The drug Borey, produced in the form of a concentrated suspension, is capable of protecting crops from many pests. The two-component base allows you to quickly destroy the entire colony of dangerous insects and provides a long-lasting effect even after a single treatment. Gardeners need special precautions and knowledge of the nuances of application on various crops due to the toxic composition of the insecticide.

Characteristics of Boreas

Borey insecticide contains two active substances - imidacloprid - its concentration is 150 g per 1 liter and lambda-cyhalothrin - 50 g per 1 liter of insecticide. These two components act differently, but together they have a detrimental effect on parasitic insects. For example, imidacloprid exhibits systemic translaminar activity.

The substance penetrates into plants through the green part and roots, spreads through the parenchyma and moves along the xylem. The second active substance, lambda-cyhalothrin, does not penetrate the plants, but remains on the surface of the treated crops.

Insect damage occurs both during the spraying process and during eating of treated plants, including those inside the plants. This is relevant for the fight against secretive insects, for example, stem sawflies on grain crops, as well as phytophages that feed on the underside of leaves and other parts of plants where the working solution of the insecticide may not reach. A few minutes after treatment, the pests stop feeding and die within 24 hours.

The preparative form of the Borey insecticide is a suspension concentrate.

Analogs

The use of two components turned out to be so effective that the idea was picked up by many manufacturers. Today the market offers several insecticides, analogues of Borea, based on lambda-cyhalothrin and imidacloprid. Often their operating principle is identical. The ratio of active ingredients, concentration and consumption of the drug differ slightly.

Gunner Duo. The concentration of lambda-cyhalothrin/imidacloprid is higher – 100 + 300 g/liter, respectively. It is used for the spread of leaf-eating and sucking pests. Parasitic insects die within an hour after spraying. Combines with growth stimulant additives and foliar feeding.

Gunner Duo

Greenfort IL-200. Two-component insecticide against a wide range of crop pests. The ratio of lambda-cyhalothrin/imidacloprid is 50 + 150 g/liter. Systemic, contact and contact-intestinal effects on pests. Particularly effective against hidden pests. It is characterized by its low cost per hectare of cultivation, therefore it is used for processing large areas.

Modern agricultural crops are gradually losing their innate ability to resist pests, and without modern insecticides it is difficult to obtain a decent harvest. Borei combines a quick effect, prolonged protection against pests, while it is completely removed from the vegetative parts and does not accumulate in the fruits.

How to prepare a working solution?

It is recommended to prepare the working substance before spraying. The preparation procedure should be carried out in equipped filling stations. The reservoir of the filling unit is filled halfway with the recommended amount of water, then the mixing mechanism is turned on and the required amount of insecticide is added. After this, the second half of the water is added. The entire process is carried out with constant stirring of the solution.

The resulting working fluid is supplied to the sprayer tank. If there is no special filling unit available, the solution can be prepared directly in the sprayer tank. In this case, the tank is also half filled with water, then with the mixer turned on, the required amount of insecticide is added to it, after which water is added to the required volume.

Storage rules

Borei insecticidal composition is stored for 3 years from the date of manufacture. Storage conditions: dry, dark and ventilated area. The concentrate should be stored in its original container. It can be stored together with fertilizers and other pesticides; food products, feed, medicines and household products are excluded.

Dispose of the drug after the expiration date. Use the entire solution on the day of preparation; it can only be stored for 1 day. After this time, there is no point in using it, as it loses its effectiveness.

Instructions for use of Borey insecticide

The method of processing crops and the time of its implementation mainly depend on the type of cultivated plants, as well as on the types of parasitic insects. For example, to destroy cruciferous or beet flea beetles, it is necessary to spray crops, but to eliminate other types of pests, spraying should be carried out during the growing season of plants, as soon as a large number of harmful insects appear on them. If areas are inhabited by locusts, then spraying is recommended during the period of larval development.

The developers of the Borey insecticide advise using it no more than 1-2 times per season. The waiting period for grain crops is 28 days, for peas, tomatoes, carrots and cabbage - 1 month, for apples, potatoes and beets - 20 days, for rapeseed - 38, for onions - 25, for vineyards - 10 days, for pastures - not regulated.

Attention! Spraying should be done early in the morning or before sunset. To avoid spraying the solution, treatment should be carried out in calm weather. Allowable wind speed is 1-2 m per second.

Since Borei is a toxic product that is dangerous for bees, it is necessary to notify nearby beekeepers a few days before treatment. The border protection boundary for bees should not be less than 4 km, the summer limit should be at least 120 hours.

What pests does it help with?

Borei is used to destroy pests on open ground crops. The insecticide is used to control potatoes, root crops, grain crops, as well as fruit trees and grapes.

