ORLİNA® 120 SC

Method of Application

To achieve the best results, ORLİNA® 120 SC must be used at the recommended dosage. As it mixes readily with water, it can be applied using all types of application tools and equipment. As it is a plant protection product with stomach and contact action, care must be taken to ensure complete coverage of all plant surfaces during application. To prevent harm to non-target organisms and avoid waste, application is recommended in such a way that the droplets merge on the branches and leaves of the crop plant without forming runoff. For applications against flower thrips, it is recommended that the spray mixture be applied in a manner that ensures full penetration during the flowering period.

In tomatoes (greenhouse), pheromone traps with sex attractants (1 trap per greenhouse) are used immediately after planting in order to detect adult emergence of the tomato leaf miner. The traps are checked once a week, and when the first adult is detected in the trap, at least 100 plants are inspected depending on the size of the production area. Eggs, larvae, and pupae are searched for on the flowers, leaves, stems, fruits, and shoots of the plants. If 3 out of 100 plants are found to be infested with any biological stage of the pest, an application is carried out. More than two applications within a single production period are not recommended. 

In peppers (greenhouse), cucumbers (greenhouse), and gherkins (greenhouse), for control of flower thrips, 25 plants per decare are randomly selected. In small-leaved plants, two leaves are taken from each plant, while in large-leaved plants, one leaf is taken from each of the 25 plants. Thrips adults and larvae are then counted under a binocular microscope. Additionally, two flowers randomly taken from each plant are shaken onto a white sheet of paper in a tray, and the fallen thrips larvae and adults are counted. Control measures are applied when the number of thrips per leaf (adults + larvae) reaches 10 in small-leaved plants and 20 in large-leaved plants. More than two applications within a single production period are not recommended.

To determine the timing of control against flower thrips in strawberries, the strawberry field is randomly surveyed from different directions and at least 100 flowers are inspected. Since the pest causes damage during the flowering period of the plant, inspections should be carried out at least once or twice a week starting from the flowering of the earliest variety, and sampling should continue in all varieties until the flowers have fully opened. Based on the inspection results, an application is carried out when the population density reaches an average of 10 thrips per flower. Applications are carried out before the flowering period when pollinator activity is most intense, or before 10% of the plants have begun to flower. More than two applications within a single production period are not recommended.

In potatoes, when the daily average temperature reaches 14–15°C, the field is entered along the diagonals and the pest’s eggs, larvae, and adults are searched for on the plants to monitor the Colorado potato beetle. The presence of the pest at any developmental stage indicates that the field is infested. If an application is to be made against the first generation, it should be carried out when the first mature larvae (fourth instar) are observed on the plants. If an application is to be made against the second generation, it should be carried out after egg hatching has been completed. During this period, depending on the insect population density, the damage may be tolerated by the plant and therefore an application may not be necessary. However, studies have shown that damage of up to 20% on potato plant leaves caused by the Colorado potato beetle can be tolerated by the plant without any reduction in yield. This rate may increase up to 40% depending on the phenological stage and growth of the plant. More than two applications within a single production period are not recommended.

In potatoes, pheromone traps are placed in the potato field immediately after plant emergence for monitoring purposes against the potato tuber moth. The traps are checked at weekly intervals. When the first adult is caught in the trap, the first application is carried out; the second application is made one month later, and the third application is made 15 days before harvest. More than two applications within a single production period are not recommended.

MIXABILITY STATUS: It is not recommended to mix with other plant protection products.
