The drug Iskra is not just one product, but a line that helps get rid of pests in a short time. The insecticide has a wide range of action and is used to eliminate insects on large and small areas of land.
A separate type is also offered for plants that live at home. To use Spark double effect, study the instructions for use, which describe the method of application and other nuances.
Description and features of the insecticide
Insecticidal preparations are not all powerful in their action and remove the threat from 90% of pest species. Most of the products are not designed for use in an apartment, as they pose a threat to human health. As for Iskra, everything is simple: we determine the place of processing, the type of crop, and buy the appropriate drug.
The striking power of the Spark is continuous. The product destroys 98% of known insect species at one time, which is over 60 types. The only families not included in the list for destruction were the slug and soil families.
The drug can be used for the following crops:
- decorative and floral;
- bulbous and green (including all types of cabbage);
- legumes and melons;
- root crops and berry bushes;
- tuberous, greenhouse;
- fruit and stone fruit trees.
The effect on the insect’s body begins after contact with the chitinous cover. And also through the respiratory and digestive tracts. Further relief of vital processes, paralysis and, ultimately, death.
Iskra is not new to the agricultural market. Appeared more than 20 years ago. Known for its properties in more than 100 countries, as it is suitable for all climatic conditions. Inexpensive, but effective, provides long-term protection against parasites.
Advantages of Iskra
The pesticide is deservedly popular among farmers. The effective product has a high concentration in compact packaging. One package is enough to treat a large area. It features fast results at an affordable price.
The chemical has a dual effect on crops:
- protection against parasites;
- feeding with useful macro- and microelements.
Except for Iskra M, all drugs are safe for humans and animals due to the rapid breakdown of components and the absence of accumulation in tissues. The harvest can be eaten without harm to health a few days after processing.
Composition and varieties
There are many types of Spark, they contain basic components. Compounds affect a specific type of parasite, in their various forms.
So in the composition:
- permethrin. The substance is a poison of plant origin. Pyrethrum is found in large quantities in chamomile;
- To paralyze the acaricide, cypermethrin is included in the composition. Its task is to paralyze the nerve endings of the parasite, leading to death. At the same time it eliminates masonry.
After applying the drug to the plant, an invisible crust (protective layer) is formed. If processed correctly, it will appear not only on the foliage, but on the fruits and shoots. After contact with the Spark, the insect is paralyzed, which will lead to natural death (inability to feed).
There are no contraindications or temperature restrictions. On the contrary, the higher the temperature (+25 - +30), the greater the chance of quickly eliminating parasitic insects. Precipitation and drought are not terrible either.
Stores offer different types of the drug. The release form is different.
Iskra M
The substance Iskra M is offered in the form of an emulsion. Helps eliminate known domestic insects. It is quite suitable for processing greenhouse crops and plants in open ground. On sale you can find ampoules of 5 ml and bottles of 10 ml.
Types of drugs – Iskra
The inexpensive insecticide is produced in Russia. Under the name “Iskra”, 5 drugs are produced that have different compositions and principles of action. Products are selected based on active ingredients, safety for humans and speed of elimination.
Iskra M
The malathion-based chemical is an improved version of karbofos. The inexpensive drug "Iskra M" is used as immediate help for neglected areas.
The emulsion has a suffocating toxic odor and does not leave the crops for a long time. If plants are treated regularly, insects develop resistance.
Spark Double Effect
A less aggressive chemical with cypermethrin and peremethrin as active ingredients is classified as a contact-intestinal group of poisons. The product destroys larvae, adults of leaf-eating and sucking parasites, and is not dangerous for eggs. The drug paralyzes the nervous system of pests, which causes the death of affected individuals.
Biological additives in the composition improve plant resistance to adverse factors. “Iskra Double Effect” is produced in tablets, which is convenient for summer residents and small farms.
The chemical is used against:
- codling moth;
- sawfly;
- thrips;
- leaf rollers;
- aphids;
- ticks.
Iskra Golden
An imidacloprid-based pesticide is suitable for eradicating insects indoors, in the countryside, and in the garden. The effective, odorless drug is released in the form of an emulsion.
Use “Golden Spark” against whiteflies, Colorado potato beetles and aphids. The long-acting chemical does not lose its effectiveness after treatment for 30 days, is not afraid of heat and does not accumulate in the crop.
Golden for indoor plants
For indoor conditions, it is better to use the “Iskra Zolotaya” preparation in the form of sticks. The agricultural product is inserted into the soil with the plant at the same distance.
