Intended Use and Application

To protect vegetables, horticultural and ornamental plants, flowers from caterpillars of Lepidopterous pests (white butterflies; cabbage, apple and fruit moth; American white butterfly; cutworms, borers; leaf rollers; corn worm and meadow moth, sawflies, etc.). For outdoor plants, it is preferable to carry out treatment in dry windless weather, avoiding direct sunlight, in the morning or in the evening. The maximum protective effect is achieved when treating plants against caterpillars of younger ages. The biopreparation is applied in the form of a solution, which is prepared according to the rates specified in the table. The interval between treatments is 7-14 days. Last treatment is carried out in 5 days before harvesting. Due to long period of oviposition and reappearance of caterpillars, subsequent treatments should be carried out after 5-10 days. In case of heavy precipitation, treatment is repeated immediately after their cessation. Optimal air temperature for treatment is from 18°C to 30°C; temperature of the water solution - 12-25°C. To improve the efficiency of the preparation solution, you can add the bioadhesive LIPOSAM or ENPOSAM. It is compatible in tank mixture with other plant protection preparations.
