To save cultivated plants from pests, gardeners and farmers are forced to use insecticidal preparations. It is important to choose a chemical agent that will effectively cope with parasites and will not harm the crop. The Shar Pei insecticide is used to control a wide range of pests that destroy plantings of vegetable, fruit and field crops. Before using the drug, you must study the instructions.

Active ingredient and release form of the product

Insecticide, characterized by contact-intestinal action, has one active ingredient - cypermethrin, which is included in the chemical class of pyrethroids. One liter of the chemical contains 250 grams of the active substance.

The Shar Pei insecticide goes on sale in the form of an emulsion concentrate, which is packaged in 5 liter plastic canisters. This packaging is intended for farmers who sow large fields. Also on the shelves of gardening stores there are 10 ml bottles and 1.5 ml ampoules for owners of small household plots.

Principle and spectrum of action

The instructions indicate that the insecticide is designed to control insect pests of almost all cultivated plants, both in open ground and in greenhouses. "Shar Pei" effectively destroys parasites such as aphids, apple codling, cutworm, leafworm and Colorado potato beetle.

The active substance of the chemical agent - cypermethrin - suppresses the nervous system of insect pests and causes paralysis, as a result of which the parasites die. After 15 minutes after the drug hits the insects, they stop moving, feed and die.In addition, the active substance disrupts the feeding of larvae and oviposition.

Because the insecticide is in the form of a microemulsion, it instantly penetrates into the tissues of the cultivated plant after application. Due to the intestinal-contact action, not only adults die, but also larvae, as well as adults. The protective period after treatment is up to 3 weeks.

Gardeners and farmers using Sharpei in their plots and fields noted several significant advantages of the chemical that distinguish it from other similar products.
