Therefore, it is worth talking about its capabilities in detail.

Composition and form of release of the drug "Spintor"

This is a one-component biological insecticide capable of destroying insect pests, while being harmless to humans, plants and garden-friendly entomophages.Spinosad - the active substance of the drug, is a contact and intestinal pesticide and is contained in Spintor at a concentration of 240 grams / liter. It arose during the fermentation of a biosubstrate obtained as a result of the vital activity of special bacteria - accinomycetes Saccharopolyspora spinosa.

The product is available in the form of a concentrated suspension, packaged in plastic bottles of various sizes (from 10 milliliters to 0.5 liters), with a tight screw cap. Each package of the product is supplied with a label containing information about the name of the insecticide, its manufacturer, composition and purpose. The drug belongs to the class of biological pesticides.

Principle of operation and purpose of the tool

Insecticide is used to protect plantings of potatoes, vegetables in open and closed ground, flowers in greenhouses.

Contact-intestinal action of the drug provides blocking of nerve impulses in the tissues, affects the state of the central nervous system of the insect, causing paralysis of the pest and its death.

"Spintor" protects plantings from the Colorado potato beetle, western flower (California) thrips, flies, gall midges, ants and other pests. In some species of insects, the insecticide acts on larvae, caterpillars, in others - on adults. There are no crop rotation restrictions for the drug.

Drug Benefits

Biological insecticides are a new generation of agrochemicals. They do not harm plants, are used in small doses and have a number of other advantages:

• saving while maintaining high efficiency;
• rainproof;
• affect pests quickly (treatment results are noticeable after 1-3 hours), continue to protect plants for 3 weeks after treatment;
• does not reduce efficiency with increasing temperature;
• not phytotoxic;
• can be used in combination with most agrochemical compounds (fertilizers, insecticides with other active ingredients, pesticides).

The disadvantages of the drug include high cost, but it is offset by the cost-effectiveness of the product. Insects do not develop resistance to the insecticide. The drug begins to act immediately after the treatment of plants, the complete death of insect pests occurs in 1-2 days.

Consumption rate of the drug and working solution

The working solution of the drug is prepared before spraying. The instruction for the use of the drug contains precise recommendations for the consumption of the product, which should not be exceeded.

How many times per season to treat			1000-3000.During the growing season
500-1500. During the growing season	2.
			Break between treatments - 1-1.5 weeks.
0.125-0.15	Potato planting from the Colorado potato beetle	200-400. During the growing season	1

Processing is carried out in dry calm weather, it is better to do it in the morning or evening hours.

Important: do not spray flowering plants.

To prepare the working solution, half the required volume of water is poured into the tank, with the mixer turned on, the suspension is added, without stopping stirring, the rest of the liquid is added. The product is suitable for all types of sprayers. The surface of the leaves is processed, spraying is carried out immediately, upon detection of pests, without waiting for an increase in the number of insect colonies.After carrying out the work, the sprayer is freed from the remnants of the agent, all its parts are thoroughly washed.

Safety

Insecticide working solution is prepared in a protective suit, rubber gloves are put on hands, respiratory organs are protected with a respirator, eyes are protected with goggles. The product is safe for fish, earthworms, entomophages (predatory insects that feed on plant pests). The substance has a hazard class 3 for humans (medium toxicity) and is highly toxic (hazard class 1) for bees. Before processing plants, it is necessary to warn beekeepers in advance, 5-7 days in advance, to adjust the timing of the departure of insects.

Work on the preparation of the working solution and tank mixtures is carried out on special sites (covered with asph alt or concrete, for ease of washing), located away from residential and agricultural buildings. Unauthorized people, children, pets and farm animals are not allowed on the site.

Compatibility

A new generation biological preparation is compatible with fertilizers, insecticides with other active ingredients, herbicides. It is mixed with other insecticides to completely destroy all types of pests in the garden or in the summer cottage.

Terms and conditions of storage

The drug is stored in tightly closed original packaging. It is kept in a warehouse for agrochemical compounds, in dry and ventilated rooms, preventing the agent from freezing. Keep away from children, pets, feed and food. The shelf life of the drug is 2 years from the date of manufacture.
