Biological soil insecticide-fungicide for protecting crops from pests and diseases in the soil
COMPOSITION: spores
Metarhizium anisopliae, Trichoderma harzianum and their metabolic products. The total titer is not less than 108 CFU/ml.
FORM: water-soluble powder
STORAGE CONDITIONS: At a storage temperature of +2°C to +15°C, the shelf life is 2 months. Store the drug in a dry place protected from direct sunlight.
PROPERTIES OF THE DRUG
The drug is intended for combating soil pests, as well as for improving the soil.
Metarhizium anisopliae is an entomopathogenic
fungus, which grows in the soil and infects larvae and adults of pests. At the same time, it parasitizes pests and causes disease (mycosis), resulting in death. The most vulnerable pests that have a chitinous cover are: bear weevil, wireworm, larvae of May beetle, diabrotic, scoop larvae, Colorado beetle.
Trichoderma suppresses the development of phytopathogens by direct parasitism, competition for the substrate, the release of enzymes, antibiotics (gliotoxin, viridin, trichodermin, etc.) and other biologically active substances that suppress the development of many types of pathogens and inhibit their reproductive capacity. In the soil, the fungus develops on various plant residues rich in cellulose, on the mycelium of fruiting bodies of phytopathogens.
MECHANISM OF DRUG ACTION:
Upon contact with the pest's body, the drug's spores germinate within 10-12 hours and affect the nervous system, respiratory organs, intestinal tract, and muscle tissue. The pest becomes paralyzed and dies completely after a few days.
Trichoderma effectively reduces the number of pathogens in the soil through direct parasitism and competition for the nutrient environment. Also, thanks to mycorrhizal properties, trichoderma promotes better growth of the root system and plant nutrition.

An important condition for the effective operation of the drug is the presence of moisture. In dry soil, the effectiveness of the drug is significantly reduced.
FEATURES OF USE:
• The drug is applied by spraying the soil, with irrigation water or drip irrigation.
• Soil spraying is carried out in autumn and spring, best during the rainy season.
• Spraying is recommended to be carried out during the day from 18.00 to 10.00.
• After spraying the soil, it is necessary to immediately apply the preparation by harrowing, disking, cultivation or plowing.
• Application of the drug through drip irrigation is carried out during the entire growing season of the culture.
• Annual use of the MetaRiz™ drug helps to significantly reduce soil pests and improve the phytosanitary condition of the soil.
It is applied by spraying, drip irrigation or digging into the soil.
Dosage: 2.0 - 6.0 kg/ha
IMPORTANT!
The drug can be used with biological preparations, insecticides, growth stimulants and fertilizers.
It is NOT ALLOWED to be used simultaneously with chemical fungicides and fumigants.
