The granules are packaged in packages weighing 600 grams. The plant treatment mix is easy to prepare. The agent quickly dissolves in water without forming a precipitate.

Pros and cons

Gardeners note that Insegar has many advantages.

The protective effect of "Insegar" lasts for 3 weeks. Homeowners also appreciate that the drug continues to work after rainfall. Pest extermination processes start within 2 hours after planting treatment.

Mechanism of action and purpose of the drug

"Insegar" protects fruit crops mainly from pests such as codling moth and leafworm. An effective remedy for aphids, as well as sucker or California scale insects.

Penetrating into the tissues of pests, the agent inhibits the development of larvae and causes their death. When exposed to caterpillars, the drug blocks their transition to another stage.

The effectiveness of the impact also depends on the timing of spraying the drug:

1. Apple trees are sprayed with Insegar in June. The choice of the period is important in order to have time to destroy the butterflies immediately after they appear. It is optimal to treat plants before the codling moths start laying eggs. At this time, the formation of the ovary begins on the trees, and pests cause irreparable damage to the future crop.
2. To cope with moths, the drug is used before the flowering of crops and, accordingly, before the mass distribution of butterflies.
3. Prevention of protection against leafworms is to prevent the appearance of caterpillars. Processing of trees and shrubs is carried out in the spring, when the larvae have not yet had time to pupate.

Depending on the goals, spraying is organized either before flowering or at the end of the process.

Consumption rate and instructions for use

Before processing plants prepare a working solution:

1. Check the condition of the sprayer, make sure that the holes in the tip are not clogged.
2. The tank is filled with half the norm of water.
3. Add "Insegar" in the dosage indicated in the instructions.
4. After stirring, pour in the rest of the liquid and then get to work.

When spraying, pause periodically and stir the solution to achieve a uniform structure throughout the process.

Prepare such an amount of the mixture that is enough for one treatment session. The prepared solution is used immediately. The working composition is stored for several hours.

Insegar usage rate:

Vine600Leaf Roller10001/30

Name of fruit crop	Recommended dosage, g	Pests	Drug consumption, l/ha	Number of treatments/pause between procedures
Plum	400	Codling moth	to 1200	3/30
Apple tree	600	Codling moth	about 1500	3/40

Spraying is carried out during the growing season of plants. When processing apple trees, 1 session is not enough. Therefore, after the application of Insegar, it is advisable to carry out the second spraying using a hormonal insecticide of a different chemical class.Agricultural technicians advise trying "Match", which has a negative effect on the egg laying of insects.

After each Insegar treatment session, it is recommended not to start other work on the area where the spraying was carried out for 3 days.

Insecticide Safety

The drug belongs to the 3rd class of toxicity. Therefore, when using an insecticide, safety measures are observed:

1. Do not use the product at a distance of 0.5 kilometers from water bodies or a kilometer from the flood zone.
2. Restrictions on the flight of bees range from 3 hours to a day.
3. Avoid leaving residues of the working solution in drinking water sources and fisheries facilities.
4. Processing of fruit crops is carried out early in the morning or after sunset to avoid chemical leaf burn.
5. The procedure starts only in calm weather.

Work with Insegar in overalls, gloves and goggles. A respirator reliably protects against harmful fumes.

Compatibility with other substances

Product is compatible with most pesticides with an alkaline reaction, which are used to protect green spaces from pests. But before mixing solutions in the sprayer tank, you must carefully study the instructions and check the compatibility of the products.
