Insecticides
Proteus®
Proteus is an insecticide for orchards, grapevines and vegetables. It contains two active ingredients from chemical groups with different mechanisms of operation. The first is the active ingredient Thiacloprid, a systemic ingredient of the chloronicotinyl group, which acts as a contact poison and stomach poison. The second active ingredient, Deltamethrin, is a highly effective pyrethroid. The product descriptor (OD) is a new development by Bayer. This descriptor improves the distribution of the active ingredients on the surface of the foliage, the penetration of the systemic ingredient both in terms of penetration speed and in terms of the duration of the active ingredient's active period.

Mode of Action
- Thiacloprid acts as an agonist of the nicotine acetylcholine receptor in the central nervous system, thus disturbing the proper synaptic signal-transmission, which lead to a disorder of the nervous system and finally causes the death of the insect. Deltamethrin is an acute contact and stomach poison, with systemic properties. It acts by blocking the sodium channel at a cellular level, leading to paralysis and very fast knockdown
