Features of the use of the drug "Fufanon", how to handle plants

When external factors contribute to the intensive development of harmful insects, and mechanical methods against them no longer work, there comes an hour of chemical treatments. Moreover, each owner of the backyard area is looking for a high-speed effective means. In the state register of pesticides and agrochemicals permitted in Ukraine, more than 10 thousand drugs are charged, but in this article we will pay attention only to one of them. Let's try to figure out what Fufanon is, how it acts, what pests it affects and how dangerous it is for the environment.

"Fufanon": drug description and release form

The drug was developed by the Danish company "Keminova AGRO A / S", belongs to the phosphorus-organic insecticides of a wide spectrum of action. In Ukraine, it is registered as a means for processing: winter wheat, sugar beet, peas, sunflowers, hops, cabbage, apple trees, plums, vineyards, watermelons, melons, poppy seeds, champignons, flour in bags and unloaded warehouse space. On the garden plots, the pesticide is widely used to control bedbugs, ants, cockroaches and fleas.

Fufanon specializes in the destruction of sucking, gnawing and complex pests, and is also used as a remedy for ticks. In the field the protective function of the drug lasts up to 2 weeks after spraying, and indoors up to 21 days.

"Fufanon" is produced in the form of 57% or 47% of the emulsion concentrate, usually in 5 ml ampoules or 10 ml each in bottles, as well as in plastic cans with a capacity of 5 liters.

With proper use of the drug "Fufanon" with strict observance given in the instructions for use of the recommendations, it will not have a toxic effect on the treated plants.

Active ingredient and mechanism of action

The described chemical is an oily emulsion, which is poorly soluble, has no color, is prone to boiling at +157 ° C, and it begins to melt at + 28 ° C. The insecticide analyzed is not an innovation. The fact is that the composition of "Fufanon" contains the previously known active substance malathion in the ratio of 570 g / l, which is less toxic and in terms of its action close to karbofos. The active ingredient is a phosphorus compound. It affects parasites through direct contact, ingestion into the intestine, as well as poisoning by toxic fumes.

As a result, the enzyme acetylcholinesterase is inhibited, the transmission of nerve impulses fails, paralysis and insect death. Fumigation properties enhance the contact and intestinal reactions: within an hour, the pests cannot eat, and complete paralysis breaks them during the day. However, the wet weather and the mature age of beetles slow down the biochemical processes of the drug effect, therefore, in order to prolong its effect, make sure that the sprayer is adjusted to evenly spray very small particles.

Instructions for use "Fufanona" how to make a solution for the treatment of plants

The expected result depends on the quality of processing of plants, on the appeared parasites. Insecticide "Fufanon" measured spray on the site of infection until it gets wet, not bringing to the flow of toxic chemicals from foliage. Of course, for this you need to stock up with a sufficient amount of working solution. Before preparing it, carefully read the manufacturer’s recommendations.

The solution is prepared at the rate of 1 liter of water per 1 ml of poison, respectively, the contents of the 5-ml ampoule are dissolved in 5 l of water. In greenhouses on cucumbers, only 1 treatment with the drug from complex pests “Fufanon” is allowed, on tomatoes - 3. To organize the procedure, you must take into account the time of fruit ripening. After it is recommended not to eat vegetables for a week. On the open ground, regardless of the type of cultivated crop, 2 spraying is possible. And the latter is carried out 3 weeks before harvest. This insecticide is sensitive to precipitation and weather conditions, so the plants should be sprayed 2 hours before the rain. It is better to do this in the morning or evening, in dry, calm weather.

When large-scale processing of field crops, you will need 200 - 400 liters of working fluid per hectare. For processing "Fufanon" citrus, apple, pear, quince, plums, cherries and sweet cherry specified in the instructions for use in the garden, the flow rate of the working solution is 2-5 liters per 1 tree. Similarly, in the fight against mealybugs or spider mites on grapes.

For the processing of vegetable crops (cabbage, cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers), for the complete destruction of pests will need from 1 to 3 liters of liquid. On watermelons, melons and strawberries consumed about 5 liters per 10 m². In the berry, for pollination of currants and gooseberries will need about 1.5 liters of solution, and for raspberries and blackberries - about 2 liters. For roses, flower and decorative crops, the recommended rate of "Fufanon", according to the instructions for use for houseplants, is one and a half liters per 10 m².

For berry bushes and fruit trees, "Fufanon" is used when the garden is sprayed in the spring, about 2-3 weeks before flowering, and also after the leaves are dropped. For enhanced effect, the manufacturer recommends the use of ground-mounted or garden fan sprayers. Potted, flower, decorative and vegetable crops are disinfected at the first signs of parasite life. Removal of weeds and weeding in the treated beds will be safe for humans only after 10 days.

"Fufanon" as a remedy for bed bugs according to the instructions, it is recommended to use in diluted form in a ratio of 1.5 - 3.5 ml per 1 l of water (if the drug is in ampoules, the calculation of the proportions is the same as for plants - 1: 1). To get rid of cockroaches and ants - the ratio of 9-11 ml per 1l. The emulsion can be sprayed out of the spray or with a soft brush. The consumption rate per 1 m² is about 100 ml.

When processing, special attention should be paid to hard-to-reach places, crevices, plinths. To achieve the desired result, the room is carefully treated around the perimeter, including behind furniture, carpets, paintings, and even in places of exfoliated wallpaper. If you miss at least one slot where an annoying pest could hide, all efforts are in vain.

In the conditions of a harsh winter, when there is more than -20 ° C outside the window, clothes and other household items can be taken outside. With a strong population of parasites, it is possible to repeat the procedure with an interval of 3-4 days, when the incubation of eggs laid by the bugs ends.
