Rising BYDV Risk in Certain Areas – Protect Your Cereal Crops with Clayton Lanark™ 

Posted on 14 October 2025

Pest pressure increase:

Ongoing mild weather this autumn is sustaining aphid activity, increasing the risk of BYDV infection for early-sown winter cereals. Reports of high aphid and gout fly pressure across the region suggest that timely insecticide intervention may be required to safeguard crops and minimise yield loss.

Clayton Lanark™ provides effective control of aphid vectors responsible for spreading BYDV, providing reliable protection for both yield potential and grain quality.

Active: 100 g/L lambda-cyhalothrin.
Formulation: Capsule Suspension
Crops: Winter wheat, winter barley, winter oats, durum wheat

Stay vigilant this autumn, monitor aphid activity regularly to preserve yield potential.