The effect of the chemical is similar to tobacco dust, but with an enhanced toxic effect. The poison is odorless, so it is suitable for home gardening.
Spark Bio
The concentrated emulsion is known among farmers as “Akarin”. The product based on Avertin is created from the components of the vital activity of soil fungi.
The components do not migrate into the fruit and kill pests of all ages. It is eliminated from tissues within 2 days; it works better in hot weather. The poison is not dangerous for humans and warm-blooded animals.
Efficiency of application against pests
The manufacturer of the Iskra line of insecticides regularly updates the composition of its products to enhance their capabilities in the modern environmental situation. But the main component is avertin, which actively fights against:
- Colorado potato beetle. It has a particularly strong effect on young larvae. But it doesn’t help at all regarding egg laying. Standard dilution for insect control: 20 ml per 10 l. The specified working solution is enough for one hundred square meters. Application period: 2-3 times a month with a temporary break of 6-7 days;
- If you dilute Iskra according to the scheme of 60 ml per 10 liters of water, then there will be no trace left of caterpillars, leaf rollers, moths and copperheads;
- Whiteflies, gnawing cutworms, and caterpillars are afraid of the product, which is diluted according to a different formula: 15 + 5 liters. Since insects are most often found on the lower part of the plant, treatment (spraying) is carried out here. Watering is not carried out on the ground so as not to burn the root;
- For thrips, use a solution of 4 g per 0.5 l. the soil is not watered, and the crop is well cultivated with the same time interval 3-4 times a month;
- Aphids and their species require an increased dosage of Spark. So you need to add 40 ml of product per 5 liters, stir well. 2 treatments per week will remove pests from the land.
Iskra M
It is based on the substance malathion (hence the marking with the letter “M”), a liquid analogue of the well-known karbofos. The drug is poisonous to bees, which means it is advisable not to spray the crops during the flowering period.
Active for up to 7-10 days, the last procedure is allowed four weeks before harvesting. With constant use on the site (over a number of years), resistance is detected in some pest populations.
Features of Iskra M
The product is effective in combating different groups of pests:
- thrips;
- sawflies;
- leafhoppers;
- bedbugs;
- mites;
- aphids.
It is advisable to use it during mass attacks of insects; for prevention, use more gentle biological agents. Gardeners note that the drug gives an effect faster when alternating with pyrethroid insecticides.
Form:
- emulsion, in ampoules 5 ml;
- concentrate 10 ml.
Application
For all treatments, dilute 10 ml of the product in a bucket of water. Labor consumption rates (per hundred square meters):
- on cucumber and tomato plantings on ridges - 5 l;
- on cabbage beds - 10 liters (against white grass, cutworm).
For 10 sq. meters in shelters:
- on greenhouse tomatoes – 2 l;
- cucumbers – 3 l.
On currants - about 1.5 liters per bush (against copperhead, sawflies, scale insects, gall midges, and bud moths). In the garden, 4-5 liters are spent per tree. Protects against weevils, codling moths, copperheads, aphids, and mites.
Advantages and disadvantages
The proposed types of the drug differ not only in composition, but also in their effectiveness as protection against insects. Some of them are suitable as top dressing. In order not to describe the advantages of each product from the Iskra line, it is proposed to study the general advantages and disadvantages of the insecticide.
Spark differs from the mass of insecticidal agents in its effectiveness against insects. Its extensive action extends to more than 50 species of parasites that are found in open and closed ground.
Especially if it is not clear which of the parasitic species “settled” on the plant. Moreover, often in open ground there is not one, but several parasites at once.
But these are not all the positive qualities of Iskra.
Means:
- safe for humans and pets;
- has no accumulative properties. This means that nitrates and heavy metals will not be observed in the fruits;
- ensures rapid elimination of pest threats. The maximum time reaches 1 hour. Minimum: 15 – 30 minutes;
- despite changes in weather and changes in temperature, the protective effect lasts for a maximum of 3-4 weeks;
- Most types of Spark have a short waiting period, which in extreme cases reaches a week after spraying the plant. The crop is then ready for consumption;
- resistance is low.
Many gardeners consider the low cost of the substance to be a positive aspect. There are also disadvantages, but they only relate to improper use or dilution of the working mixture.
Thus, allergy sufferers can cause an attack if they work with the drug without a protective suit. Asthmatics should also be more careful when preparing and applying to plants for the same reason: the appearance of an attack.
