  • Economical consumption.
  • Does not scare away or poison predatory insects that prey on pests.
  • Stimulates the growth of plant roots.
  • It increases the quality of the treated seeds and, as a result, the percentage of seed germination increases significantly.
  • It is a potent agent, therefore it does not require a large number of sprays.
  • Works for a long time.
  • It goes well with other products for the garden and vegetable garden, for example, organic and mineral fertilizers.
  • Does not penetrate the fruit, so the harvest from treated plants will be safe and healthy.

Aktara insecticide

Important! The main active ingredient of the Aktar insecticide - thiamethox - quickly decomposes in the soil, easily dissolves in water and is quickly absorbed into the tissues of the plant itself. This increases its effectiveness, helps to quickly and completely get rid of all types of pests.

The drug begins to act on average 25-30 minutes after spraying. It is quickly absorbed into the soil and tissue of the tree, which allows it to destroy insects not only outside, but also inside the plant. The main component - thiamethox - penetrates into the digestive system of insects and has a paralytic effect on it. As a result, they can no longer eat or drink and soon die.

Spraying fruit trees

The product does not cause addiction to pests, therefore it can be used several times in a row without compromising quality. The duration of the product depends on the applied processing method. After spraying, insect protection is valid for three weeks, but when watering the plant, it will work for up to 60 days.

Aktara is available in two versions:

  • Liquid concentrated suspension.
  • Granules that must first be dissolved in water.

Small 4 gram packs are designed for easy handling of plants at home and in garden areas.

Instructions for use: Aktara for processing fruit trees

Fruit trees and shrubs compatibility

The drug is soluble in water. After that, the resulting liquid can be used for spraying, watering or soaking the seeds in it.

Important! Do not delay using the drug. Treatment should be carried out immediately at the first sign of pests.

The solution must be poured (or poured) into a large container of water. Cooking, as well as spraying (or watering) the plants with the product, is carried out in the open air, in dry weather without wind. The sprayer is not completely filled with the product, but 25% of the total volume.

The sprayer is 25% full

The contents of one sachet must be dissolved:

  • For grapes, strawberries and bushes with berries in a quarter liter of water.
  • For indoor plants, 0.6 liters of water.
  • For soaking tubers (potatoes, onions and garlic) in 0.3 liters of water.

From the moment of treatment to the complete "exit" of the drug from the soil, fruits and the plant itself, at least 60 days should pass. After this period, it will be safe to eat the plant and its fruits.

After 50-60 minutes after watering, the drug is completely absorbed into the plant tissue. The already diluted mixture cannot be stored, therefore processing should be carried out immediately after preparation of the solution. The most favorable period for the use of an insecticidal agent is the moment of "attack" of insects, the moment of their mass appearance.

The insecticide does an excellent job of protecting both garden plantings (potatoes, tomatoes, eggplants, and others), and indoor plants - to exterminate aphids, scale insects and others.
