Insecticidal preparations are used in agriculture and personal plots to treat crops of various types against harmful insects. Some of the most common products are based on pyrethroids. Let's consider the purpose, rules for treating plants, the composition and release form of Arrivo, the mechanism of action of the insecticide, and safety precautions when working with it. How long can it be stored and under what conditions, what similar drugs can be replaced.
Principle of action and composition of the product
The manufacturer of the Arrivo insecticide, FMS Corporation, produces it in the form of a concentrated emulsion; the product is produced in canisters with a capacity of 5 liters. It contains cypermethrin in the amount of 250 g per 1 liter. The insecticide acts on insects by intestinal and contact type of action.
Mechanism and spectrum of action
Cypermethrin is highly toxic to many types of pests and has a protective period of medium duration. The substance acts on the central nervous system of insects, paralyzes them and leads to death. Partially destroys eggs left by insects.
Crops are treated with Arrivo solution throughout the growing season. The protective effect lasts 2 weeks. The solution can be sprayed with any sprayer. It is recommended to use the drug when pests spread massively throughout the crop. "Arrivo" destroys insects that are resistant to other insecticides (with FOS, carbamates and chlorocarbons).
Norms and rules of use
The rate of application of Arrivo will be different for different crops:
- wheat – 0.2 l per ha;
- corn – 0.15-0.32;
- beets and potatoes – 0.48;
- cruciferous – 0.14-0.24;
- pastures – 0.1-0.15;
- deciduous and coniferous – 3 ml per sq. m;
- pine from weevils – 0.04-0.1.
Vegetables and grain crops, according to the instructions for use, are processed during the growing season. On corn and wheat, 2 treatments are carried out, on other crops - 1. Consumption - 200-400 liters per hectare. The waiting period is 20 days. Pastures are sprayed during the period when the larvae develop; 200-400 liters are spent per hectare.After processing wild vegetation, you cannot pick berries and mushrooms in this area for the entire season.
Pine seedlings are sprayed before planting, spending up to 5 liters per seedling. Coniferous and deciduous trees are treated against pests that damage the bark by injecting the drug under the bark per 1 square meter. I need to spend 3 ml of product. Arrivo solution can be sprayed on stacked wood. Application rate – 2-4 ml per 1 sq. m, consumption – up to 5 liters per 100 sq. m. Processing is carried out once.
Safety precautions when working with Arrivo
The hazard class of the insecticide is 2, for bees – 1. The drug is considered toxic to beneficial insects, therefore it cannot be used in areas located near apiaries. It is prohibited to use this product in areas adjacent to water bodies and fisheries.
When working with the product, you only need to wear protective clothing, gloves, goggles and a respirator. It is necessary to carefully protect the eyes, mouth and skin from contact with the solution.
If Arrivo insecticidal solution gets on your skin or eyes, rinse them immediately with clean water for at least 15 minutes. If the solution gets into the stomach, you should immediately drink 1 liter of water and take activated carbon tablets (1 g per 10 kg of weight). After 15 minutes, induce vomiting. If the poisoning is serious, and your own measures have not helped, you need to consult a doctor.
Drug interactions
"Arrivo" can be combined with pesticides, except those that show an alkaline reaction. In each case of use, a preliminary compatibility check must be done. Products are considered compatible if they do not produce a violent chemical reaction with the release of heat, sediment, or color changes.If the substances begin to react when mixed, the plants cannot be treated with such a solution. Not only will it not be effective, but it can also be harmful.
