The liquid is bottled in 1 liter bottles.
Benefits of use
The drug is economical to use, has a low application rate and consumption of the finished liquid.
Operating principle and range of action
The insecticide is designed to kill tortoiseshell bugs, grain flies and thrips on wheat, but it is also used on sunflower, corn, canola, peas, soybeans, sorghum, melons and apple trees, treating them against many types of pests characteristic of them.
Imidacloprid actively penetrates into treated plants through their leaves and shoots, acts on the central nervous system of insect pests, suppresses the transmission of nerve signals, they cannot move and stop feeding. Lambda-cyhalothrin also disrupts the functions of the central nervous system, affecting calcium metabolism in nerve fibers. Poisoning ends in paralysis and inevitable death of the pests. "Canner Duo" ensures quick and accurate destruction of a variety of pests. Suppresses the development of tick larvae and adult arachnids, and prevents the growth of their number.
Instructions for use
Insecticide application rate for wheat: 0.04-0.12 l per hectare. Spray twice during the growing season, consumption – 200-400 liters per hectare. The waiting period is set at 40 days. For sunflower, corn, rapeseed, soybeans, sorghum and melons, the application rate is 0.05-0.15 liters per hectare. For peas - 0.05-0.1 l, for apple trees - 0.1-0.15 l. Consumption for all crops is 200-300 liters per hectare.
Spray the crops with a solution of this insecticide when pests just begin to appear. It is important to apply the solution evenly to the leaf surface and all above-ground parts of plants for maximum effectiveness of the product.
The product works well at temperatures from 12 °C to 22 °C. If the insecticide is applied at temperatures higher than optimal, it will reduce its effectiveness due to the fact that lambda-cyhalothrin will not work. In hot weather, it is recommended to increase the liquid consumption to at least 300 liters per hectare and mix the insecticide with the Agrosurfactant Extra in an amount of 0.2 liters per hectare. The mixture wets the leaves better and passes through the wax coating on their surface more actively.
