Composition, release form and purpose of the Prestige dresser

Insect-fungicide from the German company Bayer is a low toxicity poison used against insects and some types of fungus.Prestige is available as a concentrated suspension. Sold in plastic bottles with a capacity of 20-1000 milliliters. Available in 5 liter packs. Before use, Prestige is diluted with water according to the instructions. The solution is used to treat potato tubers and the root system of vegetable and fruit crops.

Prestige contains insecticide imidacloprid, fungicide pencycuron. The insecticidal component helps protect plants from the Colorado potato beetle, wireworm, thrips, aphids, bears, moths, fleas, cicadas. The fungicide prevents the development of diseases such as rhizoctoniosis, common scab, and various rot.

Fungicide mechanism of action

Prestige contains an adhesive that allows you to use active substances with maximum efficiency. After the treatment of the root system, the contact-systemic insecticide begins to move throughout the plant - from the roots to the stems, leaves, and protects the crop from insects for up to 1-1.5 months.

Imidacloprid leads to the development of paralysis, the death of harmful organisms. Getting on potato tubers, the insecticide protects the tops that have appeared and the planting material itself from pests.

Fungicide, unlike the insecticidal component, does not move anywhere, it remains on the roots, partially absorbed into the soil, creating a protective zone around the plant against fungi. Pencicuron inhibits the germination of mycelium, inhibits biosynthetic processes inside fungi.

This contact action product disintegrates after 40 days.
