• roses;
• currant;
• cucumbers;
• tomatoes;
• pepper;
• cabbage;
• viburnum;
• dill;
• raspberries;
• indoor plants and others.

Description and features of the drug

The action is based on the penetration of a toxic substance through the gastrointestinal tract of the pest. After treatment, Tanrek is first absorbed into the root system of the plant. When insects taste poisoned greens, the insecticidal substance affects the central nervous system of the bugs, it becomes immobilized. As a result, the aphid dies, and along with it the bugs that fed on it.

Take note! "Tanrek" has a prolonged effect, which applies to adult parasites and their larvae. Effectiveness lasts for two to four weeks. It is enough to spray once, since the composition is not washed off by rain.

Its feature is as follows:

1. It affects systemically, including the central nervous system.
2. Can destroy ground beetles, weevils, but not ticks and other arthropods.
3. Protection lasts for 30 days.
4. The toxic substance gets exclusively into the root part, and not into the berries (fruits). Therefore, “Tanrek” against aphids and whiteflies can be used with a drip irrigation system for the garden.
5. Has high sensitivity.

After spraying, crops that are hypersensitive to this drug may begin to turn yellow. For example: orchids and conifers. But if other chemicals have been used up to this point, then you need to look for the root of the problem by eliminating previous options and including special additives.

Biological products

Aktara: instructions for use, reviews, how to dilute

Aphids can be destroyed using biological preparations. Their use will reduce the risk of negative consequences for plants.

"Iskra bio"

This drug does not contain components harmful to humans. Therefore, plants can be treated with it even 2 days before harvest. In addition to safety, Iskra Bio is efficient and economical. One 10 ml bottle is enough to spray an area of ​​50–100 m2.

"Fitoverm"

This aphid remedy is based on a substance obtained from the metaplasm of fungi. As soon as it enters the digestive system, the pest begins to lose the ability to move. This causes the aphid to starve and die from exhaustion after 72 hours.

Fitoverm dosages depend on the number of pests in the garden and the type of plant. However, in most cases, use 3-4 ml of product per 5 liters of water. The prepared solution is sprayed onto garden crops and the area around them.

"Trichopolus"

The basis of this plant medicine is metronidazole. Gelatin, starch and magnesium stearate are used as additional components. The drug is produced in the form of tablets.

"Aktofit"

This harmless biological product can be used for several seasons. It is not addictive to pests and has a long shelf life.

“Actofit” is sprayed on plants affected by aphids during the growing season. To prepare a poisonous emulsion, mix the required amount of the substance with water (¼ of the total volume). The product is infused for 5 minutes and diluted with the remaining liquid.

"Jaguar"

It has a rapid contact-intestinal effect and quickly destroys all pests. The product is used to protect fruit trees, shrubs and vegetable crops. Before use, 3 g of powder is dissolved in 5 liters of water. This amount of finished poison is enough to treat 100 m2.

"Fufanon"

This biological product has a systemic effect. Once the garden is sprayed, it becomes part of the insect's food chain and quickly kills it. "Fufanon" is used in the same way as "Trichopol". In this case, you need to be as careful as possible, since in excessive dosages the product harms the plant.

"Arrow"

“Strela” is a super powder that leaves no chance for aphids to survive. Its active ingredient is bitoxybacillin, which is often used in the manufacture of various pesticides.

The product is used to treat various garden crops. To do this, 50 g of powder is dissolved in 10 liters of water. The resulting mixture is sprayed not only on affected but also healthy plants.

"Bitoxibacillin"

This is the safest biological product with an intestinal effect. It is made from metabolic products of bacteria, which are absolutely harmless to humans, but poisonous to insects.

"Akarin"

This modern drug is designed to destroy aphids and prevent their reappearance. It quickly penetrates the insect's body and blocks its ability to absorb nutrients from plants. Because of this, the pest dies within a few hours.

The amount of Akarin used depends on the type of plant and ranges from 2 to 10 ml.

Suitable for protecting which plants

The majority of pests die during treatment, causing paralysis. It is also used to protect the following plant crops:

Video: Aktara processing of new violets and Cyclamens

It is better to take Aktara for flower greenhouses in ampoules of 1.2 g each. The ampoule is diluted in 6 liters of water for sporadic and moderate damage to plants or in 3 liters of water for severe damage. A portion of the working solution will be enough for approx. for 100-150 small plants and 200-300 large ones. For preventive watering, the same Aktara ampoule is diluted in a bucket of water. Watering rate is 50 ml per 1 liter of pot volume or 70 ml per 1 cubic meter. dm container for soil. For indoor plants, 10 liters of watering solution is plenty. To make it smaller, you need to take not an ampoule, but a 1.4 g package of VDG and divide it into parts, as described above. However, here every gardener has his own tricks, see for example. plot:

Reviews

Andreev: Tanrek is the best remedy for controlling aphids on currants: the pests curl the leaves, and treatment with other drugs is ineffective, but Tanrek copes because it is a systemic drug.

Natalya: I would not say that Tanrek does not drip from the leaves of plants. It still drips, especially from the pubescent ones. But the drug is good, so I add flea shampoo to the solution, which helps Tanrek deal with ticks: I drop 5 ml of shampoo onto a bucket of working solution.

Nikolai: I don’t know a better remedy for the Colorado potato beetle, although I’ve tried everything in my life. Unfortunately, in rainy summers you have to treat potatoes more than once, because the drug is washed off. But next year I will add an adhesive to the working solution. Let's see how it turns out.

Irina: I poisoned the red lily beetle with Tanrek, which was disfiguring the leaves of the lilies, and there was no mention of my pest on the packaging in the instructions. However, the drug worked perfectly.

Tatyana: It’s not true that one treatment with Tanrek per season is enough. Especially during the rainy season. But the drug copes with the beetle better than all other products that I have used in the potato field year after year. So for now Tanrek is a champion for me.

Efficiency and analogues

The effectiveness of the drug lies in the fact that the toxic substance is carried with the plant juice only into the leaves, and not into the fruits (berries). It is often used with a drip irrigation system. The protection period lasts about a month. So, one to three treatments per season are sufficient. If you notice that the result after the first procedure is minimal, it is worth repeating the process, but using a different insecticidal preparation - an analogue of Tanrek.

Analogues:

• "Confidor";
• "Prestige";
• "Taboo";
• "Kalash";
• "Bison";
• "Respect";
• "Monsoon";
• "Confidelin";
• "Biotlin Bau".

Their cost does not exceed 20 rubles per 1 ampoule of 1.5 ml.

Action of Tanrek

The active component of Tanrek is imidacloprid, which belongs to the class of neonicotinoids. Imidacloprid penetrates into plant tissues, as a result, pests feeding on these tissues cease their locomotor and feeding activity and die within 24 hours. Tanrek destroys both adults and larvae of pests at different stages of development. The period of protective action of the drug is from two to four weeks.

Analogs of Tanrek to one degree or another are the drugs Biotlin Bau, Zubr, Imidor, Kalash, Confidor, Corado, Prestige, Monsoon, Confidelin and Commander.

Additional tips and tricks

The most common mistake of most summer residents is preparing an insecticidal solution in double volume. The remainder is left for the next day, thinking that its effectiveness will continue, but this is not the case. Use the composition immediately after dilution, and there is no need to prepare a large volume at once.

Useful tips:

1. If it rains, postpone treatment until tomorrow. Ideal weather is sunny and calm.
2. Be sure to wear a waterproof cape and respirator. "Tanrek" has level III toxicity.
3. It is better to dispose of the remaining insecticidal composition; it is no longer suitable for next use. If you hate to throw it away, you can give it to your neighbor.
