Pilarquim advances in Guatemala

Its agricultural fungicide, Pilartep 34.5 SC (Pyraclostrobin + Tebuconazole 345g/L SC), combines two active ingredients to deliver both preventive and curative properties. Pilartep is of higher quality in its formulation since it has a much smaller particle size, which allows it to be absorbed more effectively by the leaves of plants; it contains dispersing agents that reduce the surface tension of the mixture, which provides greater dispersion on the surface of plant tissues. Soon, field trials will be set up for different crops such as coffee, bananas, melons and vegetables in order to highlight the efficiency of Pilartep in controlling the main diseases that affect these crops. 
 

The agricultural herbicide, Pilargold 48 CS (S-Metolachlor 480g/L CS), is a selective pre-emergent for the control of grass, some broadleaf weeds and sedges. With an innovative slow-release microencapsulated formulation, Pilargold is more environmentally friendly and delivers a long-lasting residue control in the field. It can work on peanuts, corn, sugarcane, solanaceae, cucurbit, vegetables, strawberries, orchards, etc. In addition, it is a great alternative to be mixed with other herbicides to expand the spectrum of weed control.
 

Pestrin 28 ZC agricultural insecticide (Lambda-cyhalothrin + Clothianidin 280g/L ZC) is a mixture to control a wide spectrum of pests, in a special formulation that comes in a suspension of microcapsules (CS + SC), giving it the advantage of a controlled release of its active ingredients; it has a greater stability, high resistance to environmental degradation, is less toxic and causes less damage to human health. It has an excellent knockdown effect, a longer duration and is systemic. Since January 2020, Pilarquim has carried out several field trials on crops such as tomatoes, chrysanthemums, cabbages and potatoes. The performance of Pestrin 28 ZC in different pests proved excellent. In the case of chrysanthemums, some field trials were undertaken in areas affected by thrips with the objective of demonstrating its top-notch pest control. The result showed that Pestrin reduced the population of insects quicker compared to the most popular insecticides in the market. At the same time, a long-lasting residual control was also observed, and the pest population remained low even six days after application. Similar results have been observed in field trials to control potato psyllids. Semi-commercial plots will continue to carry out trials with Pestrin in different crops and pests to better publicize the product.
