The systemic insecticide "Confidor" has a pronounced contact-intestinal effect. The material contains the purpose, areas of application, composition, processing regulations, restrictions, compatibility, as well as recommendations on how to distinguish a fake from the original.

general description

The manufacturer of this drug is a German agricultural group. The substance itself is small brown granules, which upon contact with water dissolve and form a homogeneous white suspension - the mother liquor.

According to the instructions for use of Confidor, the drug is a systemic insecticide, which means it acts “from within” the plant. The active substance penetrates into the tissues and cells of the treated crop through the surface of the leaves after spraying, spreading even to those parts of the plant that have not been treated.

Purpose and areas of application "Confidor"

The drug has a double effect:

1) contact-intestinal INSECTICIDE of systemic action against sucking and gnawing pests.

The drug has proven itself well both indoors and outdoors. It destroys pests such as moths, thrips, scale insects, aphids, leaf rollers, Colorado potato beetles, flea beetles, whiteflies and many others. etc. However, if the insects are in the resting phase, that is, in the form of a pupa, egg or nymph, the drug does not work.

“Confidor” is used in agricultural production (spring wheat, spring barley, winter barley, wheat, oats, potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc.) and in private farms (mainly cucumbers, tomatoes, potatoes).

2) provides ANTI-STRESS EFFECT on the plant - compensates for the influence of unfavorable environmental factors (heat, cold, ultraviolet radiation, pesticides, diseases, etc.) on the potential yield.

Who is it used against?

When purchasing a product, you should pay attention to the fact that the substance in question is not capable of fighting ticks. The instructions for use of "Confidor" provide for its use against Homoptera, Coleoptera and Lepidoptera. Among them are:

• Colorado potato beetle;
• aphids;
• thrips;
• whiteflies;
• bread flea beetles and ground beetles;
• Pyavits.

On private farms, the drug is often used to protect crops from leafhoppers, flower beetles, codling moths, flea beetles, weevils, ants, caterpillars and many other insects, but the instructions do not list them. This is explained by the fact that, according to the manufacturer, some insects can develop resistance to the active substance.

Composition and preparative form "Confidor"

The active ingredient is IMIDACLOPRID , chemical class neonicotinoids.

Dosages:

• basic preparation "Confidor" - 200g/liter.
• modifications “Confidor-Maxi” and “Confidor-Extra” - 700g./kg.

is a chemical and pharmaceutical concern, a world leader in the chemical industry, including the development and production of plant protection products.

Currently used in the Russian Federation - “Confidor-Extra, VDG” , the drug is registered and approved for use until 2029. The preparative form is WG (water-dispersible granules), which allows the working solution not to foam when stirred, and the drug itself dissolves without sediment. Packaging: 0.4 and 0.5 kg bottles, 1 gram packages for private household plots.

The basic version of the insecticide “Confidor” is 20% liquid concentrate

Reviews

The popularity of the insecticide is fully justified by the positive reviews of many plant growers. The drug has proven itself to be an effective and easy-to-use product with high efficiency. “Confidor” is considered the best against aphids and Colorado potato beetles due to its reliability and safety for humans.

For some, the drug helped get rid of pests on potatoes for several seasons at once, according to reviews. When to process? The instructions for using Confidor for such cases have standard recommendations. The main thing is to carry out mandatory re-treatment after 3 weeks.

Among the characteristics of the drug there are also less positive ones. Most often they are associated with a large number of fakes on the shelves. A striking example is “Confidor Maxi”, which is not even in the catalog on the official website of the manufacturer.

Mechanism of action "Confidor"

1) As an insecticide, the drug has a systemic effect, which ensures easy penetration into plant tissue, providing plant protection for a long time.

The active substance blocks the transmission of nerve impulses at the level of the acetylcholine receptor of the postsynaptic membrane. The insect dies from nervous overexcitation.

2) Overcoming stress caused by unfavorable environmental factors is ensured by the main metabolic product of imidacloprid - chloronicotinic acid (6-CNA). Which is an inducer of systemic plant resistance and, as research shows, causes corresponding physiological and biochemical changes in the plant, enhancing the plant’s ability to withstand stress factors. This unique ability was discovered in. The effect of anti-stress protection is called the special term “Strength from Within”.

The duration of the protective effect is 15-30 days, depending on weather conditions and the harmful object)

The speed of the initial impact is the first hours after treatment. For example, it acts instantly on whiteflies. The strongest manifestation of the drug occurs on the second day.

Preparing a solution for cockroaches - instructions

The anti-cockroach solution is prepared in the same way as for treating indoor plants. For this purpose, “Confidor 200 Sl” is used. 0.1 ml is diluted in a liter of water. The resulting poison is used to treat areas where cockroaches gather, excluding those surfaces on which food is located. After treatment, the room must be well ventilated, and only after ventilation can people be in it. After 14 days, the treatment is carried out again in order to destroy cockroaches hatched from eggs laid by already destroyed individuals.

Application regulations

The timing of treatments is determined taking into account the number of insects and economic thresholds of harmfulness. The optimal temperature for treatments is +12…+25 C 3-4 hours before rain. The number of treatments is once. The drug "Confidor" is dangerous for bees and other pollinating insects, so it is recommended to treat plants when the bees no longer fly - in the early morning or evening.

The working solution is prepared very simply - the required amount of the drug (1g/5-10l of water) is simply diluted in water at room temperature. Treatment is carried out by spraying or through drip irrigation.

