No one will argue that the Colorado potato beetle is the "number one enemy" of every gardener. The fight with him is conducted regularly, year after year, and she will not see the end, although chemists and agronomists regularly “throw” new drugs onto the market. These "God's creatures" somehow manage to survive and every year with new powers are taken to destroy the shoots of nightshade cultures. And people can only systematically kill these malicious pests in order to maintain the current crop. And recently, the drug from the Colorado potato beetle "Prestige", which is produced by the German company Bayer, has been helping a lot in this fight.
This unique disinfectant contains two active ingredients. And one of them is the fungicide-pencicuron, which protects plants from diseases. And the insecticide-imidacloprid already acts directly on pests. Also, the Prestige remedy for the Colorado potato beetle has an anti-stress effect and stimulates plant growth. And they treat seed with this preparation before planting it in the ground.
And after that, gardeners no longer have to additionally spray potatoes with insecticides against the larvae of Colorado potato beetles. Since their adults simply do not have time to lay eggs. Yes, and they can not damage the leaves of potatoes. Death awaits them as soon as they sit on the plant. Also, the poison from the Colorado potato beetle “Prestige” protects potatoes for 50 days from sucking pests such as cicadas, thrips and aphids. This preparation also prevents the soil parasites, such as the scoop, the larvae of the May beetle and the bear, from getting rich in culture. Also, plants treated with this treater for 40 days can not be afraid of scab, wet and dry rot of the black leg, and other diseases.
The Prestige remedy for the Colorado potato beetle is a drug that does not harm health. Although it consists of completely harmless substances. For example, imidacloprid, popularly called "insecticide." But this substance decomposes and is not deposited in the tubers. The same goes for pencicuron, which quickly breaks down into harmless components. And in order to prove the safety of the Prestige drug, scientists examined potatoes and other vegetables processed by it. The results showed that after 50 days from the toxic components no trace remains. And this is explained by the fact that this drug is a contact substance that decomposes and is removed from tubers in 40 days.
The drug "Prestige" from the Colorado potato beetle is used to process seed material right on the day of planting. To do this, sprouted and warmed tubers are poured into buckets on a film or tarp. In this way, the total weight of the planting material can be determined. Then a working solution of the drug is diluted. The calculation here is this: 10 milliliters of treater, which are bred in 100 milliliters of water, will be required per 10 kilograms of tubers. Then, the resulting solution is poured into the sprayer and the tubers are uniformly treated with them, which are then mixed well. And after a couple of hours, when it dries, you can start landing.
Also, do not forget that the Prestige drug from the Colorado potato beetle has a third class of toxicity, that is, it is moderately dangerous. All this is indicated in the instructions for use of the product. Therefore, all work with him must be carried out with gloves and a mask. And if you observe the proportions of breeding and timing, then it will not bring any harm to health. They are also not recommended to process early varieties of potatoes. Since the toxic components of the drug do not have time to decompose in them. And as a result, when eating such potatoes in food, the consequences can be most unforeseen.
