general information

Among the assortment of poisons, it is often difficult to make a choice (what are the best drugs for combating the Colorado potato beetle, we described in a separate article, and here you can read about other equally popular and effective means aimed at combating this malicious pest).

Therefore, when you are confused and your crop is being attacked by pests, buy a remedy for the Colorado potato beetle - Corado.

Its undeniable advantages:

• high efficiency;
• ease of use;
• low cost;
• wide spectrum of action (will help you get rid of not only the Colorado potato beetle, but also other types of insects that harm garden and garden plants).

Instructions for using the drug against the Colorado potato beetle

It makes more sense to use the product only when there is a real danger to the crop. It carries environmental risks and is not suitable for thoughtless prevention.

Storage conditions

Use within three years from the date of manufacture.

Store in a room where it is no colder than -5 degrees and no higher than +25. Do not allow fire, do not burn.

Objects of influence

The chemical causes paralysis of the nervous system of insects.

The Colorado potato beetle and its larvae die from direct contact with the pesticide (contact effect), as well as from eating foliage (intestinal poisoning). Oviposition is not affected, but hatched larvae also die from poison in the food (greens remain poisonous for almost a month after treatment).

The 28-spotted potato ladybug is a dangerous beetle that destroys potato tops in Primorye and Sakhalin. The fight against it is similar to the measures taken against the Colorado potato beetle.

Aphids on the apple tree are destroyed at any stage of the growing season. It is advisable to capture it during the initial period of resettlement.

The biological insecticide Fitoverm (analogues - Iskra Bio, Akarin) copes well with any aphid; it is safer for the environment.

Processing times

• The treatment is carried out once, when pests are first detected on plants.
• Avoid windy weather.
• It should be at least 4 hours before it rains. Then the chemical will penetrate inside the plants, and precipitation will no longer weaken its effect.
• Choose the evening (after 18 o’clock), or at least the morning (before 10 o’clock). This way there is less exposure to the sun and it is safer for the bees.
• Temperature does not play a big role (the optimal range is wide: from +10 to + 26).

Application technology

The pesticide is applied by spraying. The spray should be fine (a broom is not suitable).

1. The ampoule (bottle) contains a liquid concentrate, which is diluted with water - first in a small amount, then brought to the required volume. Prepare the solution before use and do not store it for a long time.
2. Recommended dosage: 1 ml of concentrate per 4 liters of water.
3. There is no need to soak the plantings abundantly. Surface spraying with a consumption of 4 liters of solution per 1 hundred square meters is sufficient. If at least a third of the plant is processed, the tissues will have the required concentration.
4. Corado can be mixed with fungicides (for plant diseases), except for copper-containing preparations.

Impact

In the very first hours, insects almost cease to live. Complete death occurs after 2-3 days, maximum after 5. Protection from emerging larvae and newly arriving individuals lasts at least two weeks, up to a month.

Precautionary measures

1. Usually the drug does not irritate the skin, mucous membranes of the eyes and mouth, but it is better to protect yourself with standard protective clothing.
2. All work must be carried out in the absence of children and pets.
3. Do not spray flower plants visited by pollinating insects.
4. Do not allow splashes to come into contact with other plantings, especially green crops. They quickly penetrate inside the plants and cannot be washed off with water. Heat treatment (cooking, frying) will not help either. The pesticide is destroyed only over time: in the plant after a month, in the soil after almost a year.
5. Corado is destructive to aquatic life. Do not spray near water bodies, much less send the remaining solution into them. They are poured into a hole and covered with earth.
6. It is allowed to enter the treated plantation three days after treatment. After 10 days, the concentration of poison in the leaves and tubers decreases. The foliage will be poisonous to insects for another 10-20 days.
7. Imidacloprid has a 3rd (medium) hazard class for humans, mammals, and birds. (Accidental) consumption of concentrate and freshly processed greens should be avoided. Symptoms of poisoning: breathing problems, trembling limbs, lethargy; in this case, urgent medical attention is required, otherwise the liver may be damaged. Long-term dietary exposure to small doses can disrupt the endocrine system.

It is recommended to wait at least three weeks after spraying before digging potatoes.

Corado is very effective in the fight against the Colorado potato beetle. It acts quickly, is not addictive, and reliably protects the plantings for another month. The pesticide is used strictly when necessary, with strict adherence to all safety rules.

