Mechanism of action
The work of the insecticide begins as soon as it enters the stomach of an insect with "food" or enters its body through the cuticle upon contact. Next, the ryanidin receptor genes are triggered, which are responsible for muscle contraction. In addition, the drug, entering the body, uncontrollably removes calcium contained in the muscles, and, consequently, in the whole body as a whole. All this leads to loss of muscle contractility, paralysis of the insect and larvae, and death.
Instructions for the use of insecticide Coragen
The working solution is prepared directly in the sprayer tank equipped with an agitator. If the tank does not have such a part, or the spraying is planned to be carried out using a spray bottle, the mother liquor is prepared first, and then only the working solution. In this case, the container where the solution will be prepared is filled with a quarter of water, a small part of the insecticide is dissolved in it, and then the rest is added in portions until the required concentration is reached. The prepared working solution should be used all the same day.
Spraying is carried out in calm weather, in extreme cases, wind gusts can reach a maximum of 1-2 m / s, but so that the solution does not fall on neighboring crops. Temperature conditions are unimportant.
The drug will be effective only in the case of correct dosing and compliance with the consumption rates for a particular culture.
Compatibility and toxicity
The insecticide is used in tank mixtures containing a low concentration of active substances. At the same time, they thoroughly study the instructions of the drugs, and then pre-test them for compatibility.
By itself, Coragen is low-toxic to humans. However, all precautions must be taken when preparing the solution.As for the toxicity of the insecticide to the flora, the substance is safe for bees, although taking into account the distance to the border zone of summer, which is located at a distance of at least 4-5 km from the place where plants are sprayed.
But for aquatic inhabitants, the insecticide is extremely dangerous, so you should avoid getting it into water bodies. For this, an open bottle of insecticide is diluted and used on the same day, and the packaging itself is disposed of.
