Totem ZC

Totem^TM ZC is a powerful insecticide combination for control of chewing and sucking pests in apple and vegetables containing the fully systemic insecticide, imidacloprid, plus the world’s most active pyrethroid, gamma cyhalothrin. This ideal combination of two leading chemistries in a novel ZC formulation allows trans-stemic movement of active ingredient into leaves with extended residual control.

Resistance Management

Whether pest resistance is a reality or a threat then Totem ZC can be an excellent pest management tool. Totem ZC combines two active ingredients with complimentary modes of action. There is no evidence of cross resistance between Gamma Cyhalothrin and Imidacloprid, meaning that if the target pest has tolerance to one product, in all likelihood, the other with function well.

Totem ZC is based on Cheminova’s proprietary ZC formulation offering quick knockdown and extended residual control. Totem ZC is a water based formulation combining Imidacloprid SC and Gamma Cyhalothrin CS resulting in a high flash point for easy storage and transportation. Environmental friendly additives give a reduced odour with essential advantages of excellent crop safety and improved operator safety.
