Recommended Crops

How Sucking Pests Damage Crops

Thrips and aphids feed on plant sap or tender plant tissues. Heavy infestation can interfere with normal plant development and may lead to symptoms such as curling, yellowing, discoloration, distorted growth and reduced crop vigour.

Young leaves, shoots, flowers and other tender plant parts are particularly vulnerable. Regular crop scouting and treatment at the appropriate economic threshold can help limit damage before pest populations become severe.

Application and Dosage

The exact numerical dosage should be taken from the current Biostadt Tofello label or accompanying leaflet. An unverified rate should not be substituted from another insecticide or same-purpose product.

How to Use Biostadt Tofello

1. Inspect the crop carefully and identify the target sucking pest.
2. Confirm that the crop and pest are listed on the current Tofello label.
3. Measure the crop-specific recommended quantity accurately.
4. Partially fill the spray tank with clean water.
5. Add the measured quantity of Tofello while stirring.
6. Add the remaining required water and mix thoroughly.
7. Spray uniformly over the crop canopy.
8. Pay particular attention to tender shoots and the undersides of leaves where sucking pests may be present.

Best Time to Apply

Apply Tofello when the target pest first appears or when pest monitoring indicates that treatment is required. Early intervention can help prevent rapid population buildup and reduce the amount of crop damage caused by continued feeding.

For foliar spraying, choose suitable weather conditions and avoid application during strong wind, rainfall or excessive midday heat.

Spray Coverage Tips

• Ensure uniform coverage of the crop canopy.
• Direct spray toward tender shoots and growing points.
• Ensure coverage of the undersides of leaves where thrips and aphids may be concentrated.
• Use properly calibrated spraying equipment.
• Do not exceed the label-recommended dose.

Crop Protection Against Thrips

Thrips are small insects that commonly remain in protected plant areas such as young leaves, flowers and growing points. Their feeding can lead to distorted growth, surface scarring, discoloration and reduced plant vigour.

Thorough crop coverage is therefore important when using Tofello for thrips management.

Aphid Management

Aphids are sap-feeding insects that can multiply rapidly under favourable conditions. Infestations commonly develop on tender plant parts and can reduce crop vigour by continuously removing plant sap.

Regular scouting and timely application can help reduce aphid populations before severe infestation develops.

Responsible Pest Management

Use Tofello only according to the current registered label. Where repeated insecticide applications are required, integrate crop scouting, field sanitation and suitable insecticides with different modes of action according to local recommendations.

Avoid unnecessary repeated applications and maintain the recommended interval between treatments.

Safety Precautions

• Wear suitable gloves, protective clothing, eye protection and a mask during mixing and application.
• Avoid direct contact with the concentrate and spray solution.
• Avoid inhaling spray mist.
• Do not eat, drink or smoke while handling the product.
• Wash hands and exposed skin thoroughly after application.
• Keep children and animals away from pesticide storage and treated areas as directed on the label.
• Avoid contamination of ponds, canals and other water bodies.
