Alatar from the Colorado potato beetle: instructions for using the product

How you want to do without chemicals when growing vegetables, find a way to rid the planting of parasites. But such times are gone, and dangerous garden pests, like the Colorado potato beetle, do not leave us the opportunity to do without insecticidal agents. The chemical industry produces many effective products that have a universal action against parasites and do not harm the environment, birds and animals. One of these drugs is Alatar.

Product description

Alatar is released as a liquid, transparent, with a sharp unpleasant odor. The insecticide consists of 2 potent substances: karbofos or malathion and cypermethrin.

About karbofos it is known that it belongs to broad-spectrum insecticides, is a representative of the class of organophosphorus compounds. In mixtures with other substances, malathion is actively used in agriculture to destroy harmful insects. Once in the body of parasites, malathion turns into a more toxic substance.

Cypermethrin added to Alatar is recognized worldwide as effective against many harmful insects that destroy cultivated plants in fields and home gardens. The substance causes paralysis of the nervous system of larvae and adults, remaining on the treated plants for up to 20-30 days. If parasites become resistant to karbofos, then cypermethrin destroys it.

As part of Alatar, both substances reliably protect vegetable gardens and orchards from parasites all season long. Thanks to the adhesive in the composition of the liquid, the insecticide is retained for a long time on the treated surfaces, not being washed off by rain. The product does not degrade under the influence of ultraviolet rays.

They produce a concentrated insecticidal solution in ampoules of 5 milliliters and vials of 25. Use the product in accordance with the instructions, diluting in the right amount of water.

Insecticide belongs to hazard class 3 for humans and class 1 for bees.
