By studying catalogs of current insecticides and communicating on forums, gardeners select reliable protection for future crops and perennial crops. Experienced summer residents know: the success of the season depends on the first treatment, which destroys overwintered pests. Someone, out of habit, floods the garden with Bordeaux mixture. Its effectiveness and relevance are still beyond doubt. But many are looking for new products of a wide range. Among the insectoacaricides that are gaining popularity is Preparation 30.

This simple name was given to a potent but low-hazard product by Krasnodar agrochemists. Since 1994, specialists from NPF Sober have been developing drugs for large agricultural enterprises and private farms.

The insecticide “30 plus” is produced here with the characteristics of an acaricide, ovicide, and pesticide.

“Preparation 30 PLUS” is one of the best broad-spectrum insectoacaricides in the early spring. The material includes the composition, purpose, principle of action, processing regulations, restrictions, features of the drug’s compatibility with other pesticides, etc.

Conclusions and recommendations

1. It is definitely recommended for use both independently and when used together with other insectoacaricides, fungicides, etc.

2. Early spring treatment is carried out once to destroy overwintered pests and clutches of their eggs/larvae, but if necessary, repeated treatment can be carried out in mid-summer when scale insects appear.

3. You should beware of counterfeits - counterfeit products of the drug “30 Plus” have appeared. Thus, at least two counterfeits were noticed, produced by KHIMPRODUKT LLC, Voronezh and Volgokhim-Polymer LLC, Volgograd. Counterfeits are easily distinguished by appearance, as shown in the photo. I recommend purchasing the drug only in specialized garden stores and departments.

Purpose

“Preparation 30 PLUS” in terms of its effect on organisms is a pesticide of wide use - it belongs to acaricides, insecticides, and ovicides.

The pesticide is developed and used to protect fruit trees (apple, pear), berry bushes (raspberries, gooseberries, currants), grapes, citrus crops, ornamental plants and conifers from the wintering stages of pests during the dormant and growing season:

• scale insects;
• false scale insects;
• aphids;
• butterflies (caterpillars);
• whiteflies;
• copperheads;
• moles;
• worms.

It has a pronounced ovicidal effect - it destroys wintering eggs of insects and plant mites (bud mite, spider mite, felt mite, etc.).

In addition to using the drug as an insectoacaricidal and ovicidal agent, it has the properties of adjuvants (adhesives), which significantly increase the effectiveness of treatments.

Peculiarities

Every time spring comes, every gardener thinks about the question of how to get rid of pests that were able to survive the winter. The question is complicated by the fact that such parasites are very small, and therefore had the opportunity to overwinter in the bark, sheltering from the cold.

In order to achieve maximum results, experienced gardeners recommend starting to spray before the flowering period begins. This will kill the pests while they are still dormant. Naturally, such strong products have synthetic components in their composition.

Composition, formulation and manufacturers

Active ingredient: Vaseline oil 760 g/kg. , preparative form – oil emulsion concentrate (OEM).

The developer, manufacturer and registrant is NPF Sober LLC. The company produces the drug in containers from 1 liter. up to 100 l. The main products of this manufacturer go to the needs of industrial agricultural production in the Krasnodar Territory, Dagestan, etc.

Range of pesticide products "Preparation 30 PLUS"

Release form

The drug is available for sale in the form of a paste placed inside a 250 ml container. Larger containers can also be found on sale. The main components used are:

• Vaseline oil
• Synthetic additives (minerals)

For large-scale horticultural farms, products are available for sale in containers from 10 to 200 liters. This is much more convenient on an industrial scale than using 250 ml containers.

Operating principle of “Drug 30 PLUS”

According to the method of penetration, the drug “30 PLUS” is a contact pesticide.

The principle of action of the drug is based on the fact that the pest insect is enveloped in a thin oil film, as a result of which the insect dies from suffocation. In addition, the mineral-oil emulsion dissolves chitin - the protective shells of insects, larvae, eggs, etc.

Also, the oil film prevents the germination of fungal spores, protecting plants from fungal diseases, which makes it possible to evaluate the drug as a fungicide.

Purpose of the drug

The product is widely used to protect ornamental plants, gardens, vineyards, citrus fruits, and acts systemically as an acaricide and insecticide - affecting flying pests. It also acts as an ovicide - killing pupae and eggs, as a pesticide.

The main purpose is to treat perennial crops in early spring against various parasites that survive the winter. Insecticide 30 Plus is recognized by experts as the best means for treatment in the spring. It is used individually and also in combination with other insecticides, fungicides, and herbicides.