If the drug is diluted incorrectly (increased dose), damage occurs to both the green part of the crop and the crop. The root method of use is prohibited.

Instructions for use
The use of Iskra involves only one method - the spraying method. Therefore, regardless of the type purchased, the drug is diluted in water at the indicated dosage. The working form of the solution is pre-stirred in a small amount of liquid, then gradually added to the required volume.
If the substance is used for prophylactic purposes, the dosage is halved, both of water and of the drug itself.
Treatment of plants is allowed at any stage of the growing season. But experts recommend carrying out manipulations before flowering so as not to scare off the honey plants.
To ensure results, you should treat not only the top part of the crop, but also the back side, since the Spark remains on the foliage in the form of a protective film.
Iskra-Bio product
A special safe preparation has been developed for gardeners and gardeners, which can be used to destroy various pests on both ornamental, flower, and berry, vegetable and fruit crops. The specified drug “Iskra” against pests can be used until harvest. With its help, you can treat those plants whose flowers are adjacent to ripening fruits.
It has been tested outdoors and in greenhouses. Based on their results, it was found that the product is capable of paralyzing caterpillars, aphids, spider mites, thrips, and Colorado potato beetle larvae. The maximum effect is observed only 3-5 days after treatment.
Its main advantages are that the product is safe and does not cause addiction to insects. In addition, it can even destroy those pests that are resistant to other drugs. Iskra-Bio is ideal for hot regions. Indeed, at temperatures above 28 0C its effectiveness only increases.
Compatibility with other tools
All types of insecticide Iskra are allowed to be combined with other treatments or for the prevention of plant diseases.
It should be remembered: simultaneous application will be ineffective and often dangerous for the crop. Therefore, it is recommended to carry out work with a small gap in time. This allows the previous drug to work fully.
Combination with stimulants is possible, but avoid combining Spark with substances that have an alkaline base. Reason: decreased effectiveness, precipitation of components, loss of toxicity.
Principle and range of action
Avertin N has a neurotoxic effect on pests and blocks nerve impulses. The pests do not die immediately, but immediately stop moving and feeding, that is, they can no longer cause harm to the plants. To prevent them from becoming poison for birds, you can collect them manually from your home plot.
The best processing time is at a temperature of 18-20 ° C, but at temperatures exceeding 28 ° C, the effectiveness only increases. The drug solution is not resistant to ultraviolet radiation and air, both on the surface of plants and on the soil. The half-life of avertin is only 0.5 days. The duration of the protective effect of the drug is 5-7 days.
Resistance in pests to Iskra Bio has not been detected. The substance is absorbed by the soil, but does not move in it and does not penetrate the roots into the plant. Not phytotoxic, the drug can be sprayed on plants that simultaneously bear fruits and flowers.
The insectoacaricide is used to destroy aphids, spider mites, cutworm caterpillars, codling moths, moths and leaf rollers, cabbage whites, thrips, Colorado potato beetles in the larval stage and other pests. It can also destroy ticks, and those that are resistant to popular drugs. The insectoacaricide has a long-term disorienting effect on nematode larvae, as a result of which they cannot find the roots of the plants they need.

Ask a Question
The following crops are treated with Iskra Bio: apple trees, currants, cabbage and potatoes, roses, tomatoes and eggplants, peppers and cucumbers.
Precautionary measures
Only Iskra Bio is called completely safe. For warm-blooded animals, the rest of the products in the line can have a negative impact, since their level of danger belongs to the 3rd (minor) hazard class.
The components that make up Spark are absorbed through the pores of the skin. Hence the need to use protective equipment even at the initial stage of preparing the working fluid.
When processing plants, have protection on the mucous membranes, since with frequent use all types of the drug Iskra accumulate in the body and lead to intoxication.
When working with indoor plants, also wear protective equipment on the face and skin. All events are held outdoors, where flowers are left for at least a day.
All work with insecticide should be carried out in calm weather. Preferably in the early morning hours or after 18.00, when there is no direct sunlight.
Means "Golden Spark"
The manufacturer has developed a special preparation designed to protect plants from insects that damage vegetable and ornamental crops. To destroy the Colorado potato beetle (including its larvae), thrips, whiteflies, aphids and others, the “Golden Spark” pest control product is suitable. The instructions say that to ensure protection, just one treatment per season is sufficient. In addition, when using it, you should not be afraid of other insects that may fly in from neighboring areas. Even young shoots that appeared after the treatment are protected.
