Corado (insecticide): instructions for use, composition and properties

The insecticide Corado is produced in the Russian Federation in Nizhny Novgorod by LLC “Vashe Khozyaystvo”. The active substance (AI) of this drug - imidacloprid from the chemical class of neonicotinoids - in the same concentration of 20% (200 g/1 l) is used in several dozen pesticides for similar purposes (Tanrek, Imidor, Prestige, etc.). Their formulations are also the same: ready-to-use solution (VR or P). However, it would be wrong to consider Corado only a fruit and a means of competition: this drug is intended for use in private household plots not only in terms of volume and type of packaging, but also in terms of its full chemical composition, see below. For a presentation of Corado (of an advertising nature), see the video below:

The main properties of the product "Colorado"

The drug for controlling the Colorado potato beetle "Colorado" is a powerful insecto-fungoacaricide with a triple action effect (intestinal, contact, systemic), which has a positive effect on the process of eliminating the population of insect pests.
The active ingredient in the remedy for Colorado beetles and other insect pests is the neonicotinoid imidacloprid, contained in Colorado in the amount of 200 grams per 1 liter of concentrate.

Imidacloprid, acting on the central nervous system of the Colorado potato beetle by binding to the corresponding receptors, causes paralysis of the pest and its convulsions. The death of the Colorado potato beetle population occurs very quickly, and the maximum impact occurs within 3-5 days after spraying the plants with the product. High residual activity allows the substance to maintain a protective effect for up to 14-28 days.

Imidacloprid has a crystalline structure and the following physical characteristics:

• molecular weight value – 255.7;
• melting point value – 136.4-143.8°C;
• solubility in water at a temperature of 20°C is 0.51 grams per 1 liter of water.

Features of the drug against the Colorado potato beetle

Corado belongs to a group of pesticides that fight not only Colorado potato beetles, but also annoying aphids. The product is produced in ampoules of 1 ml or in the form of bottles of 10, 25 ml. The packaging is sealed, which prevents poison from spilling during transportation.

Compared to other products, Corado has many advantages. An important advantage is its resistance to moisture and scorching sun.

Other positive aspects of the product:

• Pests do not get used to this drug, since it is one of the new ones;
• fulfills its protective properties throughout the month;
• has a quick effect on pests;
• low price category;
• destroys not only adult beetles, but also their larvae.

The mixture consists of an avermectin complex. It is obtained from mushrooms of the Streptomyces family. The main active ingredient of Corado is imidacloprid.

The product can be stored for 3 years, provided that the packaging has not been opened. It is not recommended to keep the printed ampoule for more than a day. In this case, the temperature regime of the room must be observed. The optimal indicators are -5C - +25C.

Description and release form

This is not just a remedy for the Colorado potato beetle and its larvae, but also a remedy for aphids, onion and carrot flies. The Corado insecticide is produced in India and supplied to our market not so long ago, so it is not known to all farmers.

The insecticide contains special components that are obtained from a fungus of the genus Streptomyces. The active ingredient of this drug is imidacloprid, it has a sharp, specific odor that is not dangerous to the human respiratory tract.

“Corado” is sold in liquid form, packaged as follows:

• 1 ml ampoules, packed in a bag;
• boxes with 1 ml ampoules (5 pcs.);
• glass bottle 10 ml;
• glass bottle 25 ml (box).

Instructions for use are included on each package.

The good thing about the Corado insecticide is that it has a long shelf life, is resistant to moisture and direct sunlight, stays on plants for at least a month after spraying, and the insects themselves have not yet developed immunity to it, so they die immediately.

What kind of drug

Judging by the manufacturer’s assurances, Corado guarantees the death of adult Colorado potato beetles and their emerging larvae by 100%. The main advantage of the drug is the lack of resistance (addiction, adaptation) of the pest to the composition of the insecticide.

The main working substance is avermectin complex and imidacloprid. Corado can get rid of not only Colorado potato beetles, but also potato ladybugs, pest bugs, spider mites, ground beetles and aphids. Since all of these pests are also difficult to eradicate, the ability to fight them speaks to another strong point of the drug - its versatility.

Corado is not afraid of weather conditions: neither the sun nor the rain affect its operation in any way. Hazard class – third, which indicates relative harmlessness to people and animals. But it is dangerous for honey-bearing insects (for them - hazard class I), so the drug is prohibited for use if there is an apiary near the garden.

Analogues of the drug can be considered Konfidor, Prestige, Tanrek.

Shelf life – 3 years.

Release form

Corado is a concentrated insecticidal solution with a pungent, unpleasant odor. It is offered on the market in the form of ampoules of 1 and 5 ml or bottles of 10 and 25 ml. This packaging is very convenient in terms of efficiency and the ability to choose the appropriate volume depending on the area of ​​the garden that needs to be processed.

