The insecticide "Tiara" is a systemic seed protectant that is used for sunflower, cereals, rapeseed, and potatoes. Thanks to the use of the substance, it is possible to protect against a complex of soil and ground parasites that lead to damage to sprouts. To cope with pests, you must follow the instructions.
Composition and release form of the drug "Tiara"
The active component of the product is considered to be thiamethoxam. 1 kilogram of the substance contains 250 grams of the ingredient.The product is produced in the form of a water-soluble concentrate. The drug is sold in 0.25 kilogram bottles.
Operating principle and purpose of the product
The active substance is quickly absorbed by the plant and is quickly distributed throughout the xylem, moving to distant growth points that protect the entire crop. The composition produces a contact effect on the parasite. Its action begins when the parasite comes into contact with the working fluid.
Thiamethoxam affects the areas of the parasite’s nervous system that are responsible for its nutrition. As a result, it stops feeding, loses mobility and dies. Some pests die within half an hour after applying the product. The final death of the parasites occurs within 24 hours after using the composition.
Advantages of the drug
The main advantages of the product include the following:
- Resistance to external factors. The drug remains effective even in conditions of elevated temperatures, low humidity, and bright sunlight.
- Economical consumption of working fluid. This is true for any form of release.
- Maintaining protective properties for a long period of time.
- Destruction of most dangerous pests.
- Quick effect. The drug begins to work within a few minutes after spraying or applying to the soil.
Consumption rate and application
The seed protectant begins to act on parasites upon contact with the seeds. Also, its effect can manifest itself when absorbing seedlings or underground fragments of crops. The pests die within a few hours - it all depends on the dosage of the substance, the type of parasite, and the phase of crop development.
To make working fluid, it is recommended to do the following:
- Add half the required amount of water to the tank of the pickling machine and turn on the mixing unit.
- Add the measured volume of “Tiara”.
- If necessary, add other funds. They must first be checked for compatibility.
- Add the remaining volume of water to the specified volume.
- Continue mixing throughout the entire period of preparing the working solution and performing etching.
- Use the working fluid within 24 hours after production.
- After completing the work, rinse the container containing the substance with water.
For the composition to work, it is important to use pure seed material for dressing that does not contain impurities. This will help to significantly improve the quality of etching. It is necessary to systematically monitor the quality of the procedure. This is done according to the degree of coloring and the volume of consumption of the substance.
The drug is characterized by a high degree of resistance to ultraviolet radiation and the effects of elevated temperatures. However, the most optimal indicators are considered to be a temperature of +15-25 degrees and a humidity of at least 50%.
It is recommended to spray the plantings in the morning or evening. In this case, the wind speed should be 3-4 meters per second. The drug is quickly absorbed. Due to this, after 1 hour most of the substance accumulates in the culture. Therefore, precipitation has virtually no effect on its effectiveness.
The dosage and features of use of the composition are given in the table:
Substance consumption rate, liters per 1 hectare | Culture | Pests | Features of using the composition | Waiting period (number of treatments) |
0,5 | Winter wheat | Bread ground beetle | The composition is used for treating seed material. For 1 ton, 1 liter of working solution is required. | — (1) |
0,5-1 | Barley, wheat | Flea beetles, leafhoppers, aphids, ground beetles, stem flies | ||
0,06 | Barley | Pjavica | The composition is used to treat plantings during the growing season. | 60 (1) |
0,04-0,06 | Barley, wheat | Pyavitsa, bedbugs | The product is suitable for treating crops during the growing season. | |
0,07-0,11 | Bread ground beetle | The product is used to treat sprouts. | 60 (1) |
The drug is compatible with other seed protectants that have a neutral chemical reaction. However, in each case, the substances being mixed should be checked for compatibility. You should not combine Tiara with preparations based on organic solvents.
Safety precautions
The insecticide poses a danger to bees. The border zone of summer for these insects is at least 4 kilometers. Of no small importance is the restriction of the flight of bees, which is at least 4 days after treatment.
