Akarin - instructions for use of crop treatment product

The drug Akarin, instructions for use of which are given below, differs in many respects from similar plant pest control products. Finding a good remedy for aphids, mites, and beetles that spoil vegetables and berries is not so easy.

And biological products, although not toxic, are not effective or have a long shelf life. Therefore, gardeners should take note of a new generation drug - Akarin.

Composition and principle of action of the drug “Akarin”

The drug “Akarin” contains the active substance Avertin N - an extract from the streptomycete fungus. It is a combination of avermectins and is the strongest enterocontact neurotoxin, promoting the release of aminobutyric acid from nerve fibers. The components of the poison disrupt all connections, contributing to their paralysis. The insect becomes immobilized and dies.

Methods and recommendations for use

For the drug “Akarin”, use is prescribed as part of the prevention and control of harmful insects. Often used by people who maintain a private garden or vegetable garden or for entire farms.

Basic recommendations:

1. The poison is diluted in a certain amount of water; it must be used within one hour, otherwise the effect of the substance will be significantly reduced.
2. The poison is effective against ticks and mole crickets, but the leaves must be treated on both sides of the plant.
3. Before spraying poison, make sure that the weather is dry and there is no wind.
   If the seedlings have just been planted and the plants and soil are moistened, then spraying should be carried out the next day. When using Akarin for seedlings, should you water or spray? When watering, there is a possibility of poor distribution throughout the structure of the plant; it is preferable to spray the poison. The drug is diluted in a certain amount of water
4. The strength of the drug's effect is increased by high air temperatures (not lower than 20 degrees), when insects are especially active, otherwise the poison may have little effect and the effectiveness of the drug is reduced.
5. The poison does not penetrate plant tissue and remains outside, so spot spraying should be carried out. Curled leaves with aphids should be removed before processing.
6. You will have to spray the poison several times, since it is necessary to eliminate not only the insects, but also their babies that are in the eggs. The components do not affect them, only hatched individuals.

How to breed “Akarin” for indoor plants? To do this, you will need half a liter of water and one 5 ml ampoule of the drug. The solution should be used immediately and a control spraying should be done two days later. You can use a regular water spray.

Instructions for use

The manufacturer, after lengthy research on the poison and its effect on parasites, came up with a specific formula. For each type of pest, a certain amount of insecticide is used.

It is very important to maintain the right amount of poison and water:

• vegetable crops (cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes and eggplants), from mites, aphids and thrips, are treated as follows: one 5 ml ampoule is diluted in 0.5 liters of water. Spraying should be repeated a couple more times;
• potatoes against the Colorado potato beetle - dilute one ampoule per 5 liters of water; from larvae - one ampoule per 1.5 liters. The plant is processed three times at intervals of 3 days;
• cabbage is poisoned against pest butterflies according to the following scheme: one ampoule per 2.5 liters of water;
• currants against ticks - dilute one ampoule per 5 liters of water;
• fruit trees from aphids - 5 ml ampoule per 1 liter of water, from codling moths, leaf rollers and moths - per 1.5 liters of water.

A specific amount of insecticide is used for each pest species

“Akarin” instructions for use for indoor plants:

• the solution is diluted - 5 ml of poison to 0.5 water;
• after 2 days it should be repeated;
• The contents of the ampoule should be dissolved in a special container;
• You should protect your hands and nasopharynx from the effects of the poison.

For subsequent treatments, it is necessary to use a new ampoule with a new portion of water. If you have a liter of solution left in your sprayer, use it on other crops, but do not save it for next time.

Akarin: reviews on the use of the drug against pests

Olga, 45 years old, Moscow region: Last year we purchased a country house with a garden, which was very neglected, overgrown, and there were a lot of ants, aphids and other pests in the garden. First, they actively cleared the thickets, then they began to fight pests. They used various insecticides and folk remedies, but only Akarin helped effectively, which they used to treat the garden several times until they got rid of all the harmful insects. I'm happy with the product, but you can't use it during the rainy season - it washes off really quickly.

Natalya, 50 years old, Volgograd region: To treat the garden and vegetable garden, we alternately used Fitoverm and Akarin, which, according to sellers, are analogues. But I can say based on experience - Fitoverm is much weaker. Therefore, for the last couple of years I have been using only Akarin, which the pests have not become accustomed to.

