Against which pests does 'Aktara' help? The insecticide is lethal against sucking and leaf-eating pests: whiteflies, pea aphids, harmful stink bugs, scale insects, grain beetles, Colorado potato beetles, and others. After penetrating the insect's body, the product acts on nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the nervous system, causing cessation of feeding.

When using the insecticide 'Aktara', plant treatment is carried out in two ways:

• foliar spraying;
• application under the root together with irrigation water.

The working solution must be used on the day of preparation.

• Long-lasting protective effect - at least 14 days.
• Effect on a wide range of pests, including hidden ones.
• Systemic action when applied to the soil.
• Quick inhibition of insect feeding.
• Preservation of plant foliage.

The effect will be noticeable within a few hours after treatment.

Experience fighting different pests

Spider mites

Recently, we bought a fuchsia pot at the market, and brought home the spider mite with it. The bugs moved to other indoor plants, so urgent measures had to be taken. The insecticide 'Aktara' from spider mites helped. I prepared the solution according to the instructions on the package, the product dissolved well in water. I treated the affected leaves and added a little under the root. I worked in gloves. The next day, the mites were not noticed.

Mealybug

On our dacha, three orchids were growing. Recently, I noticed that some pest had taken up residence. The leaves, roots, and stems were covered with a white coating. My neighbor helped identify the parasite. She also advised using the preparation 'Aktara' from mealybugs. I diluted one ampoule in a 5 L plastic bucket. The insecticide has a strong odor, so during work I had to open the windows. I submerged each orchid in the solution and wiped the leaves with a cloth, then changed the soil. After 10 days, I repeated the treatment. Successfully eliminated the mealybug.

Whitefly

Whiteflies were found on tomatoes planted in open ground. To avoid losing the harvest, we urgently sought a good remedy. We were advised to use the insecticide 'Aktara' from whiteflies. I prepared granules in water according to the manufacturer's instructions, then treated the tomato leaves and poured the solution into the soil. One procedure was sufficient to completely eliminate the whiteflies.

Scale insects

Last summer, I took flowerpots outdoors, and soon noticed that scale insects had taken up residence. I urgently began searching for a remedy that kills parasites after the first application. I used the preparation "Aktara" from scale insects and was satisfied with the results. I prepared the solution and thoroughly wetted the leaves and branches of the plants. The insects disappeared, but for prevention, I periodically spray the flowerpots with 'Aktara' solution.