Using Boreas is effective against:

• Colorado potato beetle;
• all types of locusts;
• aphids;
• onion, carrot flies;
• psyllids;
• codling moths;
• cruciferous flea beetles;
• thrips;
• scoop;
• drinkers;
• stem sawflies;
• weevils;
• meadow moth.

The drug has a rapid effect on insects. The pests stop feeding within one hour and die within 24 hours. The drug has a detrimental effect on adults and larvae.

From the Colorado potato beetle

Boreas from the Colorado potato beetle is a modern broad-spectrum insecticide. It kills adults and larvae of different ages. It retains its toxic properties for approximately 28 days. It does not affect vegetation and, when used correctly, does not harm the environment.

Before use, prepare a solution by dissolving the required amount of concentrate in cold water. The finished product has a slightly specific smell. Treatment of potatoes, tomatoes, and eggplants against the Colorado potato beetle is carried out by spraying. The drug is low toxic to humans, lethal to bees, amphibians and fish.

After processing plants, Boreas accumulates in leaves, stems, and partly in root crops. It takes 2 hours for complete absorption. The effectiveness of the drug is not affected by sunlight or unpleasant rains, but the poison gradually breaks down and is completely neutralized in 28 days.

The drug enters the insect's body through the intestinal contact route. Active ingredients disrupt the functioning of the nervous system. Within minutes, paralysis and death occur. The larvae die almost immediately if the poison gets on the chitinous shells during spraying.

When working with insecticides, wear rubber gloves, a respirator, long sleeves and a sweatshirt. Contact with skin causes irritation, allergic reactions, penetration into the respiratory tract can cause poisoning of varying severity. Early symptoms include headache, weakness, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort and diarrhea.

Bari Castle

Bari Castle.

This Norman castle on the outskirts of the old town is one of Bari's main attractions. It has been standing for hundreds of years and was supposedly built in the 1100s on the initiative of the Norman king Roger II to defend Apulia from Saracen invasion. Later the fortification was destroyed and was rebuilt for a long time. This defensive structure is considered one of the largest in all of Puglia. Its layout is quite typical - a stone bridge, a central courtyard, corner bastions, watchtowers and a moat surrounding the castle on three sides.

Despite the age of the structure, its original walls and towers have been perfectly preserved to this day. The castle stands on a hill to the west of the old town center, making it an excellent vantage point for stunning panoramas of Bari.

Visitors have the opportunity to get a closer look at the amazing architecture of the castle, stroll through the courtyard and passages, and climb the fortress walls. Materials on information boards and an exhibition of ancient artifacts located in the interior tell about the rich history of Bari Castle.

Reviews

Tamara, Podolsk

Last year I tried Borei as a poison against the potato beetle. After spraying, I was able to destroy the beetles and larvae of the pest. I recommend this drug in case of a massive potato beetle attack. Wear gloves and a respirator mask when working with pesticides.

Mikhail, Slavyansk nad Kuban

In my vineyard, I use a mixture (Borey, Falcon, Kuproxat) twice a season. It copes well with the spread of grasshoppers and cicadas. It does not disintegrate when exposed to heat and does not leave burns on the leaves. The cost, speed of action and protective function of the drug fully satisfy the requirements.

Base of the triad

Use of the drug Fitoverm

According to the plan of the Ministry of Defense, Borei-class submarines will form the basis of the naval part of Russia’s nuclear triad and will replace the missile carriers of the previous, third generation - 667BDR Kalmar and 667BDRM Dolphin, editor-in-chief of Arsenal of the Fatherland magazine Viktor Murakhovsky noted in an interview with RT .

• Project 667BDRM nuclear-powered strategic missile submarine "Dolphin"

“The Borey project boats will in the future replace the Project 667BDRM Dolphin submarines, which form the basis of our nuclear triad. They will serve for the next decades,” Murakhovsky noted.

“New quality of the Navy”: what Russia’s newest nuclear submarines will be capable of

In 2022, the Russian Navy will receive two nuclear submarines. This was stated by Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu. It's about...

The underwater displacement of the Borei submarine is 24 thousand tons, length is 170 m, and width is 13.5 m. The missile carrier can reach speeds of up to 29 knots, dive to a depth of 400 m and remain autonomous for up to 90 days.

One of the main features of the Borei class submarines is low noise; the designers managed to influence this indicator by using special sound-absorbing materials for lining the hull and propellers. In addition, the Borei can move with the help of special water jet systems, which also reduce noise.

In addition to noise characteristics, Russian submarines are superior to American ships of a similar class in terms of crew living comfort, added military expert Yuri Knutov.

“Given that the boat can be on combat duty for a very long time, this is extremely important, as it helps reduce psychological discomfort and increase the efficiency of the crew,” the expert said in an interview with RT
