In search of a reliable, economically beneficial, powerful and relatively safe means to protect plants from agricultural pests they can spend a lot of time. It is important to choose such a tool that would be approved for use on a large number of cultivated crops with the maximum spectrum of action. The Syngenta company developed the product Aktellik. This universal organophosphorus insect acaricide will not only deal with pests on cultivated plants during the growing season, but will save grain stocks and clean the premises from phytogens.
The main advantages of Aktellik
The product has an unusually powerful effect against pests. Guaranteed result of use
fungicide provides reliable protection of many types of cultural plants. In addition, Aktellik acts quickly and does not require a long waiting period for harvesting. Virtually absolute control of pests is provided by one drug. Among other qualities, the insecticide has a high fumigation effect, which allows you to control pests even in the most inaccessible places. And inherent acaricidal properties effectively prevent the spread of ticks. With such a list of qualities, Aktellik is one of the safest products from organophosphorus pesticides for humans. The insecticide spreads across plants translaminarly, which contributes to the destruction of even such phytogens that live and feed on the lower part of the leaf plate. Actellik, thanks to its third class of toxicity, does not have a negative effect on the quality of future seeds of the plant, which is subject to fumigation.
Mechanism and spectrum of action
The active ingredient of the product is pirimiphos-methyl, which is a highly effective organophosphorus pesticide. The action of the product is based on the destabilization of the function of such an important hydrolytic enzyme as acetylcholinesterase. Consequently, the mechanism of acetylcholine metabolism is disturbed. The accumulation of pyrifos-methyl in the tissues of the central nervous system leads to malfunctions in the work of various organs, which further contributes to the defeat of the entire organism of the insect. Actellik is able to enter the organism of the pest through contact - through drops of the solution during contact, through the intestine - thanks to the absorption of the drug by the plant after its use in food. In addition, the fumigation effect already described above is present - the effect on the insect through the respiratory system, and to a certain extent the systemic and deep (translaminar) effect. Thus, pest control is carried out by all possible options. Aktellik insecticide easily copes with thrips, aphids, the harmful turtle bug, weevil, centipede, carrion, fleas, cherry fly, fruit fly, Colorado potato beetle, whitefly, mites, meadow moth, scoops, mushroom mosquitoes, leafhoppers, corn stalk moth, mining flies and other phytogens. The drug is also effective against the main pests of stocks, including beetles (long-nosed, grain beetles), fireflies and moths.

Recommendations for use
Aktellik for saving stocks
To effectively ensure
сохранности норовых stocks, insecticide treatment is carried out not only of the product itself, but also of the premises where it is planned to be stored and neighboring territories. The multiplicity of all types of spraying is no more than once. For this purpose, walls, ceilings, and floors are treated in empty warehouses.
In the case of processing the ingredients using a knapsack
sprayer the dose of the drug is 0.5 ml/m². The amount of water depends on the coating material. So, for metal surfaces it is 30 ml/m², wooden or cement surfaces – 50 ml/m², bare brick – 150 ml/m², plastered walls – 70 ml/m². When choosing the option of processing with an aerosol generator, both hot and cold fog, the dosage of Actellik is 0.04 ml/m3. At the same time, the consumption of the carrier is 100 ml per 100 m³ of the room (usually kerosene or paraffin oil is used).
The wet treatment method is used for spraying the surrounding area. Use 0.8 ml/m² of insecticide in the amount of up to 400 ml per 1 m² of the total volume of the working solution. If it is necessary to process the grain itself (both seed, feed and food), Aktellik normally consumes 16 ml per 1 ton of material. The volume of the working fluid is 0.5-2 l/t. Stocks are sprayed with a layer not exceeding 0.4 m, at the established level of humidity. The optimal temperature range for treating grain with an insecticide is +6 °C to +20 °C.
After spraying the premises, the admission of people to them or delivery of material is possible after thorough ventilation, no earlier than 2 days. The sale of grain for fodder purposes is allowed with residues of the active substance not exceeding the maximum permissible level. Likewise for food purposes. If the product will be used for baby food, it is necessary to ensure the complete absence of pirimiphos-methyl.
