The principle and spectrum of action of the insecticide "Euphoria"
The drug contains 2 active components.They belong to different chemical classes and complement each other well. This helps to achieve long-term protection of crops in the fields and avoid the development of resistance. At the same time, it is not recommended to use the composition in subsidiary farming.
Lambda-cyhalothrin has a pronounced effect on harmful insects. In this case, instant paralysis occurs. The composition differs in its contact-intestinal properties. It provides a rapid effect and interacts with sodium channels in membranes. This substance quickly penetrates the cuticle of the parasite and affects the nervous system.
Thiamethoxam enters the plant structure and remains there for up to 3 weeks. Thanks to this, the substance provides long-term protection against pests that appear after using the substance.
The product helps to cope with different types of pests. With its help, it is possible to get rid of the Colorado potato beetle, ground beetle, and cabbage moth. The substance also successfully destroys pea aphids, leech, intrastem flies and other parasites.