Mechanism of action

Both the Colorado potato beetle and aphids adapt well to various poisons , developing immunity to them. These parasites are also difficult to exterminate because their reproduction rate is faster than poisoning.

But Corado is a unique drug, the use of which guarantees that the number of insects and beetles will be reduced to zero . The effect of the drug will continue throughout the harvest season.

It perfectly tolerates high levels of humidity and sunlight, which is why you can rest assured that the drug will not lose its ability due to changing weather conditions.

2-3 hours after treating the plants, the poison enters the nervous system of the Colorado potato beetles and acts in such a way that they stop feeding, although they are still quite viable and active, but no longer harm your plants. On the second or third day after spraying, the death of Colorado larvae and adults occurs.

Description of the drug "Executioner"

The manufacturer produces this remedy for the Colorado potato beetle in ampoules. It is considered one of the new generation drugs. The drug has a combined effect, killing the parasite at any stage of development.

The insecticide "Executioner" is a systemic poison against Colorado potato beetles. It has a contact effect, causing death upon contact with different parts of the body of insects.

Each of these ingredients has a special effect. Thiamethoxam is an active pesticide. It penetrates plant tissue. Then it poisons pests when they eat potato leaves. The substance is especially effective against insects that accumulate on the lower part of the leaves. The substance poteytin reduces the harm of the insecticide to the plant. It does not allow toxic components to accumulate in the tubers. This substance also improves the immune defense of potatoes. Increases its resistance to adverse weather conditions and pests.

Mode of application

Before you start working with the drug, you need to protect yourself . How to do it:

• wear safety glasses, special clothing and rubber gloves to completely avoid the poison getting on your body;
• Do not under any circumstances use food containers to prepare the solution;
• During the process of processing plants, it is forbidden to eat anything, smoke, drink liquid , as microparticles of poison can enter your body.

You can work with the drug in any weather conditions, since it is not afraid of high temperatures, and it is not washed off by rain. Corado must be applied to each bush , not missing either stems or leaves.

Preparation of the solution

To properly prepare the suspension, you must strictly follow all the instructions provided on the packaging by the manufacturer. Let's start with the analysis - how to breed Corado from the Colorado potato beetle?

You will need a five-liter bucket (do not forget that it should not be used for food purposes) and one ampoule of the drug.

Fill a bucket with water at room temperature, add the contents of the ampoule and mix everything very well . After this, the liquid must be placed in a sprayer or atomizer and you can begin to process the plants.

Processing of potato bushes should be done no later than twenty days before harvest. Torado cannot be mixed with other drugs, as it is incompatible, and with such actions you will not get rid of pests, but will destroy your plants .

Breeding standards for pests on different crops

The most popular is the standard breeding of Corado from the Colorado potato beetle. The instructions for use prescribe that the preparation of the finished composition should occur in several stages:

1. It is necessary to take a clean container, preferably with volume marks up to 5 liters.
2. Pour approximately 1-2 liters of clean water.
3. Pour 1 ml of the drug into the prepared water.
4. Stir thoroughly.
5. After this, add the volume to the maximum mark - 5 liters.
6. Stir thoroughly again.

In this proportion, the drug should be enough to treat a plot of potatoes measuring 1 hundred square meters.

However, in any case, before using Corado, you must thoroughly study the manufacturer’s recommendations.

To treat plants against aphids, a more concentrated composition is prepared, namely from 2.5 to 5 ml per 10 liters of clean water. This variation depends on the degree of damage to the crop. It is most advisable to use a concentrated solution against aphids specifically on garden trees, since the same dilution is recommended for tomatoes and cucumbers as for potatoes. The usual consumption rate is up to 5 liters per adult garden tree.

“The Corado poison came into my hands by accident—the neighbors let me try it. They used it last year and bought it this year too. And we have already tried all the remedies from our reserves and not a single one has helped. They cultivated their own beds after their neighbors. No one expected the effect - the product was inexpensive, the loud inscription on the packaging, a small ampoule for a large area - somehow it did not inspire confidence at first. And what a surprise it was when the very next morning there was not a single beetle left on the bushes. Yes, it’s true, there are still eggs left, but where would we be without them? The neighbor said that it works for a really long time - according to the instructions, it means when new larvae appear and it will work on them. In general, there are a lot of advantages, but I haven’t noticed any disadvantages yet.” Olga
