Instructions for use of Diazol and insecticide composition, dosage and analogues

Harmful insects even feed on meadow grasses. And they cannot ignore more juicy and high-calorie cultivated plants. As soon as the earth begins to warm up in the spring, they emerge in huge numbers from the soil, from under plant debris, from cracks in the bark of trees. Plant seedlings are completely defenseless. Many insecticides have little effect during this still cool period. The use of "Diazol" is effective in early spring and before autumn frosts.

Active substance and release form

"Diazol" is produced in the form of an emulsion concentrate.Its active ingredient is the organophosphorus compound diazinon (600 g/l). The drug is packaged in plastic canisters with a capacity of 10 liters. Manufacturer: Adama.

Spectrum and mechanism of action of the insecticide

"Diazol" is lethal to beetles, flies, aphids, fleas, butterflies and moths. The insect comes under the influence of the poison when it lands on insecticide-treated plants and when it chews leaves or sucks juice from them. Adult insects and larvae of any age die. After Diazol dries on the surface of the plant, it stops being washed off by rain. The insecticide exhibits the longest period of protection at temperatures of 10-20 °C.

Consumption rate and application

On crops that have just sprouted, 100-200 liters of working fluid per hectare of field are used. For crops that have been developing for some time, 200-400 liters of a mixture of emulsion concentrate and water will be required. Its quantity is affected by the size and thickness of the sheets, air temperature, and pest density.

Corn ground beetles eat grains in ears; The larvae are especially harmful in spring and autumn by eating leaves. Cereal flies lay eggs over a long period. Their larvae (not visible from the outside), as well as stem fleas, damage growth tissues. Aphids weaken young plants by sucking out cell sap and secrete a poison that curls the leaves. Beetles of the common beet weevil eat the leaves, and the larvae damage the roots.

It is permissible to process beets and alfalfa twice a season. The maximum number of sprayings of other crops with the Diazol insecticide is once a year.

Precautions for use

The drug is moderately dangerous to humans and very dangerous to bees. Adult employees with medical clearance are sent to work with the Diazol insecticide. Personal protective equipment consists of:

• waterproof overalls;
• headdress;
• eye masks;
• rubber boots;
• chemical gloves;
• respiratory filter.

Before introducing the insecticide into the spraying mechanism, check that the nozzles are not clogged. The uniform application of Diazol over the entire surface of the crop is of great importance.

The action plan is discussed before entering the field. Once they start spraying, they stop talking. At the end of work or during a break, remove gloves so as not to stain your hands. Before eating or smoking breaks, wash your hands and face with soap. The toxic effect zone of sprayed “Diazol” is 200 m. Therefore, people who feel unwell are taken to such a distance and have lunch there. Here you can take off your respirators and masks and breathe deeply.

Beekeepers are notified of the location, time of spraying and waiting periods through the media 5 days before the event. Bees should not be allowed onto treated areas for 6 days. To protect the bees, do not spray flowering plants. Store the insecticide at a temperature of 0-35 ° C, with the name clearly readable on the packaging. Before entering a warehouse with chemicals, it is ventilated for half an hour.

Concomitant medications

"Diazol" is compatible in tank mixtures with other pesticides from the manufacturer "Adam", if the recommended periods of their use coincide. Increased phytotoxicity is possible only when mixed with the fungicide “Merpan” or sulfonylureas. Drugs from other manufacturers should be tested for neutrality in tank mixtures. This is done on small quantities of chemicals, observing them for half an hour. Flakes, foam, sediment are signs of a reaction that has occurred.

Substitutes

The industry produces enough insecticides that there is no need to stop at just one.