The drug is used both on individual farms and on small farms; it is often used by large agricultural enterprises in the Krasnodar region, and fruit partnerships in the Crimea and Caucasus regions.

According to the type of effect, the medicine has the properties of a contact pesticide, mainly aimed at defeating the following parasites:

• moth, aphid;
• copperheads;
• ticks;
• scale insects;
• whitefly;
• Scale insects.

Regulations for working with the pesticide “Preparation 30 PLUS”

The use of mineral-oil emulsions is usually associated with early spring treatments of perennial plantings against a complex of wintering pests.

The consumption rate of Preparation 30 PLUS is 500 ml. for 10 l. water, which is enough to treat about 100 m2, or 2-5 liters. per bush/tree, depending on age and crown size.

Work regulations for private household plots

Regulations for working with “Preparation 30 PLUS” for private household plots
Spraying is carried out before buds open in the spring at a temperature not lower than +4°C in dry, windless weather. It is important to ensure uniform wetting of the trunk and branches of the plant with the working solution.

The speed of initial impact is 6-24 hours after treatment.

The protective action period is 14 days.

As a rule, one treatment is sufficient. Repeated treatment is used in the summer, mainly for ornamental plants and conifers when “stray” scale insects of the 1st and 2nd generation appear.

Precautionary measures

Despite its low toxicity, in high concentrations the product can cause poisoning or irritation to the skin.

It is necessary to observe safety measures when working with the drug

When working with it you must:

• use goggles, a respirator, protective clothing, gloves;
• work in calm, dry weather;
• do not work in the presence of children and animals;
• do not use food utensils for work;
• After treatment, wash your hands and face.

Compatibility

Insecticide compatibility

“Preparation 30 PLUS” can be combined with other insectoacaricides, which significantly enhances the ovicidal effect for most insect pests. The mixtures destroy both the mobile stages and the eggs.

Fungicide compatibility

It is allowed to combine fungicides with Preparation 30 PLUS. Such mixtures are much more effective, since the preparations, due to the oil film, remain on the leaves and bark of plants for as long as possible.

In vineyards, “Preparation 30 Plus” in a mixture with acaricides is indispensable in the fight against felt mites and acarinosis, in a mixture with fungicides with anthracnose and black spot in the 2-3 leaf development phase of plants.

Important: “Preparation 30 PLUS” is compatible with other fungicides except sulfur.

Herbicide compatibility

In the composition of herbicides, a mineral-oil emulsion changes their properties - the active substances more easily reach and remain on the surfaces of plant leaves, especially those with a hairy or waxy cover. When “Preparation 30 PLUS” is added to herbicides, the effect is enhanced and allows the dosage of glyphosphates to be reduced (up to 30%). This is important for young plants less than 3 years old.

What can you combine with?

"30 Plus" can be combined with drugs, except those that contain sulfur. It is considered an excellent base for tank mixtures; when mixed together, it reduces product consumption and enhances efficiency. “30 Plus” is also used against diseases of fruit trees; they are sprayed with a mixture of this insecticide and copper sulfate. General use with FOS is allowed.

When mixing products whose compatibility is unknown, you must first conduct a test mixing in a separate container. Take a few ml of both drugs, mix and check if they react. If the initial chemical or physical characteristics of the liquids change, the products must not be mixed.

Benefits of use

Preparations based on MME - mineral oil emulsions - are widely used by gardeners and winegrowers. The main thing that determines their choice of “Drug 30 PLUS” is:

1. The drug is not phytotoxic;
2. Combines the properties of an acaricide, insecticide, ovicide and adjuvant;
3. Effectiveness associated with early spring treatments;
4. Possibility of use on crops where the use of synthetic pesticides is prohibited;
5. Safety associated with the absence of chemical components. The oil base of the drug is absolutely safe for humans and warm-blooded animals, and is easily biodegradable;
6. Lack of resistance.

Safety precautions

Gardeners often do not attach importance to protective equipment if the instructions indicate hazard class 3 or state that the product is non-toxic. But you should not neglect the manufacturers' recommendations.

Even agricultural products labeled with the prefix “bio” oblige summer residents to use:

• Masks or respirators to prevent liquid from entering the mucous membranes of the mouth, nose and inhalation of small particles.
• Goggles to protect your eyes.
• Wear gloves, long sleeves, a high collar or a hood that covers the skin.

It is strictly forbidden to combine garden cultivation and smoking, drinking, or eating. After using even low-hazard products, wash your hands and rinse your face.

"30 plus" does not harm the bees, which arrive after the buds open. If there is a need to treat crops with blooming flowers, then other means are used.
