Instructions for use of the drug Bushido from the Colorado potato beetle
Bushido from the Colorado potato beetle helps to protect against an arthropod that eats leaves and tops of nightshade crops. The remedy defeats parasites, before which other drugs are powerless. An insecticide from the neonicotinoid class not only cracks down on larvae and adults, but also helps to restore leaves and strengthen bushes.
Bushido, a new generation pesticide, paralyzes insects by acting on the digestive and nervous systems in 3 stages.
Description of the tool
The drug, which goes on sale in the form of granules, packaged in sachets weighing 500 and 200 mg, contains not one active ingredient, but three at once:
- Alpha-cypermethrin is not absorbed into potato tissue, but is deposited on the leaves. After eating the poison, the beetle dies.
- Clothianidin reanimates culture cells by penetrating into each of them.
- Imidacloprid prevents the pest from destroying plant tissues responsible for the process of photosynthesis.
Poisonous substances that, together with the foliage, enter the insect's body, interfere with the functioning of the nerve channels. After their penetration, paralysis of the entire system develops, the parasite dies.
The secret to efficiency
Many farmers and gardeners who process tomatoes, eggplants and potatoes prefer to use Bushido as this remedy for the Colorado potato beetle kills pests instantly. The secret of the effectiveness of the insecticide lies in the systemic action of the active ingredients. The drug simultaneously paralyzes insects and promotes plant growth and development. Bushido is also characterized by other advantages that not all chemicals have:
- the composition does not penetrate into the tubers;
- spent sparingly;
- does not wash off with water.
Insects die by sucking in sap or simply by touching the leaves. The composition acts most effectively during the first days, does not lose its properties for almost a whole month.
The insecticide can be combined with other drugs that are available to combat various pests. Timely processing of crops helps to preserve the harvest of vegetables.
