FAQs

Control dose – What is the recommended dose and how is it determined according to infestation levels?

For Cibus BB, the average dose is 4 kg per hectare, although this depends on pest pressure, the crop, and timing. In situations of high pest pressure, split applications are recommended, monitoring 7 days before sowing and applying a complementary dose if necessary.

Speed of action – How long does the product take to work?

Within 48 hours it provides up to 80% control.

Control and management strategies – What are the best strategies to control them?

If the population is high, split applications can be carried out: one to reduce the adult population and another to control juveniles. The pest cannot be completely eradicated, but it can be managed to bring it down to acceptable levels.

Application thresholds – What dose of bait should I apply and how can I adjust it to the conditions of my field?

The dose depends on the initial situation and the farmer’s strategy. Download the app to obtain personalised recommendations.

Timing of application – When is the best time to apply control products, considering the pest’s life cycle?

The best time is when adults are present, to prevent them from leaving offspring. However, if all stages are found, repeated applications are necessary to control overlapping generations.

Life cycle and behaviour – How do they reproduce, in which crops do they cause damage, and at what growth stage do they attack?

The main damage occurs during crop establishment, especially in legumes such as soybean and chickpea, as well as in sunflower due to its lower planting density.
