Spring is coming, and summer residents go to their backyard and summer cottages to sow them for further harvest. But there are many obstacles along the way. For example, when potatoes are planted, the fight against the Colorado potato beetle begins at the same time. The ideal option for such a fight is Prestige.
Instructions for the use of the drug "Prestige"
Even before planting potatoes, each landowner prepares to fight the Colorado potato beetle, which prevents potato tops from growing normally. You can buy many different products, but the most effective today is the drug "Prestige". But here many people thinking about using it may have a question about how safe is it for humans... Probably, first of all, look on the website what the prestige remedy for the Colorado potato beetle looks like in order to understand what you have to deal with.
If you go back a little in history, you will notice that our ancestors from such pests used a wide variety of infusions, most often made themselves with herbs. Now, pest remedies, the basis of which are chemical preparations, have spread. But now there are a lot of them and sometimes it seems that they are simply distinguished by bright labels and catchy names. Therefore, many land owners decide to switch back to the old old-fashioned methods, which make it possible to get rid of the pest and wireworm well.
Among all this variety, only the drug "Prestige" stands out, which does not require any skills and abilities to use it. And the instruction is usually always attached to a small bottle, which tells about how many liters of water it needs to be diluted.
Prescribing the drug
The main function of the Prestige preparation is the destruction of pests and wireworms. What insects can this remedy affect? So, the drug "Prestige" is intended to control the following pests:
Colorado beetle.- Medvedki.
- Different types of wireworm.
- May beetle larvae.
- Aphid.
- Cicadca.
- Mole.
- Fleas.
- Other insects are hunters for summer cottages.
It is necessary to start the fight against pests in advance, so that the remedy begins to act even when the plant begins to grow and until the moment when the potato continues to bloom. The duration must be counted from the moment when processing and planting potato tubers... This will approximately be 30 days. The drug "Prestige" not only affects pests, but also helps to get rid of various kinds of fungal diseases, rot and mold.

These are constant temperature drops, and lack of oxygen in the soil, drought, lack of light. And the drug "Prestige" will help the plant survive these climatic conditions.
The composition of the drug "Prestige"
It has been proven that this product, used to combat potato pests, does not cause any harm to health. But only in the composition of this drug there is such a substance as imilacloprid. The people usually use this remedy called "insecticide" and it is believed that it is harmful to the human body. But you should not be afraid of this.
The preparation also contains the substance pencycurin. But its action is short-term, since this substance usually quickly decomposes into components that no longer have toxicity.
