The advantage of the drug is its use in any weather, it has low toxicity and is characterized by excellent effectiveness. The product is applicable for targeted treatment of potato, eggplant, hop, tomato, rapeseed, and cereal crops.
Active substance and release form
"Bankol" is an insecticide of contact-intestinal type of action.In addition, it is an acaricide, which is used to get rid of parasites that chew the stem and suck the cell sap of plants.
The main base substance is bensultap. It was tested by Japanese scientists in the second half of 1981 and passed all stages of certification. Bensultap was first isolated from marine annelids. Then the substance began to be produced artificially. The synthetic is not inferior in quality to the natural neurotoxin.
How does it work and what is it used for?
The substance, prepared according to the instructions, enters the insect and begins to act on the parasite’s body through the blood. Gradually, “Bankol” paralyzes the insect’s nervous system, which leads to complete immobilization and death. The drug is used to get rid of parasites that have become established in vegetable or cereal crops.
Advantages of using Bankola:
- operates at temperatures ranging from -10 to +30 degrees;
- works against rare insect pests;
- is not addictive, so it can be effective for a long time;
- low toxicity;
- highly soluble when adding water
Reference! "Bankol" does not have a strong, distinct odor.
Instructions for use of insecticide
The suspension for spraying plantings is prepared in strict compliance with the instructions. The amount of the drug is calculated based on the type of crop that is being treated:
- To eliminate parasites on nightshade crops, take 2-3 grams of powder and mix with a small amount of water.The mixture is poured with 5 liters of water. The prepared solution should be enough to treat 100 square meters of plantings.
- To spray indoor flowers, mix 0.5 grams with 1 liter of water.
- If necessary, the spraying process is repeated. It is carried out 3 weeks after the first procedure.
- The solution prepared according to the instructions is used within 2-3 hours after mixing.
- To destroy the mole cricket, baits with powder are prepared. To do this, take 10 grams of powder per 10 kilograms of bait and mix until smooth. The bait is buried in the soil to a height of 3-5 centimeters.
- The alfalfa weevil, which traditionally lives on hops, is destroyed using a product at the rate of 700 grams per 1 hectare of plantings.
