Colorado potato beetles and wireworms are the main potato pests. Colorado plants and their larvae eat the tops, and wireworms spoil the tubers. Both have a bad effect on the harvest.
Spraying insecticides on the tops and grueling manual collection of insects helps against pests. And last year, a neighbor in her summer cottage shared her experience with us: she treats potato tubers with Tabu before planting. Colorado beetles and wireworms do not want to eat plants grown from treated tubers. And they run away from the site where they have nothing to profit from. The neighbor plants a lot of potatoes, and for her “Tabu” turned out to be a salvation. Taking the advice of a neighbor, this year we decided to try Tabu ourselves.
Composition and effect of the drug Tabu VSK
The Tabu insecticide contains the following substances:
- Imidacloprid
is an insecticidal substance of the neonicatinoids class. It is a synthetic analogue of natural alkaloids contained in tobacco. Its concentration per 1 liter of Tabu is 0.5 kg; - dyes
; - adhesives
; - antifreeze
; - dispersants
; - thickeners
.
Video about the Taboo product
The insecticide Tabu is used to treat potato tubers before planting, and is also added to planting holes or trenches when planting planting material.
.
When liquid Taboo gets on the potatoes, it immediately begins to harden, and a thin reddish film forms on the skin of the potatoes, which does not crumble even after planting. Pests feeding on tops or tubers die within 24 hours
– first they “lose” their appetite, then they stop moving, and as a result they die.
How to breed “Tabu” for processing potatoes?
According to the instructions, you must:
- Take 8 ml of the drug and pour it into the reservoir of the atomizer or sprayer.
- Pour 200 ml of water into it and shake.
- Fill the volume with water to 1 liter.
- Shake thoroughly again.
- Use the resulting solution (1 liter) to treat 100 kg of potato tubers before planting.
How we divorced:
In general, diluting Tabu for processing potatoes is simple. The difficulty arises only when calculating the dosage. 1 bottle contains 10 ml of the drug, while to prepare a dose of the solution you need to take 8 ml. Does this mean 2 ml for miscarriage? Neither this nor that
