Dai Shanggao's first pollution-free molluscicide has been launched in Portugal, with a patented dual-molecule formula enhancing drug efficacy
Published 2025년 5월 30일
Tridge summary
Dai Shanggao claims that IRonMAX PRO is the first molluscicide classified as non-hazardous, with efficacy comparable to traditional reference products. The company states that this is due to its powerful target attraction, palatability, and extensibility, enabling rapid action against these mollusks while maintaining good effectiveness under adverse conditions.
According to Dai Shanggao, IRonMAX PRO works through ingestion by disrupting metabolism through iron overload in the digestive glands. As a result, pests stop feeding and ultimately die. To attract pests, the product uses Dai Shanggao's patented dual-molecule formula Colzactive. This makes the product more attractive to slugs and snails than the crops themselves. The attractants in the product make it easier for mollusks to detect the agent and increase its effectiveness. Additionally, the product has balanced palatability, ensuring the target organisms consume a lethal dose.
In Europe, the most critical control periods are autumn and spring, when humidity is high and temperatures are mild, which is favorable for mollusk activity. IRonMAX PRO is designed to withstand prolonged rainfall, ensuring its long-term presence in the soil and thus providing sustained efficacy.
According to Dai Shanggao, the production process of IRonMAX PRO ensures uniform size and shape of all baits (60,000 baits per kilogram), facilitating regular calibration. Moreover, to ensure consistent calibration, they do not produce dust, are not easily broken, and have high unit mass and density.
Approved for registration on all crops in Portugal except potatoes and citrus fruits, the recommended application rate is 5-7 kilograms per hectare, depending on mollusk infestation risk, with up to four applications per year and a safety interval of three days. Additionally, the product has received organic certification and can be used in organic agriculture.
