Contador v.r.k. - insecticide of systemic and contact-gastric action for combating pests of agricultural crops

Active substance: imidacloprid, 200 g/l
Preparative form: water-soluble concentrate
Manufacturer: Nertus LLC
Packaging: 1 l

Mechanism of action Contador:

The drug has a pronounced systemic effect and is characterized by high mobility when it enters the body of the plant. It is absorbed by the above-ground mass of plants, as well as by the roots. The active substance of the drug blocks the protein receptors of the nerve cells of the central nervous system, which makes it impossible to transmit nerve impulses. The pest loses the ability to move, stops feeding and dies within a day.

Characteristics and advantages:

- Due to its high systemic action, it provides protection against pests of all plant organs.
- Long period of protective effect of the drug from 15 to 30 days.
- The effectiveness of the drug does not depend on the weather conditions during the application of the insecticide.
- Relatively high resistance to being washed away by rain.
- It acts on both adult insects and their larvae of different ages.
- Relatively small rates of consumption per unit area.

Introduction of the drug Contador:

The drug is applied using groundsprayers. The maximum effectiveness of the drug will be observed when applying it, if the number of pests has reached the economic threshold of harmfulness. Processing should be carried out at a wind speed of up to 2 m/s.

The drug belongs to the 1st class of danger in relation to bees. The protective zone for the flight of bees should be 4-5 km, the time limit for the flight of bees is 9-10 days.

When using the drug in gardens - 800-1000 l/ha.
The flow rate of the working solution should ensure complete and uniform wetting of the surface of the plants during spraying and should not cause it to run off the surface of the treated plants. The working solution of the drug should be used during the working day.

Weather conditions:

The drug is characterized by resistance to high temperatures and solar radiation.
Air temperatures +12...+250C are optimal for using the drug. Rain 3-4 hours after using the drug does not affect its effectiveness.
It is not recommended to use the drug under stressful conditions for plant growth and development (night frosts, low (less than +120) or high (more than +250) air temperature, air humidity less than 50%, etc.).
