It is no coincidence that biological pesticides are popular among gardeners. Such products do not harm the soil, pollinating insects, animals and humans. The preparations are not phytotoxic and do not accumulate in plant tissues and their fruits. “Bitoxibacillin” is part of the group of biological insecticides; its effect is due to the presence of spores and waste products of the bacteria Bacillus thuringiensis var. Thuringiensis.
Features of biological pesticide
"Bitoxibacillin" has a completely natural composition. The biological insecticide has an intestinal effect. It enters the intestines of insects along with food.
After just a few hours, the pests are no longer able to feed, which means they will no longer be able to damage plants. A little later, the death of insects occurs. The full effect of the drug appears 3-5 days after spraying. Already 5 days after treatment, you can harvest from the treated plants and eat the fruits.
"Bitoxibacillin" is good because it is not addictive and can completely replace chemical insecticides. The biological product also has an acaricidal and repellent effect, that is, it destroys ticks and repels butterflies, preventing them from laying eggs. The product is available in the form of a gray powder. Manufacturers package it in bags weighing 20, 40 and 100 grams.
Application in the garden
"Bitoxibacillin" is used in the garden to protect various crops from leaf-eating and sucking pests. Treatments with the drug are carried out at the beginning of the season, until the number of insects reaches a critical value. The product is suitable for processing:
- apple trees;
- pears;
- quinces;
- grapes;
- gooseberries;
- currants
Fruit trees are treated three times at weekly intervals. During flowering, the garden is not cultivated. The product is applied to the leaves on both sides. The solution is prepared from 40-50 g of the drug per bucket of water. From 2 to 5 liters of solution are used for each tree.
In the same dosage, “Bitoxibacillin” is used to treat flower and ornamental shrubs against ticks. To get rid of pests, just one treatment is enough.
To protect grapes, gooseberries and currants, use a higher concentration of the drug (60-80 g per 10 liters of water). The biological pesticide protects these crops from cicadas, mites, thrips, leaf rollers, moths, sawflies, and moths. Spray the bushes 2 times at intervals of a week. The same scheme is used for processing medicinal plants.
Use in the garden
The biological preparation also helps out in the garden. "Bitoxibacillin" is used to protect against the Colorado potato beetle:
- eggplant,
- potatoes,
- tomatoes;
- peppers
If larvae are noticed on the plants, carry out 3 treatments every 7 days. For 1 hectare, 0.5-1 liters of working solution are consumed, prepared from 40-50 g of the drug per 10 liters of water.
For cabbage and cucumbers, the product is used in the same concentration.The white cabbage vegetable “Bitoxibacillin” protects against cabbage cutworm and white moth, and cucumbers protect against spider mites. The cabbage bed is treated 2 times at weekly intervals. For cucumbers, 6 treatments with an interval of 10 days will be required.
Rules of application, compatibility
In order for the bacteria in the drug to begin to act actively, it must be used at a temperature of 18 to 30 degrees. In cool weather, the effect of using a pesticide is reduced. At the beginning of the season, you can use “Bitoxibacillin” as part of tank mixtures together with chemicals and other biological preparations. Despite the low hazard class of the bioinsecticide, the preparation of the solution and spraying should be done using protective equipment (closed clothing, rubber gloves). "Bitoxibacillin" is prohibited from being used in the water protection zone.
Among the advantages of a biological pesticide are its effectiveness, safety, wide spectrum of action, and the ability to be used in any phase of the growing season. "Bitoxibacillin" is suitable for organic farming, as it does not contain chemical components.
