How the drug works

The active substance of Tanrek belongs to the class of neonicotinoids. This is a small group of organic compounds that are highly toxic to insects and less toxic to humans and warm-blooded animals.

In the Russian Federation, registration of compounds was carried out in 1999, that is, it can be noted that the substances are new, but have already shown their effectiveness. The monoinsecticide Tanrek is based on imidacloprid, which blocks the nervous system of pests. Tissue fibers stop responding to impulses, insects lose motor activity for a short time, and convulsions are observed. Further, the feeding process is disrupted, as a result of which the pests die.

On a note! The insecticide is destructive to both adults (adults) and larvae.

The substance has high translaminar activity and is quickly absorbed into all parts of the plant. After treating the plantings, they become dangerous for any insects, which is why it is necessary to strictly follow the recommendations for use and observe the dosages and timing of treatments.

Biological products

Aphids can be destroyed using biological preparations. Their use will reduce the risk of negative consequences for plants.

"Iskra bio"

This drug does not contain components harmful to humans. Therefore, plants can be treated with it even 2 days before harvest. In addition to safety, Iskra Bio is efficient and economical. One 10 ml bottle is enough to spray an area of ​​50–100 m2.

"Fitoverm"

This aphid remedy is based on a substance obtained from the metaplasm of fungi. As soon as it enters the digestive system, the pest begins to lose the ability to move. This causes the aphid to starve and die from exhaustion after 72 hours.

Fitoverm dosages depend on the number of pests in the garden and the type of plant. However, in most cases, use 3-4 ml of product per 5 liters of water. The prepared solution is sprayed onto garden crops and the area around them.

"Trichopolus"

The basis of this plant medicine is metronidazole. Gelatin, starch and magnesium stearate are used as additional components. The drug is produced in the form of tablets.

"Aktofit"

This harmless biological product can be used for several seasons. It is not addictive to pests and has a long shelf life.

“Actofit” is sprayed on plants affected by aphids during the growing season. To prepare a poisonous emulsion, mix the required amount of the substance with water (¼ of the total volume). The product is infused for 5 minutes and diluted with the remaining liquid.

"Jaguar"

It has a rapid contact-intestinal effect and quickly destroys all pests. The product is used to protect fruit trees, shrubs and vegetable crops. Before use, 3 g of powder is dissolved in 5 liters of water. This amount of finished poison is enough to treat 100 m2.

"Fufanon"

This biological product has a systemic effect. Once the garden is sprayed, it becomes part of the insect's food chain and quickly kills it. "Fufanon" is used in the same way as "Trichopol". In this case, you need to be as careful as possible, since in excessive dosages the product harms the plant.

"Arrow"

“Strela” is a super powder that leaves no chance for aphids to survive. Its active ingredient is bitoxybacillin, which is often used in the manufacture of various pesticides.

The product is used to treat various garden crops. To do this, 50 g of powder is dissolved in 10 liters of water. The resulting mixture is sprayed not only on affected but also healthy plants.

"Bitoxibacillin"

This is the safest biological product with an intestinal effect. It is made from metabolic products of bacteria, which are absolutely harmless to humans, but poisonous to insects.

"Akarin"

This modern drug is designed to destroy aphids and prevent their reappearance. It quickly penetrates the insect's body and blocks its ability to absorb nutrients from plants. Because of this, the pest dies within a few hours.

The amount of Akarin used depends on the type of plant and ranges from 2 to 10 ml.

Methods of application

To protect your garden from aphid invasion, you can use various folk recipes that include garlic. Spraying can be carried out in early spring and late autumn, thereby preventing the reappearance of parasites.

In its purest form

It is effective to plant this crop around the perimeter of the entire site.

Garlic arrows

Garlic arrows are inflorescences. They must be cut off, as they reduce the quality of the crop. The torn arrows can be hung on a tree, shrub or cultivated plants. The aroma they emit prevents aphids from settling on these plants.

cloves

Peeled garlic cloves can be spread on beds where mites are growing. Their phytoncides will drive away pests, preserving the harvest. You should periodically add fresh portions of the vegetable so that the aroma does not lose its strength.

Solution

Crops can be treated by spraying their vegetative mass with garlic solution. A “medicine” of different concentrations is suitable, calculated according to the degree of damage to the shoots.

