The Cruiser disinfectant is a systemic pesticide that is used to treat seeds. Thanks to the use of this product, it is possible to protect planting material from parasites and pests. The drug is easily combined with fungicides and micronutrients. In this case, the substance does not have symptoms of resistance. The composition belongs to the class of low toxicity and does not harm people and the environment.
Composition and preparative form of the disinfectant
The active component of the product is considered to be thiamethoxam.In 1 liter of the substance there are 350 grams of the substance. The drug is released in the form of a flowable suspension concentrate. It can be purchased in packages of 20, 200, 1000 liters.
Operating principle and range of action
The Cruiser disinfectant provides effective protection of seed material and new plant shoots. The drug stops the movement of nerve impulses that pass between nerve endings. This leads to the cessation of feeding by the insect and its death. This mechanism helps eliminate the risk of developing cross-resistance to the composition.
The composition has a number of advantages:
- successfully copes with soil and emergence parasites - the effect of the substance lasts 6-8 weeks;
- helps maintain optimal sprout density with minimal seed consumption;
- does not have a negative impact on the planting characteristics of seeds - they can be stored for 1 year after treatment and not lose their quality;
- increases resistance to stress factors.
Instructions for use and consumption rate
The insecticide for seed treatment is used in diluted form. To prepare the solution, you must follow the following sequence of actions:
- Fill half the tank with water.
- Shake the canister with the substance before use.
- Add the required volume of the Cruiser.
- Pour in the required volume of water.
- During the entire processing, it is important that the composition is well mixed.
- When filling the tank, the hose that supplies water should be higher than the water level.
- After using the substance, the canister must be rinsed with water and the liquid added to the working solution.
Depending on the type of seeds and type of equipment, it is worth using 8-14 liters of solution per 1 ton.
The working solution must be used within 24 hours after preparation. After processing, all equipment must be washed.
In order for the disinfectant to achieve the desired effect, it is recommended to follow these rules:
- Use clean, undamaged seeds for dressing. This will help ensure high quality processing.
- Do not use seeds that have been previously treated with other means.
- Systematically control the quality of etching. This requires visual control of the uniformity of seed coverage. In this case, it is important to focus on the level of staining and the standards for using the working solution.

The insecticidal disinfectant is characterized by optimal solubility. Therefore, it is perfect for processing planting material. This feature ensures good diffusion in the shoots in combination with low losses in the soil.
When using the drug, the likelihood of damage to the skin, eyes, and respiratory organs is significantly reduced. When the substance is applied to tubers or seeds, it does not generate dust. At the same time, the composition minimizes product losses and provides the desired effect in the field.
Safety precautions when using the Cruiser
The drug must be kept in its original packaging.It is recommended to do this separately from food products and out of reach of children. The storage temperature should be 0…+35 degrees. While processing seed material, it is prohibited to eat, drink or smoke. The use of personal protective equipment is of no small importance. After finishing work, you need to wash your hands and face with soap.
When a substance is spilled, it must be collected and buried in a specially designated area. In this case, the packaging must be burned. If the drug gets into your eyes or skin, they must be rinsed with clean water. If symptoms of illness appear, you should consult a doctor.
Compatibility with other pesticides
The Cruiser disinfectant is combined with many fungicidal agents that can be used to treat seed material. However, it is important to evaluate the compatibility of such tools in each case.
The insecticide can be combined with polymer agents for the protective treatment of planting material. Also, in addition to Cruiser, you can use other products in the form of aqueous fluid emulsions that have a neutral reaction. The composition cannot be combined with drugs that are made on the basis of organic solvents.
Terms and conditions of storage
The shelf life is 5 years from the date of production. In this case, the drug must be kept in a dry and dark place. It must be kept out of reach of children and animals.
