Drug prestige
Natalia: Is it true that prestige has the ability to move “from bottom to top”? And potatoes at the time of harvesting can be considered clean, since the accumulation occurs in the upper parts of the plant? Then why is it recommended to process the roots of eggplant. Imidacloprid is used in cockroaches. Is this correct as a means of contact. Does imidacloprid work against whiteflies? How to process correctly to get the result? Thanks.
Answer: Natalia, hello! The drug Prestige really has this property. It protects the roots and shoots of the plant from scab, rot, Colorado and May beetle, aphids and whiteflies. By treating the roots of eggplant, you create a protective barrier to the root system. After a few hours, the drug reaches the leaves and stems. Fruits that are eaten after harvest are safe, as the chemical compounds completely decay 40 days after processing. Accordingly, your eggplant will get "clean" on your table.
Indeed, imidacloprid is the basis of some drugs for bugs and cockroaches. The active substance of the popular and effective Confidant is imidacloprid. The insecticide does not have a pungent odor and works up to 2 months.
For the treatment of cultures from whiteflies, imidacloprid-based preparations are used: Biotlin, Warrant. Spraying is carried out during the growing season. The preparation of a working emulsion is described in the instructions for the preparations.