Pounded

Garlic cloves can be ground into a paste and spread around the affected plants. The active esters of the vegetable will irritate the sense of smell of insects. As a result, the parasites will leave the plant treatment areas. The procedure should be carried out several times during the season.

Soap solution

To prepare such a concentrate, dissolve 0.5 liters in two liters of warm water. pre-peeled and chopped garlic cloves. The resulting mass is removed for a day in a warm, dark place to infuse. After the required time, a piece of laundry soap grated through a grater is added to the concentrate. After the soap slivers are completely dissolved, everything is filtered and the resulting liquid is sprayed on the affected plants.

Infusion

To do this, garlic minced in a meat grinder is poured with the same volume of cooled boiling water, and then placed in a warm, dark room to infuse. This product should last for at least a week. The finished infusion is used for spraying at the rate of dissolving 50 ml of the prepared medicine in a 10-liter bucket.

Soap-oil concentrate

The product is prepared as follows: water at room temperature (0.5 l.), liquid soap (5 ml.), vegetable oil (10 ml.) and crushed garlic cloves (5 pcs.) are mixed together. Everyone insists for 5 days, followed by straining. The resulting solution is poured into a spray bottle and sprayed onto the affected plants.

Blend with tobacco and onion

50 g of chopped onion peels are poured with 2.5 liters of water. Tobacco dust (50g) is added to the resulting mass and boiled for about 2 hours. The resulting product is infused for 1 hour, to which then crushed garlic pulp (50g) is added. After dilution of 5 l. ready-made liquids are used to irrigate sick plants.

On garlic peel

At 10l. Garlic peels (200g) placed there are infused in warm water for 2 days. Then everything is filtered and the resulting mixture is irrigated on the diseased plants.

The drug Tanrek: reviews of use

Elena, 45 years old, Moscow region: I have been treating tomatoes and cucumbers in my greenhouse with Tanrek for several seasons, dealing with whiteflies and aphids. In this case, one spraying is enough for these “harmful” insects to die. This drug was recommended to me by a neighbor at my summer cottage, who treats not only vegetable crops with this insecticide, but also fruit trees and berry bushes.

Natalya, 50 years old, Saratov region: I usually use the Tanrek insecticide to treat garden crops as a last resort - when the number of pests is too large. But I can say that despite the number of parasites, this drug kills them all at the same time. The first signs of poisoning in pests appear within 3-4 hours, and they die within about a day.

Nikolay, 38 years old, Volgograd region: My wife and I have a huge garden plot where we grow potatoes for sale. The most difficult period is when the Colorado potato beetle attacks our potatoes. On such a plantation it is impossible to collect it by hand. We tried different products, but Tanrek turned out to be the best - in one treatment this insecticide destroys adult Colorado potato beetles and their larvae. It’s easy to dilute the product and spray it – we usually manage to treat the area in one day, taking a break during hot weather.

The insecticide Tanrek is one of the best drugs in the fight against many pests in the garden and vegetable garden, especially the Colorado potato beetle, aphids and whiteflies.

It effectively copes not only with adults, but also with their larvae, and the plant protection period of Tanrek is at least 2 weeks.

What harm can an insect cause to an apple tree?

Understanding what type they belong to will help you choose the right weapon for pest control. The main types of garden aphids:

1. The red gall aphid got its name because of a feature: the habitat of this species causes swelling on the leaves of the plant - galls. The insect is brown in color and reaches about 2 mm in length.
2. Gray aphids attack mature trees. The hemispherical body of the pest is painted dark gray, and the head, tail, mustache and paws are black. The vital activity of aphids occurs on the back side of the leaves, which curls them down in the form of wrinkled burgundy rollers.
3. Green aphids are fertile and can produce 12 generations per season in favorable climatic conditions, and in cold regions - half as much, which is also quite a lot. The pest in adulthood reaches no more than 2 mm in length and has a bright green color.

Harmfulness of insects:

• trees slow down;
• fruit buds appear and ripen late;
• tree fruits become small and often fall off;
• weakened shoots are less prepared for winter conditions;
• trees are prone to the appearance of other pests: ants, tree beetles;
• the vulnerability of plants, especially young ones, to fungi and infectious agents appears;
• dust settles on the leaves due to honeydew produced by aphids.
