In order to grow beautiful and healthy vegetables and ornamental plants on their personal plot, gardeners and gardeners should have a lot of patience, since there are many different types of pests that can prettyly spoil and even ruin the entire crop.
Owners of household plots, in addition to various mechanical and agricultural techniques, widely use various drugs created chemically (such as Confidor, Intavir, Alatar) from pests.
Reviews - how to recognize their objectivity?
How many people - so many opinions. What should be remembered by gardeners and gardeners who decided for the first time to try to use any insecticidal preparation, for example, Alatar, at their site?
Reviews of consumers who used this insecticide in their own area are not always unambiguous. So, someone claims that this drug, in accordance with the manufacturer’s stated information, is able to protect most garden crops from household plots (flowers, cucumbers, tomatoes, cabbage, currants, raspberries, apple trees) from pests. The composition of this insecticide immediately contains two active substances: cypermethrin and malathion, which suppress even the most stable populations of insect pests.
Therefore, "Alatar" can be used as the main high-speed agent in case of the unexpected appearance of insect pests.
Reviews say that the drug is completely ineffective. But they are not always justified. Owners of household plots choosing insecticides should know how to use Alatar correctly . Instructions for use are attached to each package of the drug. The main thing is to study it carefully.
The main errors of the use of the drug "Alatar"
The reviews left by gardeners about the ineffectiveness of this insecticidal preparation can in many cases be explained by the fact that when the solution is applied unevenly to plants, conditions are created so that the surviving pests get used to its composition and form new species resistant to it.
Do not forget that an excess of any chemical preparation can lead to damage and even death of the plant, and also significantly impairs the taste of its fruits and edible parts.
Alternative Pest Management
What do you need to know about alternative pest control methods for gardeners who do not want to use such chemicals as Alatar at their site? Reviews of insecticides do not play any role for those who choose biological methods of pest control. This is an opportunity to preserve the natural balance on the plot by using environmentally friendly microbiological preparations, various plants and attracting some types of beneficial insects and insectivorous birds.
However, it must be remembered that the refusal to control garden pests through the use of potent drugs can cause a loss of yield, and all efforts and troubles will be in vain.
