Organophosphorus insecticide for plant protection and destruction of stock pests
Active ingredient:

Pirimiphos-methyl, 500 g/l

Working fluid consumption rates:
Field crops – 200-400 l/ha, cucumbers and tomatoes in closed ground – 300-1000 l/ha.
Preparative norm:
Emulsifiable concentrate
Container:
5l

Resistance to high temperatures and low humidity determines the widespread use of the insecticide.

It is advisable to start treatment when the number of pests exceeds the economic limit.
threshold of harm (depending on the type of phytophage). The volume of the working solution should be sufficient to completely cover the entire leaf surface of the crop.
Do not allow the working solution to run off the treated leaf surface.
It is necessary to prevent Aktual from getting into food and feed. It is impossible
Graze livestock on treated areas without observing a waiting period.
It is recommended to treat plants in the morning or evening at an air temperature of +15 °C to +25 °C. The minimum concentration of Aktual in the working solution is 0.1-0.15%. The working solution of the tank mixture should be used on the day of preparation.

Advantages:
  • Short waiting time and control of a wide range of pests, which is important for greenhouses.
  • Additional acaricidal action inhibits the development of mites.
  • Due to the rapid decomposition of the active substance, the treated grain can be used for food and feed purposes (provided that the regulations for hoinging and determination of drug residues are followed).
  • It has a contact, translaminar and fumigant action, which allows you to control pests in hard-to-reach places.
