Mechanism of action of the drug
When treating cultivated plants with the insecticide Bi 58, the chemical solution directly hits the pests and quickly penetrates the soft tissues of insects (larvae) and their chitinous cover. Dimethoate acts neuroparalytically at the cellular level, causing the death of parasites.
The working solution of the pesticide, prepared according to the instructions, is absorbed by plants during processing and remains in their cell sap for about 25 days. Pests, devouring green plant matter, receive a lethal dose of toxin. This expresses the systemic effect of the drug. Precipitation does not affect its effectiveness.

Instructions for use
When preparing to treat plants, you must carefully study the instructions for use of the drug Bi 58. The most important condition is to prepare the solution correctly. To do this, take 5 liters of water into a bucket, shake the ampoule with the insecticide well and open it. The instructions for use recommend diluting Bi 58 at the rate of 1 ml per 1 liter of water.
When using Bi 58, you should first read its instructions for use.
It is better to clarify the exact dosage for each crop in the instructions for use of the product:
- To treat grains, you will need 1 kg of concentrated preparation per 1 hectare of crops.
- For legumes and vegetable crops, the amount varies from 600 to 1200 g per hectare.
- Fruit trees and berry bushes require 1600-2500 g per hectare of plantings.
Treating plants with an insecticide has subtleties that can significantly affect its effectiveness. To achieve maximum results, experts recommend adhering to the following rules:
- The solution that was prepared for spraying is used immediately; it is not recommended to store it.
A solution made on the basis of Bi 58 is recommended to be used immediately after its preparation. - To prepare the insecticide, use only clean water without sand or clay. Excessively hard water can reduce the effectiveness of the drug.
- The best time for treatment is during the active growing season. This is when parasites cause maximum damage to plants.
- It is strictly forbidden to process plantings during flowering.
- Do not cultivate crops in open ground immediately after the end of frost. The best temperature for spraying is from +12° to 35°C. At a lower temperature, the effectiveness of the drug may decrease several times.
The drug Bi 58 partially loses its effectiveness at temperatures below +12 degrees - Some crops require repeated spraying to completely kill pests.
- Ornamental plants should be handled very carefully - there is a high risk of leaf burns.
- During dissolution of the concentrate and when spraying, it is recommended to periodically stir the working solution.
If the technology is violated and the concentration of the working solution is exceeded, serious harm can be caused to the plants - they begin to lose leaves and wither. Instructions for use of the drug Bi 58 New must be followed exactly.

- Consumption rates can be selected and varied.
True, the BI-58 product has some disadvantages. Among them it is worth highlighting the following:
- The presence of a pungent, strong odor.

In order not to harm green spaces, it is important to know the correct consumption of BI-58, the exact dosage for each crop, and be able to dilute the product. You need to be extremely careful with insecticides
For each type of plant, the consumption rate of BI-58 will be different. For example, for grains, 1-1.5 kilograms of concentrate per hectare are used. As for legumes, root vegetables and cruciferous vegetables, the norms are slightly lower - from 0.6 to 1.2 kilograms. Fruit crops are treated at the rate of 1.6-2.5 kilograms of product per hectare. If necessary, the amount of liquid should be increased proportionally.

For protection, you should use 0.8-2.0 liters of solution per hectare of area. Treatments are carried out before and after the flowering phase. For plums, the norm is 1.2-2.0 liters. The insecticide kills mites, dust bugs and aphids. Vegetable crops are often affected by mites, aphids, bugs and thrips. To get rid of these parasites, it is recommended to spray the solution during the growing season at a rate of 0.5-1.0 liters per hectare.
Analogs
If for some reason the selected plant protection product against pests is not available, you can use a product with a similar effect. Insecticide Bi 58 has analogues in which the active substance is also dimethoad:
- Rogor. The drug is available in the form of a concentrated solution in 10 liter canisters. The dimethoate content in Rogor is 400 ml per 1 liter of the drug. When the product comes into contact with a pest, there is an immediate paralytic effect. The death of the insect occurs within 3 hours. The drug has a prolonged effect - protection of treated crops lasts up to 20 days.

The insectoacaricide is used to destroy many insect pests on plantations of wheat, barley, sugar beets, vineyards, apple trees, peas and other crops.
- Dimethrin is an organophosphate insecticide in the form of a concentrated emulsion. 1 liter of the drug contains 400 ml of dimethoad, a neuroparalytic substance that paralyzes pests on agricultural crops with their subsequent destruction. It is toxic to humans, therefore it requires preparation of the working solution strictly according to the instructions and compliance with safety precautions during use.