To protect potatoes from the Colorado potato beetle, the consumption rate is calculated based on 0.3-0.5 g of the drug per 5 liters of water / per 1 hundred square meters.

To protect cucumbers and tomatoes from whiteflies, aphids and thrips - the calculated norm is 1.5 g/10 l. water, working solution consumption 1-3 l./1 m2

Storage rules and expiration date

The product must be kept separate from food and medications. It must be kept out of reach of children and animals. The composition can be stored at temperatures from -2 to +25 degrees. The total shelf life should not exceed 3 years.

Security and restrictions

a) For humans - hazard class - class 3. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing, use personal protective equipment - nitrile gloves, safety glasses, etc. When carrying out work, follow personal safety standards (store work clothes separately, wash hands before breaks in work and at the end of the working day, etc. )

To safely use the Confidor insecticide, the release dates and waiting periods should be observed:

• the exit time for manual work is up to 7 days, for mechanized work the exit time is not regulated;
• the waiting period before harvesting for vegetable crops is 3-5 days, for grain crops at least 20 days;
• The maximum allowable time for working with the drug is 2 hours.

The volatility of imidacloprid increases sharply with increasing temperature. Its vapors are flammable, explosive and much more toxic than solid and liquid forms. Therefore, you cannot store the drug and use it at temperatures above +35 Celsius. The drug "Confidor" is dangerous in case of fire, because Hydrogen chloride (HCl), hydrocyanic acid (hydrocyanide), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx) may be released.

b) When using the drug, special attention should be paid to environmental issues, since for bees it is hazard class 1 (a particularly dangerous drug).

Precautionary measures

Like all systemic insecticides, the drug can have a negative effect on the body of people and animals. To avoid poisoning caused by inhalation of tiny particles during spraying, it is necessary to ensure protection of the respiratory tract, mucous membranes and skin. Safety precautions involve the use of a special mask, suit and gloves. Work is only allowed in calm weather. While working with the drug, do not eat, smoke, drink water or other drinks.

Severe drug poisoning may not cause visible negative symptoms. However, the insecticide can provoke the growth of cancer cells, the development of nervous disorders, decreased performance, and fetal underdevelopment in pregnant women.

If there are hives with bees near the treated area, it is recommended to temporarily move them to another, safer place. It is prohibited to use the insecticide in question near swimming pools and ponds.

First aid for poisoning

If severe weakness, nausea, tachycardia and other negative symptoms appear due to non-compliance with safety precautions when spraying plants, it is necessary to rinse the nasopharynx, take a shower, and rinse the mouth thoroughly with water. If the insecticide gets into the stomach, induce vomiting as soon as possible.

In case of severe headaches, the victim is given pyramidon; if the solution gets into the eyes, they are washed under running water or a weak soda solution. In all of the above situations, you should consult a doctor.

Application benefits

• Rapid defeat of pests due to the pronounced enteric-contact action, and systemic properties ensure the defeat of secretly living pests.
• High activity against pests, both when sprayed and when applied to the soil.
• Long period of protective action
• Usually one treatment per season is sufficient.
• More economical in comparison with mixtures: pyrethroids + organophosphates.
• Reducing the risk of developing resistance when using a protection regimen together with drugs from other chemical groups.
• Resistant to washout.
• Joint application with mineral fertilizers.

Purpose

Confidor Extra is a systemic insecticide of enteric contact action, which is used to treat soil and all types of plant crops against a variety of gnawing and sucking pests: Lepidoptera, Homoptera and Coleoptera. The drug affects even those species of plant-parasitic insects that are resistant to other insecticides, and provides long-term protection. Confidor Extra does not have acaricidal properties, therefore it is not used against ticks.

As recommendations

1. The use of the drug "Confidor-Extra" not only as an insecticide, but also as an inducer of stress resistance to abiotic factors (even for a short period of plant growth) significantly expands its capabilities for increasing the yield and quality of agricultural crops.
2. It is not advisable to use the drug on open ground; for example, in Europe, treatment of open ground plants with imidacloprid is completely prohibited due to the high danger to bees.
3. If you use the original drug, unfortunately, you can mistakenly purchase a fake. How to distinguish a fake - see video

How to get rid of bark beetle?

Is it possible to get rid of the bark beetle using Confidor? If this pest is found in the walls of a wooden house, and cases of infection are isolated, then insect poison (insecticide) is quite capable of coping with the problem. In this case, a solution of the same concentration is prepared as for the Colorado potato beetle, and using a syringe it is poured into the holes - the detected bark beetle passages. After this, the passages are covered with paraffin or putty. If there are many passages and the affected area is large, other methods of pest control are used.

“Confidor” is also used as a barrier method of protection against bark beetles in the garden. With this method of protection, the solution is sprayed on the trunks of healthy trees. Affected trees are treated with injections, where the main active ingredient is an insecticide. In this case, you need to consult with a specialist: is it possible to use Confidor for injection against the bark beetle, since it is not suitable for all tree crops when injected internally. There are no restrictions for external barrier treatment.

So, the modern insecticide “Confidor” will certainly meet your expectations and help get rid of a variety of pests - cockroaches, aphids, bark beetles and many others (but it is worth remembering that you will have to look for other remedies for ticks). How long it will take to destroy every single individual depends on the type of insect and the correct application of the solution. The main thing is to be patient, carefully study the instructions, check the expiration date of the insecticide, and you can safely save your favorite petunias or vegetables, regardless of how much land you have at your disposal - a couple of flower pots or a field of several hectares.
