What is it used for and how to use "Vertimek" in the garden and vegetable garden. The drug from the tick - Vertimek

Spider mites, aphids, and other insects destroy entire plantings of crops, harm bushes and trees. Instructions for use are attached by the manufacturer to each package of Vertimek insecticide. Following the annotation, it is possible to cope with insects, save the plant from death.

On vegetable crops, aphids that drink the juice from the leaves appear during the fruiting period. They twist, the ovary crumbles, the bush disappears. The spider mite infects cucumbers grown in greenhouses. The pest settles at the bottom of the leaves, pulling moisture out of them.

The gall nematode, which is only 1.5 mm long, loves the roots of the culture. Having taken root in the tissues, it releases toxic substances, under the influence of which growths are formed, where the larvae settle.

Vertimek copes with mites and thrips, fights other types of pests on cucumbers, horticultural crops and flowers.

How does an insecticide work?

The active ingredient of the drug is abamectin. This substance is formed when bacteria living in the soil begin to ferment. The chemical group to which it belongs was isolated in Japan at the end of the last century.

When spraying the plant, the insecticide solution penetrates the inside of the leaves. The insect swallows the composition along with the juice. Vertimek, releases gamma-aminobutyric acid, which acts on the nervous system of pests, so paralysis breaks them. From the surface of the leaves, abamectin quickly moves into the tissues. The drug has practically no effect on birds and beneficial insects.

To obtain a positive result when processing cucumbers in closed ground, the solution must be sprayed evenly over their surface, making sure that drops of the composition do not drip from the leaves.

Advantages of an insecticide

Vertimek effectively protects cucumbers from mites, which are not affected by other acaricides. The drug copes with thrips and mining insects, has certain advantages over many insecticides:

1. After spraying, it immediately penetrates into the tissues of the leaves.
2. Protects crops from pests for a long time.
3. It does not worsen the structure of plants, it is normally tolerated by them.
4. Insects are paralyzed within an hour or two.
5. It has little effect on beneficial fauna.

There are no spots left on the leaves during the processing of the culture. Cucumbers after spraying can be consumed after three days. The insecticide belongs to hazard class 2, but it acts on pests not only through the intestines, but also by contact.

With the invasion of insects, the plant is treated again in a week.

It is impossible to spray cucumbers and other crops at high temperatures and high humidity.

So that pests do not get used to the composition, the drug must be alternated with Pegasus, Aktellik, which have a different mechanism of action.

How to use an insecticide?

Timely use of Vertimek for cucumbers saves the plant from death, quickly destroys insects. Processing should begin as soon as pests begin to appear. Sometimes one spray per season is enough. If there is a need for a second procedure, they are processed after a week, during the heat after three days:

After the composition gets on the leaves, the cucumber bushes are covered with a film for a day. Vertimec should be used 2-3 hours after dilution.

To cope with thrips, it is enough to dilute a teaspoon of insecticide in a bucket of water. When spraying plants from ticks, dissolve 2.5 ml of Vertimek in 10 liters of liquid.

To process cucumbers from leaf miners that gnaw through passages in plant tissues, 1 gram of acaricide is mixed with a liter of water.

Security measures

Despite the fact that the insecticide belongs to the II class of toxicity, it must be handled with care. In case of contact with the skin, the composition can cause burns, if inhaled, it leads to irritation of the nasal mucosa, to redness of the eyes. To avoid the presence of unpleasant phenomena, it is necessary:

1. Spray the crop in the morning or evening when there is no wind.
2. During the procedure, refuse to eat, smoke, drink.
3. Eyes should be protected with goggles, breathing paths with a respirator.
4. Wash face and hands with soap after treatment.

The insecticide does not lose its properties for 4 years if stored in a dry, cool room where the temperature is not lower than minus 15. Food and medicine should not be nearby.

If Vertimek gets into the eyes, they are washed with running water. In case of poisoning with the drug, they induce vomiting, drink several tablets of activated charcoal, and consult a doctor. Do not take drugs that depress the nervous system. After using the acaricide, the packaging must be burned.

The main active ingredient is abamectin(concentration - 18 g/l). This is a naturally occurring substance. It is obtained as a result of the vital activity of the fungus Streptomyces avermitilis. Plants are treated with this tool in order to protect them from ticks, apple sucker, and miners. It is they who do not allow plants to develop fully.

Release form - emulsion concentrate, packaging - a bottle of 250 or 1000 ml.
The drug belongs to the second class of danger. This should not be sprayed during flowering, as it has a detrimental effect on other pollinating insects. It is also not recommended to use it near nests and ponds, as it is toxic and dangerous for the inhabitants of ponds.

Did you know?Ticks lay up to 3,000 eggs in plant stems.

Mechanism of action

Important! Insects can quickly get used to the drug with frequent spraying. In order to avoid this, alternate the drug with other chemicals.

Recommendations for use for flower, horticultural and horticultural crops

Now that we have discussed the mechanism of action of Vertimek, let's move on to the instructions for use.

Mechanism of action

Insecticide Vertimek is a neurotoxin type of action. Once in the body of a pest, it immediately begins to stimulate the release of gamma-aminobutyric acid, which helps to prevent the transmission of a nerve impulse, which causes paralysis of pests.

The first signs of insect damage begin to appear within a day. They become less active, their movements are inhibited. After 2-3 days, paralysis sets in, and then death.

Advantages of Vertimek

• Reliably protects crops from spider mites, thrips and mining pests;
• Effectively acts against ticks that are resistant to other acaricides;
• Acts as an excellent partner in anti-resistance programs;

• The insecticide is equally effective on pests that have accumulated both on the outer and inner side of the leaf plate;
• Due to the long protection period (approximately 1 month), the number of plant treatments is reduced;
• Vertimec insecticide is not phytotoxic;
• In greenhouses and greenhouses, harvesting can be done as early as 3 days after spraying;
• Possessing translaminar activity, after spraying, it penetrates into all plant tissues within the first 2 hours;
• After processing the crops, the working solution does not leave spots on their leaves, does not cause burns.

Instructions for use

The first treatment of crops is carried out when harmful insects appear on them. If the pest colony is not numerous, it will be enough to carry out only 1 spraying. If their number exceeds the economic threshold of harmfulness, then with an interval of 1 week, you can re-process.

Spraying should be carried out in such a way that the substance completely wets the leaves, while avoiding its contact with the soil, as well as its runoff from the foliage. Upon completion of work, the plant should be covered with plastic wrap for a day.