The ampoules are packaged in a blister, which contains instructions for use indicating the required ratios of solution and water, depending on the type of pest. For example, to kill aphids - one dosage (more concentrated), and to treat nightshade plants against the Colorado potato beetle - another.

The difference from a fake can be considered the excellent quality of the blister: the picture and all the information on the packaging of the real product are very clear and of high quality. On a counterfeit, the font is blurry and lacks clarity.

Efficiency and operating principle

The active ingredient (imidacloprid) has a nerve-paralytic effect on beetles and other pests. After just an hour and a half, the parasites stop feeding and multiplying, and their motor activity slows down. There is no need to be alarmed if, after treatment, still living beetles are noticed: they can no longer cause harm to the plantings, and their death will certainly occur in 2-3 days. After treatment, the product continues to act for 3 to 4 weeks.

Corado kills the entire population of pests completely, from larvae to adults, and reduces the viability of laid eggs. And as the promising phrase on the packaging says, there will be no survivors.

As already mentioned, the drug is not addictive. But, despite this, it can be successfully used twice, but for the third time it is advisable to replace the insecticide with another, with other active ingredients. This does not indicate a false promise by the manufacturer that Corado does not cause resistance. The fact is that people themselves form the addiction of pests to drugs, using the same means against them constantly.

The use of Corado is recommended only if pests are actually present in the garden. For prophylactic purposes, it makes no sense to use the drug.

Advantages of the drug

Those who, before using Corado, unsuccessfully fought the Colorado potato beetle with other poisons, note the following advantages:

1. Nice price and low consumption.
2. Easy to use.
3. Suitable for controlling eggs, larvae and adults of Colorado potato and other pests.
4. Can be used on different crops (cherries, cabbage, potatoes, currants, cucumbers and tomatoes, onions, carrots).
5. Economical. It takes 1 ml of the drug to process a potato field of 1 hundred square meters. This is one dose per ampoule.
6. Does not harm animals or humans.
7. High efficiency. The action begins after a single application.
8. Long shelf life.

Corado kills pests, causing paralysis, and becomes part of its structure, as a result of which the plant becomes stronger, grows better and gains immunity for the entire period of action. Vegetables do not suffer from the use of chemicals, but the pest, which managed to hide from direct contact with the drug by eating the pulp of the greens, receives a dose of poison along with it and dies in two or three days.

How does the drug against pests work: spectrum of activity

Over time, the Colorado potato beetle and a host of other pests can perfectly adapt to the influence of various chemicals and poisons. This is due to the fact that such pests multiply very quickly.

But in the case of Corado, everything is completely different. This drug ensures that there will be fewer harmful insects, and by the end of the season almost all of them will be exterminated. Corado is not afraid of sunlight and does not lose its properties depending on weather conditions.

Just a couple of hours after treating crops with poison, it affects the nervous system of insects, and causes them to stop eating and no longer harm the plants.

A day after using Corado, the larvae of the Colorado potato beetle will begin to die, and after some time, all adult representatives of these insects will completely die.

Advantages and disadvantages of the drug "Colorado"

Historical reference

The liquid in the ampoule or bottle is a solution of a substance called imidacloprid at a concentration of 200 g/l.
This newest chemical was developed by the German chemical and pharmaceutical company Bayer. Its sole worldwide patent recently expired and imidacloprid is now free to be produced and sold by any entity. A large quantity is produced in China and supplied for packaging to other countries. Imidacloprid belongs to the chemical group of neonicotinoids - artificial analogues of the natural alkaloid nicotine.

The alkaloid nicotine is found in the tops of plants of the Solanaceae family. There is especially a lot of it in tobacco. Even in ancient times, it was noticed that tobacco infusion had a detrimental effect on many insects. In the twentieth century, artificial pure nicotine was synthesized, but it turned out to be a strong poison not only for insects, but also for humans. Scientists continued their research and developed new substances - neonicotinoids, which are poisonous to insects in small doses, but relatively safe for humans and animals.

In the modern world, 5 main neonicotinoids are used to control insects in everyday life and agriculture:

• thiacloprid (only for large agricultural enterprises),
• thiamethoxam (Aktara),
• acetamiprid (Stozhar, Mospilan),
• clothianidin (Apache, Bushido, Punisher),
• imidacloprid (several dozen drugs).

Colorado potato beetle close up

The principle of operation of the product

The active substance amidacloprid in Corado is a nerve poison with a specific property. After penetrating into the sap of the plant, the poison is absorbed, moves through the vessels, distributed throughout all its parts. Under the damaging effect of the active substance, the transmission of impulses from the central nervous system to muscle cells is blocked.

Poisoning causes involuntary muscle contractions, which gradually become convulsive and then completely paralyzed, as a result of which the larvae that eat the plant leaves die.

The drug is distinguished by its duration of action, its protective properties persist for a long time after spraying.

On a note! A distinctive property of pesticides based on imidacloprid is that there is no ability of pests to become accustomed to this poison.

