Leimay is a fungicide of preventive and antisporulant action for the control of late blight caused by phytophthora infestans , formulated based on amisulbrom, a new active ingredient belonging to the group of sulfonamides.
It has contact activity with certain translaminarity with preventive-protective and antisporulant action.

Matsuri is an insecticide with high flipping power, which acts on the main pests of the potato and soybean crop. It is formulated with 12.5% esfenvalerate, 10% Bifenthrin and 2.4% Abamectin as an Emulsifiable Concentrate.