Sergey, 55 years old, Ryazan region: Akarin is an effective insecticide - tested in practice in my own garden, when there was an invasion of aphids and ants one season. We had to treat it more than once, but we got rid of all the pests. From now on I will only use this drug. You just need to treat the plants in personal protective equipment and use the prepared solution completely right away. The remaining solution cannot be stored; it must be poured out immediately.

Due to its high efficiency in pest control, as well as the ability to simultaneously serve as a fertilizer for cultivated plants, summer residents should pay attention to the insecticide Akarin.

This drug is quite affordable, it is easy to dilute and spray, and pests do not become accustomed to the substance (which is important), so one insecticide can be used throughout the entire summer season.

Precautions when using Akarina

This poison, if you look at the description, belongs to the third class of danger. However, some scientists insist on assigning it a second class.

Therefore, it is better to work with such a substance in a full combat kit, namely:

• in special overalls or closed tight clothing;
• shoes must be closed or isolated from splashes using shoe covers;
• You should wear long rubber gloves on your hands;
• a respirator or mask is put on the nasopharynx area;
• eyes must be protected with glasses.

Protective equipment will reduce the risk of exposure to toxins to zero. In the absence of specialized equipment, you can use improvised clothing: a raincoat and a special shield made of transparent plastic over the face (which will protect the eyes and respiratory organs).

Protective devices will help reduce the risk of exposure to toxins to zero.

Pros and cons of using

Speaking about the positive and negative aspects of using Akarin on a plot of land, many farmers compare it with other drugs of this class.

Most of the advantages, of course, are similar to other protective equipment. What then makes Akarin different? What distinguishes from the total mass of funds for agriculture? Let's compare the characteristics and properties of the insecticide, highlighting only the differences:

1. Great for indoor plants and flowers.
2. If you use it at home, you don’t have to worry about parasites getting used to Akarin.
3. Eliminates most parasitic insects. Recommended for use against caterpillars.
4. It copes with its tasks perfectly even in extreme heat.
5. Works selectively. Low consumption.

Of the negative aspects, only two problems stand out. But the same disadvantages exist in 75% of insecticides:

1. Not used during flowering, as it has been found to be highly toxic to honey plants.
2. It poses a threat to birds, earthworms and fish.

First aid

[adsp-pro-5]

If the drug is in any way spilled on the skin or drunk, first aid must be provided:

• Be sure to call an ambulance;
• Remove the product with a cotton swab or towel, try not to rub the solution into the skin;
• If Akarin gets into your eyes, rinse thoroughly with water (at least 15 minutes);
• If a person has inhaled vapors, take him out into fresh air;
• If you swallow the contents of the ampoule, drink activated charcoal (1 tablet/1 kg of weight), try to induce vomiting

Remember that the use of any product requires attention, as well as secure storage away from children and animals.

Security measures

To use Akarin, whose hazard class is level 3, you must not only pay close attention to dosages, but also limit yourself from contact with the potent substance.

Spray only in special clothing.

Carry out processing only in special clothing. It is advisable that it be a suit made of thick fabric that reliably protects the arms and neck. Do not neglect the mask and respirator: drops of liquid and its vapor can enter the body, causing quite a lot of harm to health.

Important: If you often work in the garden, buy a special suit. Do not spray plants while wearing open clothing, such as a T-shirt or tank top.

After carrying out work, wash your hands thoroughly in a 5% soda solution. Disinfect your clothes: leave them for a while and then wash them with soap and soda. You can then reuse your costume.

How does Akarin work?

Akarin works great in hot weather conditions. With particles of vegetation, parasites ingest toxic substances that paralyze the nervous system. Movement becomes difficult, eating becomes more difficult, and soon the insects die. Weak individuals die within two days, the majority on the fifth day.

The product has a double effect. The bulk of parasites disappear instantly during the treatment period. The surviving part some time after eating the treated vegetation. Even surviving individuals are not able to get used to the drug and will be destroyed with further spraying.

In order for the drug to work most effectively, the area should be thoroughly weeded before use. All weeds are removed from the ridges, which prevent the substance from penetrating the lower parts of the leaf mass. Also, before spraying, remove damaged shoots and shoots.
