture is distributed evenly over the target area and that the loss of spray material during application is restricted to a minimum.
• It is therefore essential that the following criteria be met:

1. Volume: A spray mixture volume of 30 ℓ per hectare is recommended.
2. Droplet coverage: 30 to 40 droplets per cm² must be recovered at the target area.

 

Precautions

• Stop spraying if the wind speed exceeds 15 km/h.
• Stop spraying under turbulent, unstable, and dry conditions during the heat of the day.
• Spraying under temperature inversion conditions (spraying in or above the inversion layer) and/or high humidity conditions (relative humidity 80% and above) may lead to:

1. reduced efficacy due to suspension and evaporation of small droplets in the air (inadequate coverage).
2. damage to other sensitive crops and/or non-target areas through drifting of the suspended spray cloud away from the target field.
