Appointment of the drug "Prestige"
The modern chemical industry offers farmers a wide range of pesticides that help protect products from insects and diseases, but after a few seasons the parasites adapt to the poison, which forces people to look for new ways of protection. For many years in a row, the best option has been a remedy from the Bayer Corporation.
What is processed by Prestige
According to the instructions for use of the Prestige drug, the pesticide has the properties of both an insecticide and a fungicide. Unlike more affordable analogues, the poison does not affect the development of plants, increasing resistance to ailments and environmental influences.
The disinfectant is used for processing:
- potatoes;
- pepper;
- tomatoes;
- eggplant;
- cabbage;
- ornamental plants;
- fruit trees, bushes.
Protection from pests and diseases
Throughout the growing season, the agent protects against fungal diseases: scab, rhizoctonia and wet rot. The anti-stress effect improves product quality and contributes to an increase in the growth of green mass. The chemical penetrates into the receptors of pests, blocks the transmission of nerve impulses. The insecticide kills:
- Colorado potato beetle;
- bear;
- thrips;
- wireworms;
- flea beetles;
- mole;
- aphids.
Prestige after seed treatment starts working in a few hours. The drug is completely removed from the product after 2 months. This feature allows you to apply the chemical once a season without repeated procedures.
The composition of the drug "Prestige"
The main active ingredients of the etchant are pencycuron and imidacloprid. The Baer Corporation has patented a unique combination, so cheaper analogs do not have such efficiency. All substances are poisonous, but after 40 days they begin to decompose, gradually coming out of the crop. After 50 days, there are no remaining connecting elements in the composition of the product.
The drug is classified as a medium toxicity agent (class 3), all work is carried out in protective clothing. Fungicidal components slow down the development of fungi, reduce the supply of nutrients to the mycelium. The insecticidal component of the product blocks the nerve impulses of pests. With proper use, no dangerous chemical elements are found in root crops and green mass after 40 days.
The drug is released in the form of a suspension, which is diluted to the desired concentration with water. Thanks to the patented composition, the poison solidifies on the surface of the seed in the form of a thin film.During the specified time, chemicals are not washed off from plants treated according to the instructions during irrigation and do not decompose under the influence of natural whims (frost, heat).
Packaging options are designed for volumes from 10 ml to 5 liters.
Strengths and weaknesses of the drug "Prestige"
The drug is used once a season.
Despite the high price, Prestige for potato processing is very popular among domestic and foreign farmers. The complex preparation allows, in one procedure, not only to protect plants from insects and fungi, but also increases stress resistance and immunity. One application is sufficient during the season.
Another plus of the dressing agent is the effect that makes the chemical look like a fertilizer. Due to the activation of metabolic processes, the formation of healthy greens in crops improves and root crops ripen quickly. The volume of the harvest increases significantly.
Treating the Colorado potato beetle before planting creates powerful protection for 60 days. The dressing agent disintegrates within 50 days, after which it leaves the tubers without a trace. The preparation is not suitable for growing young potatoes. In this case, it is better to give preference to less toxic species.
Insecticidal properties allow you to get rid of Homoptera and Lepidoptera insects. Fungicidal properties will create an ideal shield against fungal diseases. The absence of pests and ailments makes it possible to improve the presentation of tubers and fruits.
The prestige of the Colorado potato beetle has practically no drawbacks. If you use the drug according to the instructions and follow the safety rules, there will be no risk. The pesticide has special storage requirements.
How to use the drug "Prestige"
before use, the Prestige potato treater is diluted in the following proportion: 60 ml of the product per 1 liter of water. The components are stirred and poured into a sprayer. It is important to achieve a homogeneous solution, otherwise small particles can clog the equipment. The active substance is rapidly activated.
For spraying the tops, soaking the roots before planting, 50 ml of the suspension is diluted in 5 liters of water. The resulting solution is applied using a special sprinkler. The recommended procedure allows you to protect the greens for a period of 30 days or more. Duration of stay in liquid - at least 10 hours.
Potatoes are treated with KS Prestige against the Colorado potato beetle before planting. To do this, 150 ml of the substance is diluted in 3 liters of water. The resulting solution is sprayed up to 150 kg of tubers, used 2 weeks before the start of agricultural work. The sprouted material is planted in the ground.
Large farms use a pest control agent. In 10 liters of the substance, 1 ton of seeds can be processed. Irrigation is carried out just before planting.
It is undesirable to leave the working solution for a long period without shaking.
To protect against sucking and leaf-gnawing parasites, it is customary to spray fruit and ornamental plant varieties with chemicals. 20 ml of the suspension is dissolved in 1 liter of pure liquid, after which it is applied to the roots during planting or to the aerial parts. Gardeners often add the product to the clay "chatterbox".
Safety regulations
Prestige preparation for potato processing is used according to the instructions. Before agricultural work, they carefully study the rules for spending the funds. To avoid poisoning, use:

The ingestion of a poisonous substance into the stomach can be harmful. To save a person from the pesticide, flushing is necessary. Absorbing drugs are used (activated carbon, "Polysorb"), after which they turn to a medical institution for help.
Potato pickling is carried out outdoors or in an equipped room. The tubers are laid out on a thick film in 2 layers, after which they are sprayed with a spray device. According to the description, there is no need to turn the seed over.
For small farms, Prestige does not need to be diluted on an industrial scale for processing, 50 ml of suspension per 1 liter of water is enough. Farmers often use a plastic container, and the potatoes are placed in a net. It is forbidden to cut the tubers and independently increase the dosage rate of the agent.
To process the seed before planting in the ground, you need to carefully check each specimen. You can not take root crops with impaired integrity, putrefactive processes and older than one year. During work, friction between the tubers is not allowed.
