It is also important to properly and professionally deal with pests that can harm the plant and fruits. In this article, we will dwell in more detail on the description of the drug called Commander. This is a fairly intense insecticide, which, as practice has shown, is able to quickly and effectively deal with many pests. In particular, it is effective against Colorado beetles.
By its properties, the drug Komandor is an insecticide that affects the intestinal tract of an insect. In addition, the "Commander" can deal with gnawing and sucking pests, which are very actively spread over garden and cereal crops at certain periods of time. It can be used to kill aphids and thrips, miners and wireworms, Colorado beetles and cereal flour.
The Komandor product can be sprayed on plants, applied directly to the soil, and also treated tubers and seeds before planting them directly. This increases the degree of effectiveness in the fight against larvae and already adult insects, which very often settle and reproduce on plants. It is also worth noting that the drug is quite economical, small doses can be used over large areas.
Available in the form of a soluble concentrate, packs are usually sold in volumes from 4 to 100 milliliters. It is bought depending on what area needs to be treated, whether it will be primary or secondary processing, it is necessary to prevent the emergence of various pests, or to directly combat them. Effectiveness is maintained even if the processing is carried out in different temperature conditions - with sharp frosts or with abnormal heat.
Comandor drug: application for plants
After the plant is treated with the Komandor preparation, the agent gradually penetrates into the deciduous, stem and root systems of the culture. When a pest comes into contact with vegetative parts, it absorbs part of the substance. The normal functioning of the nervous system is gradually blocked by pests, which leads to its paralysis. He cannot eat, move, function normally, and a little later completely dies due to the fact that he completely loses absolutely any vital functions. At the same time, insects do not acquire immunity and do not adapt to the action of the drug, and this makes the Commander a unique tool to cleanse areas and plantations from pests and insects.
In particular, this remedy is popular in the fight against Colorado potato beetles.
