Teppeki insecticide: instructions for use to protect plants from pests

Teppeki insecticide is one of the most effective means for combating harmful insects. Insecticides are special chemicals that destroy not only pests, but also their larvae. Even if you are a very attentive and conscientious gardener who follows all the rules for caring for plants, you are still not immune from the appearance of pests. Their colonies reproduce very quickly. If you do not treat the plants with an insecticide in time, you will not have to wait for the harvest.

Description

Teppeki was developed by Belgian scientists. Its manufacturer is the well-known company ISK Biosciences Europe N.V. It is registered in many countries around the world. The popularity of the Teppeki insecticide is due to the speed of achieving the effect and the wide range of effects.

It destroys all types of aphids and other sucking insects. In addition, it affects pests that are not on the plant and controls their number outside the area of ​​action. At the same time, Teppeki is absolutely safe for the plant itself.

In our country, it has undergone all the necessary studies. It is widely used in agriculture. The Teppeki insecticide is recommended for use by Rosselkhoznadzor.

Purpose

The use of Teppeki is recommended for the destruction of pests of the order Homoptera, as well as for controlling the number of other pests .

Composition of the Teppeki insecticide

The Teppeki insecticide has a high concentration. It is not used in its pure form. Its main substance is flonicamid, which is responsible for the anti-feeding effect. 1 kg of Teppeki insecticide contains 500 g of flonicamid.

To treat plants, use a solution prepared independently, according to the instructions.

Release forms

The Teppeki insecticide is available in the form of water-dispersible granules. It is packaged in plastic containers of various weights at retail outlets. It can be dispensed for single use.

Mechanism of action

The mechanism of action of the Teppeki insecticide is contact-systemic, within half an hour after spraying, the active substance - flonicamid is actively absorbed by plant cells. Parasitic insects use plant juice for nutrition, which after spraying contains flonicamid, together with food they receive a lethal dose of the drug. Their nervous system is destroyed.They stop destroying the plant, although they continue to be on it. And over the next five days they die, unable to eat.

Hazard Class

According to the chemical hazard scale, Teppeki insecticide is assigned class 3. This group includes substances with a medium level of danger. To carry out treatment of plants, the skin, eyes and respiratory organs should be protected. If this requirement is not met, mild toxic poisoning may result. It is not recommended to spray plants in a confined space.

This product is equally dangerous for domestic animals and bees.

From an environmental point of view, the concentrated insecticide Teppeki is dangerous. The aqueous solution prepared for spraying the plant does not pose a threat.

On what crops is it used?

The chemical is equally effective when used on various crops:

• vegetables - potatoes, all varieties of cabbage, tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, eggplants, zucchini, squash, onions, garlic, beets, carrots, green peas and beans;
• fruits and berries - apple, pear, all types of plums, cherries, sweet cherries, apricots, peach, cherry plum, grapes, strawberries, raspberries, wild strawberries, currants, blackberries, honeysuckle and gooseberries;

Instructions for use

To avoid mistakes when using Teppeki insecticide, as well as to obtain the desired result, you must follow all points of the instructions that come with the drug. If you violate the rules of dosage, frequency of spraying or inappropriate use, you may not get the long-awaited harvest, and even worse, you may be left without a plant.

How to divorce

To use Teppeki insecticide, it is necessary to prepare a working solution. To get the desired effect, it is very important to do this according to the instructions and follow the consumption rates of the product.

The spray solution must be prepared on the day of use and used immediately.

The required amount of granules (their weight is important) of the Teppeki insecticide is dissolved in a small amount of water. The granules do not dissolve well, so the solution must be shaken or constantly stirred until completely dissolved.

After the granules have completely dissolved, the solution is adjusted to the required amount by diluting with water.

It is necessary to prepare the working fluid in an open room, or better yet, in the fresh air.

Consumption rate

The consumption rate of Teppeki insecticide granules per amount of water varies depending on the plant crop.

1 g of the drug is used as the basis for calculations. This is the amount that destroys 100% of all pests. The following dosage is used for different crops:

Culture	Consumption rate of the drug / required volume of water	Working fluid flow
Potato	1 g/1.5-3 l	200-500 l/ha
Apple, pear, peach	1 g/5-7 l	500 l/ha
Winter wheat, rye	1 g/1.5-4 l	200-500 l/ha
Flower crops	1 g/4-8 l	200-400 l/ha
Berry bushes	1 g/5-8 l	200 l/ha
Melons	1 g/4-6 l	200-300 l/ha
Vegetables	1 g/5-7 l	300-400 g/ha

Consumption rates depend on the area being sprayed and how the sprayer is configured.

Processing times

Teppeki insecticide begins to be used with the first warming, when parasite larvae appear. Plants must be treated during the growing season. The exception is vegetable beds and berry bushes. They need to be sprayed at the initial stage of the growing season. But no more than three times a season. Repeated treatment should be done no earlier than 7-10 days.

The use of Teppeki insecticide during flowering and fruiting is permitted. For fruit and vegetable crops, spraying is carried out in early spring, before the first leaves appear, and a second time is applied immediately after flowering has ended.

The last spraying should be no later than 21 days before the start of harvesting so that the active substance is neutralized.

It is best to apply Teppeki insecticide in the evening, after watering has ended, or in the early morning. In addition, the weather on the day of treatment should be dry and windless.

Validity

The effect of the product on the plant lasts for 14-30 days. If you sprayed it during the period of fruit ripening, then you can eat them after 55 days.

