Rufast

Targeted control of Thrips, Mites, Fruit Moth and Leaf Hoppers

Rufast^TM is a specialist, high performance pyrethroid insecticide for the specific control of thrips and mites in fruit, vines and vegetable crops as well as offering unparalleled efficacy against Oriental Fruit Moth, Leaf hoppers and Psyllids.

Highly Selective Pyrethroid

Rufast is based on acrinathrin, a unique pyrethroid possessing the chemical structure in a cis-configuration around the double bond and the only pyrethroid with an carboxylic ester moiety in the vinyl-part of the acid. Thanks to this unique chemical structure, acrinathrin is highly specific in its spectrum of action, offering superior efficacy against, in particular, thrips and mite species. The highly specific levels of selectivity combined with a favourable toxicological profile means that Rufast is one of only very few pyrethroids accepted in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programmes. 

Rufast formulations are positioned under the WHO classification system as 'U' i.e Unlikely to present acute hazard in normal use. Additionally reduced use of organic solvents further reduces the impact on the environment
