Insectoacaricide Preparation 30 B

Mechanism of Action: Oil Occlusion

"Preparat 30 V" by "Agropromnika" is a professional contact-action insecto-acaricide based on high-purity mineral oils. Unlike neurotoxic pesticides that affect the insect’s nervous system, this product creates a microscopic oil film on the plant surface and the pest itself.

Practically, this means blocking the spiracles (tracheae) of insects and mites. Deprived of oxygen, the pest dies from asphyxiation within minutes. This physical-chemical approach eliminates the risk of pest resistance, making it a highly reliable tool for integrated plant protection programs.

Technical Specifications and Application

• Active Ingredient: Mineral oils and petroleum derivatives, which provide a prolonged effect and excellent adhesion to bark and leaf surfaces.
• Formulation: Emulsion concentrate that forms a stable, fine-dispersed emulsion when mixed with water, ensuring even coverage.
• Target Pests: Highly effective against overwintering stages of pests, including scale insects, false scale insects, aphids, psyllids, whiteflies, and mites.
• Safety: Classified as hazard class 4, offering a lower environmental impact compared to organophosphate compounds.

Practical Guidance

Preparat 30 V is ideal for early spring treatment of fruit crops such as apple, pear, apricot, cherry, and plum trees, as well as berry bushes like currants and gooseberries. Its primary function is a "garden cleanup" before the start of active sap flow or during the "green cone" phase. Proper application is crucial: the oil film must completely cover the pest colonies hiding in bark crevices and under bud scales. The product is also highly effective for treating ornamental crops affected by scale or whiteflies.
