Karate Zeon: instructions for use of insecticide, dosage and analogues

Pests of agricultural crops spoil the fruits not only in the beds in the field, but also in storage. To protect the crop, scientists have developed an improved variation of the Karate chemical. Insectoacaricidal preparation helps to get rid of most sucking and leaf-eating pests. The working qualities of "Karate Zeon" depend on compliance with the instructions for use and the consumption rates specified by the manufacturer.

Composition and formulation of the insecticide

Insecticidal drug belongs to the protective means of enteric-contact action. Such an effect on pests is due to the active ingredient in the chemical - lambda-cyhalothrin, which is included in the category of pyrethroids.One liter of insecticide contains 50 grams of the active ingredient.

The chemical is produced in the form of a microencapsulated suspension, which is packaged in 5 liter plastic canisters. The manufacturer of the insecticide is Syngenta.

Principle of operation and purpose of the tool

The active substance of the chemical agent is characterized by an enteric-contact mechanism of action on insect pests.

"Karate Zeon" is specially designed to combat leaf-eating and sucking pests that destroy plantings of cultivated plants such as tomato, soybeans, potatoes, apple trees, beets, onions, cabbage and others.

Lambda-cyhalothrin, which is the only active ingredient of the insectoacaricidal chemical, quickly penetrates the body of insect pests and has a paralyzing effect on their nervous system. After that, the parasites stop feeding and die as a result.

The chemical only begins its action after the working fluid has completely dried on the plant or pest, which takes approximately 2 hours.

The complete death of parasitic insects is observed after a maximum of 3 hours - it depends on the susceptibility of the pest and the weather conditions that were at the time of spraying.

Farmers who sow large fields with cultivated plants for later sale, and owners of modest summer cottages who grow vegetables and fruits for personal use, noted several positive things after using Karate Zeon.

Insecticide benefits include:

• wide spectrum of activity against leaf-eating and sucking pests of cultivated plants;
• speed of negative impact on parasites and a long period of protection after treatment - up to 2 weeks;
• low cost insecticide;
• no irritating odor;
• low cost of the chemical;
• high efficiency impact on both adult insects and their larvae;
• lack of phytotoxicity, provided that the instructions for use are followed;
• highly weather resistant (will not wash off with rain).

To prevent the development of pest resistance to the action of Karate Zeon, it is necessary to alternate it with other chemicals.

Instructions for using Karate Zeon

The instructions from the manufacturer indicate the optimal consumption rates for processing each plant, they are presented in the table:

4 ml per 2-4 liters of pure waterOne time Peas

Cultivated plant	Insecticide consumption per 100 sq.meters of landings -4 liters of clean water	One time
Grapes	From 3, 2 to 4.8 ml per 8-10 liters of liquid
	1 to 1.25 ml per 2-4 liters of liquid	One time
Onions	From 1.5 to 4 ml per 2-3 liters of pure water	Twice during the growing season
Apple trees	4 ml per 10-15 liters of liquid	Twice during the growing season
Wheat	1 to 2 ml per 4 liters of water	One time

The working fluid is prepared immediately before spraying cultivated plants. Half of the recommended water rate is poured into a plastic bucket and the insecticide rate is added. Mix thoroughly. After the solution acquires a homogeneous consistency, add the remaining liquid and stir again.

It is recommended to spray crops in dry weather, when the wind speed does not exceed 4 m/s. It is best to treat the area in the early morning or after 7 pm. When covering the sheet plates with a working solution, it is necessary to ensure that it flows onto the ground.

Safety measures when working with the drug

"Karate Zeon" refers to the 3rd class of toxicity to humans, warm-blooded animals and birds. However, it is highly toxic to the inhabitants of water bodies and bees. It is recommended not to use the insecticide during the flowering period of the plant and not to drain the remaining working fluid into nearby water bodies.

When working with a chemical, basic safety requirements are observed:

1. They put on overalls that cover the entire body of a person, rubber gloves on their hands. The respiratory tract is protected from insecticide vapors with a respirator or mask.
2. During treatment, it is forbidden to drink, smoke and eat, otherwise the chemical may get on the mucous membranes of the mouth and lead to poisoning.
3. All work clothes after spraying the plants are washed and hung outside for airing. The farmer must take a shower and rinse his mouth with clean water.

Compatibility with other substances

In the instructions for the Karate Zeon insecticide, it is indicated that it is allowed to be used with other protection chemicals. However, before mixing the funds, a test is necessarily carried out, combining small amounts of each drug. In the event that flakes or heavy sediment appear, refuse to use in the tank mixture.

Terms and rules of storage

According to the manufacturer, the insecticide retains its working qualities for three years from the date of manufacture.It is recommended to keep "Karate Zeon" in closed utility rooms, where it is cool and dark. It is also important to limit access to the chemical to children and animals.

What can I replace?

If necessary, you can replace Karate Zeon with drugs such as Compass, Kaizo or Lamdex.
