Mechanism of action
Imidacloprid blocks postsynaptic nicotinyl receptors in insects and interrupts the physiological innervation of nerves, which leads to damage to the nervous system and the death of the insect.
Lambda-cyhalothrin affects certain areas of postsynaptic receptors in insects and disrupts the normal functioning of the nervous system, which leads to the death of the insect.
Period of protective action of the drug
is from 14 to 21 days.
Recommendations for use
The drug is applied both by ground and aerial spraying with a consumption rate of 0.06 - 0.2 l/ha, depending on the harmful object to be treated.

The drug has a high initial toxicity: its effect is noticeable in a fairly short period of time after application, however, rain earlier than 4 hours after treatment can significantly reduce its effectiveness due to the washing away of the solution from plant organs.
