Grisli

A Reliable Barrier Against Soil Pests

«Grizzly» (Grizli), produced by ZAO Firm August (Vurnary, Russia), is a classic solution for controlling soil-dwelling pests that often go unnoticed until harvest damage becomes irreversible. The formulation is based on diazinon, an organophosphate compound that has remained the industry standard for decades in combating wireworms and mole crickets due to its potent contact-intestinal action.

Application Specifics and Target Pests

This insecticide is formulated as granules, making it practical for soil incorporation during potato planting or cabbage transplanting. The primary advantage of the granular form is its prolonged residual effect. Unlike liquid sprays, «Grizzly» remains active within the soil layer where pest colonies concentrate.

• Wireworms: The primary threat to root crops, causing significant mechanical damage to potatoes and onions.
• Mole Crickets: Pests capable of destroying young seedlings within days.
• Garden Ants: Frequently damage the appearance of flower beds and disturb the root systems of ornamental plants.

The recommended application frequency is just once per season, highlighting the high concentration of the active ingredient and its ability to maintain pest control in the root zone over a long period.

Safety and Agronomic Approach

The product falls under the 3rd hazard class. It is essential to follow standard agricultural safety protocols during application. It is important to note that «Grizzly» is designed specifically as a soil insecticide; it is not intended for foliage spraying but should be applied directly into planting holes or incorporated into the soil surrounding the plants. This method minimizes drift and ensures targeted impact on pests, maintaining high efficacy even in moist soil conditions.

Choosing «Grizzly» by Firm August means relying on a long-proven protection technology that secures vegetable crops during the critical early development stages when root systems are most vulnerable to subterranean threats.