Insect treatment rules

Various pests parasitize garden and flower crops. For each type of insect, a special use of Teppeki insecticide has been developed. This is due to the required concentration of the main substance of the insecticide to destroy a certain type of pest.

From whitefly

The whitefly is a very secretive insect, which attacks indoor, garden and greenhouse plants. You can detect it without a special device - you can’t hide its white wings. But it is located at the bottom of the leaf plate, so it is not always possible to quickly determine its presence. If the leaves of a plant begin to dry out and fall off, it means it has been attacked by a pest. Flower buds become deformed. In addition to destruction, this parasite is a carrier of diseases such as curl, jaundice and chlorosis. Among flower crops, he prefers fuchsia, balsam, begonia, and geranium. In the greenhouse it attacks cucumbers, tomatoes and bell peppers, and does not hesitate to feast on zucchini and eggplant.

To combat whiteflies, you need to prepare a solution consisting of 1 g of Teppeki insecticide and 7 liters of water. The amount of water depends on the plant crop. One spraying is quite enough to completely destroy the pest. However, if re-treatment is required, it must be carried out only after a week.

From thrips

Thrips are small winged insects, slightly more than 2 mm in size. Their larvae appear in stumps, under the bark of trees, in lichens and moss.On the plant, they feel great in flowers, buds and on leaves. They are resistant to cold climates. In an apartment or greenhouse, they actively reproduce all year round. They feed on plant juice, as well as pollen and nectar.

The higher the temperature, the faster the pest eggs mature. The main indicator of the presence of thrips is the appearance of dark spots on the trunk and leaves of the plant. And also the drying of flower buds for no apparent reason.

To get rid of these insects, you should prepare a solution with a dosage of 0.5 g of Teppeki insecticide per 1 liter of water. The affected plant must be treated three times every 7 days. It is important to take into account the period of plant vegetation and fruiting.

From mealybugs

The insect is closely related to the scale insect. It is an unarmored scaly representative of pests. A warm and humid environment is favorable for their habitation. It tolerates temperature changes perfectly. As a rule, it affects seedlings on the windowsill and home ornamental plants. Its attack provokes further death of the affected areas of the plant. It reproduces quickly at warm temperatures. It feeds on plant sap.

The first sign of the presence of this parasite is yellowed and fallen leaves. If the watering conditions were met, then this behavior directly indicates the presence of a mealybug.

To destroy it, it is necessary to treat all the plants present in one area, if this is not done and you concentrate only on the affected plant, then the pest will appear again on untreated crops.

To completely exterminate the mealybug, it is necessary to use several preparations.Processing takes place in a comprehensive manner. The plant is not sprayed with product solutions, but the soil is watered. In this case, the dosage of the drug increases 5 times.

The plant should be processed according to this scheme:

• The first time it is necessary to water the soil with Confidor solution. To do this, 1 g of the product is diluted in 1 liter of water. Used together with a solution of the drug "Apluad", which is obtained by diluting 0.5 g of the product per 1 liter of water. Both solutions must be prepared separately from each other. Liquids already prepared for irrigation should be mixed;
• The second time the soil is treated with the Teppeki insecticide. To prepare the solution, use the following dosage - 1 g per 1 liter of water. It is necessary to water the plant a week after the first treatment;
• 21 days after the second watering, the plant should be watered again with the prepared solution of the drug “Confidor” or “Aktar”. Dosage of the product is 1 g per 1 liter of water.

If you have other insecticides available, then an important point for using them should be a different active ingredient.

From spider mites

This is a pest from the order of arachnids, approximately the size of a flea. It feeds on plant sap. Lives on the inside of leaves, forming a thin web there. Willingly feeds on indoor plants, grapes, and settles on cucumbers and tomatoes. Does not disdain berry bushes and fruit trees. The main reason for its appearance is considered to be dry climate and high air temperature. This is the most comfortable environment for its reproduction.

The result of its parasitic work is the death of the plant.

The first sign of a pest is a change in leaf color. They become marbled. Their tips dry out, then the leaf turns completely yellow and falls off.Mites can be identified by the presence of small red dots on the leaves and trunk of the plant.

To destroy it, you need to prepare a solution of 1 g of Teppeka and 1 liter of water. The plant must be sprayed three times, at intervals of 21 days.

From aphids

Aphids are small parasites that feed on plant sap. For its reproduction, a dry and warm climate is required. If the warm season is rich in rain, then there will be almost no rain. The first sign of the presence of a pest is curled leaves, swellings on the leaves of a burgundy or yellow hue.

To get rid of this pest, you should prepare a solution of 2 g of Teppeki insecticide per 10 liters of water. Treat the affected plants with this liquid. In total, you need to do 2-3 treatments with an interval of 7 days.

From scale insects

A small insect of the order Hemiptera. Her body is made up of armor that protects her from chemicals. Scale insects happily settle on indoor plants and garden crops. It feeds on the sap of the plant. The first sign of its presence is the blackened and fallen lower leaves of the plant. It can also be recognized by the presence of brown tubercles on the inside of the leaves and the trunk.

To destroy it, it is necessary to prepare a solution of Teppeki insecticide with a dosage of 1 g per 8 liters. This solution must be sprayed on plants. To water the soil, 1 g of the product is diluted with 4 liters of water.

Only with double exposure to the insecticide can you get rid of the scale insect.