After contact with the chemical, pests stop feeding and die after about 2 days. The specified preparation “Spark from pests” is absorbed into all above-ground parts of the plant. It is not washed off during rains or watering and remains in the leaves and trunks for about a month.
Impact on the environment
The chemical does not pose a threat to the environment if you follow the dilution rules and application standards. The substances do not accumulate and are completely destroyed within 21-28 days after application to fruits, shoots, and greens.
Since Iskra eliminates all insects, its disposal is prohibited near water bodies, beehives, and flowering plants.
Compatibility
The insectoacaricide mixes well in one solution with pesticides for treating pests and infections, with stimulants and other agricultural products, if they do not have an alkaline reaction. When combining drugs for treatment in one solution, you need to check them for compatibility, for which you take a little of both drugs, mix them in a container and see if there is an undesirable chemical reaction. If there is a change in color, temperature or consistency, or precipitation, the products must not be mixed. For treatment, you need to select other pesticides.

First aid for poisoning
If the solution in diluted or concentrated form comes into contact with the skin and mucous membranes, immediately rinse the area under running water. Laundry soap without additives is used.
Provided that the Spark has entered the oral cavity, the digestive tract should go to the hospital for help. Before the ambulance arrives, take a number of measures to improve the person’s condition: give absorbents a large amount of water.
Treatment is not carried out independently, since it contains poisons for which antidotes are strong and it is impossible to independently determine the dosage.
Insecticide treatment
When treating apple trees, currants, and roses, the insecticide helps protect these crops from red fruit mites and spider mites. To do this, dissolve 2 ml of insecticide in 1 liter of water. To destroy apple aphids, codling moths, cutworms on apple trees, you need to dissolve 3 ml of the drug in 1 liter of water. But to free these trees from the leaf roller and moth, the same amount of water will require a double dose of insecticide (6 ml per 1 liter of water). One tree will need 2-5 liters of water.
In addition, Iskra-Bio helps fight cabbage whites. In this case, a solution is prepared - 4 ml of product per 1 liter of water. In order to treat 10 sq.m., you will need from 0.4 l to 0.8 l of solution. But to get rid of the Colorado potato beetle larvae, a solution is prepared in a ratio of 2 ml per liter of water. This amount is enough to process from 5 to 10 sq.m.
Storage conditions
Before purchasing, check the expiration date of the drug and the integrity of the packaging. Provide a place at home where the temperature will not exceed 30 degrees and the sun's rays will not enter.
In any form, the Spark is not kept near food or liquid. Keep away from children and animals.
Iskra M is the most toxic and powerful substance in the line. Therefore, it is recommended to use it in urgent need (a large number of insects on the site).
In all other cases, it is quite possible to select a less dangerous substance. The most popular are Spark Double Effect and Bio.
Insecticide Spark Double effect
The tablet contains two substances from the so-called pyrethroids (artificial analogues of the insecticidal powder of the Pyrethrum plant). One of them is cypermethrin (as in Inta-Vir), the other is permethrin. The manufacturer also claims an additive in the form of potassium fertilizer. The complex has improved properties - it works faster, longer, more efficiently, is resistant to increased air temperature, and gives a lesser degree of addiction. The pesticide destroys many harmless and even beneficial insect predators, as well as bees, and destroys the fauna of water bodies; does not harm animals or humans; does not help against slugs, various mites and underground pests. It is prohibited to hold events on flowering plants. In berry gardens, the product is sprayed over the first buds and after the last berries are removed.
Various pests are susceptible to the harmful effects of the drug Iskra Double Effect
Who dies from it
- leaf flea beetles and aphids,
- whitefly; thrips,
- various moths, moths and butterflies, as well as their caterpillars,
- flies; their larvae,
- weevils, flower beetles, sawflies, leaf beetles, raspberry beetles.
An insecticide tablet is diluted with ten liters of water. The filtered liquid is used to irrigate one hundred square meters of plantings (preferably at the initial stage of pest infestation), preferably immediately at dawn or before sunset. The pesticide works for approximately two to three weeks. Only after this period the harvest is considered clean.
Storage rules
Iskra preparations are stored for 2 years in original packaging or bottles, tightly closed. Storage conditions: dry, dark and ventilated room, at a temperature from -10 to +30 °C. Do not place food, household products, medicines, or livestock feed nearby. You can store other pesticides, agrochemicals and fertilizers nearby.
After the expiration date, insecticides should be thrown away. Do not store diluted with water for longer than 1 day - the solution loses its working properties during long-term storage.
