Chemical aphids - an overview of the best deals on the modern market

Every spring, thousands of gardeners go to their suburban areas, do a great job and look forward to the emergence of seedlings. But joy is overshadowed by garden pests, which ruthlessly destroy entire plantations of young plants. Among the many "uninvited guests" stands aphid. This small-sized parasite sucks the juices from leaves and shoots, and thereby leads to planting death. Today on the industrial market there are many products that can help farmers in the fight against this insect. Modern remedies for aphids are very diverse and differ in their toxicity, principle of operation and effectiveness.

Aphids

Aphid, as a pest, is special in that it is able not only to dry part of the seedlings and adult plants, but also cause the development of some viral infections. Thus, the culture, in the cultivation of which the gardener puts a tremendous amount of labor, is immediately exposed to two dangers. How to prevent a threat?

Today, the manufacturer offers the consumer three groups of aphid preparations:

• contact action - they kill insects by penetrating their body through chitinous integuments;
• intestinal action - when sprayed, the drug enters the digestive system, then is absorbed into the blood, paralyzes the pest and kills it;
• systemic actions - have the longest life. As a result of processing, the plants absorb the active substance and retain it for 2-4 weeks. Moreover, even in rainy weather, their effectiveness does not decrease. Aphids feed on poisoned juices and die.

Important! Among all groups of chemicals, the most dangerous for humans are representatives of the third group - systemic. They are based on a substance called imidacloprid. It is necessary to use system tools with extreme caution, having previously studied all points of the instruction!