Operating principle

During crop treatment, imidacloprid penetrates into the plant in the shortest possible time. The substance becomes a kind of both an internal defender of culture and an organic stimulator of its growth. When eating a plant, small doses of imidacloprid enter the insect's body, but this is enough to paralyze the nervous system of the pest. The insect begins to lose vitality, stops feeding, and 2-3 days after contact with the chemical it completely dies. The Corado insecticide destroys both adult insects and their larvae and reduces the viability of eggs.

The uniqueness of Corado lies in the fact that the drug has a long period of protection: pests do not get used to the product, even if adult insects or their larvae managed not to die after the first treatment, for 3 seasons. After the 3rd treatment of plants with Corado solution, it must be alternated with an insecticide that contains another active ingredient.

Compound

The active component is a broad-spectrum insecticidal substance - imidacloprid. There are no populations of Colorado potato beetles resistant to this poison. The poison acts in several directions, providing high efficiency in a matter of days.

The insecticidal substance acts by contact-intestinal route. The maximum concentration of poison is maintained for 5 days after processing the potatoes. It penetrates into the body of insects when the product comes into contact with the chitinous cover, during feeding.

Corado from the Colorado potato beetle

Mechanism of action

Chemical formula of imdacloprid

Imidacloprid (chemical formula and its spatial model in the figure on the right) and in Corado remains a neonicotinoid - a neurotoxin (nerve poison) with a specific effect. Imidacloprid causes, so to speak, abnormal discharges in the nicotinic acetylcholine postsynaptic membranes of the synapses of nerve cells, i.e. blocks the transmission of “command” impulses from the central nervous system to muscle cells. As poisoning progresses, involuntary muscle contractions begin, turning into convulsions and complete paralysis, resulting in death. Neonicotinoids have the strongest effect on insects (all without exception); weakest on vertebrates. But the mechanism and consequences of poisoning are the same in all cases, only the lethal dosage is different.

Therefore, precautions when working with neonicotinoids should be strictly observed.

Consumption rate for different plants

The insecticide is used for spraying potatoes, tomatoes, eggplants, apple trees and other crops. Consumption rates and dosages for each plant are different, so before using the product you must carefully read the instructions contained on the package.

Potatoes - to destroy the Colorado potato beetle, 1 ml of the drug is used per 100 m² of plantings. If there are wireworms in the soil, before planting, it is recommended to treat the tubers in Corado solution, which is diluted at the rate of 1 ml of insecticide per 10 liters of water. In private farms, 4 liters of working fluid are consumed per 100 m²;

Apple tree - treated during the growing season when a large number of aphids appear. The solution is prepared at the rate of 2.5-5 ml of product per 10 liters of water. One medium-sized tree requires about 5 liters of finished working fluid.

Expert opinion Stanislav Pavlovich A gardener with 17 years of experience and our expert Important: Corado should not be used during flowering of garden and vegetable crops, as this can cause mass death of pollinating insects.

Methods of storage and combination with other drugs

If the solution is fresh, then it is not stored, but used immediately.

Storage Features:

• the packaged drug is stored for 3 years;
• average temperature from +5 to +35 degrees;
• store in places out of reach of children and animals.

It is recommended to store and use separately from other drugs.

The product contains components that are inconsistent with other substances.

Other means may include:

• insecticides;
• fungicides;
• biological products;
• poisonous compounds;
• activators and growth regulators.

Note! The exception will be alkaline components. Before use, a small chemical compatibility test should be carried out.

If a sediment remains, the incompatibility is obvious.

The poison can be used against various insects and for a variety of crops. Features of dilution proportions, waiting periods and other standards will be given below.

Examples of plants and processing features:

1. Potatoes – removes the Colorado potato beetle and potato ladybug, the working rate of the solution is 5 ml per 20 liters, normally 4 ml per 100 square meters should be used. Spraying should be carried out during the period of insect reproduction and the activation of crop growth. 1 treatment is enough, work can begin 3 days after spraying.
2. The main pest of apple trees is aphids. For leaves, use 5 ml of solution per 20 liters of water, and for aphids feeding on shoots, 10 ml of solution per 10 liters of water. Application rates are as follows: 2 or 2.5 liters per young plant, 3-3.5 liters per plant of medium height and up to 5 liters per mature tree, with a crown with a diameter of 12 - 15 m. The norm can also be determined by eye - the solution should cover surface with a film, without dripping. Spraying should be carried out after the flower corollas fall off and the ovaries form. The waiting period is 20 days, 1 treatment is enough, and you can start work after 3 days.
3. Carrots for storage - carrot fly. Prepare the solution in the proportion of 1 ml of chemical per 1 liter of water. The norm is 1 liter per 100 square meters. Crops are sprayed twice: during the first mass attack of pests and after 21 days. The waiting period is 30 days. Work begins in 3 days.

Treat all plants, as well as the surface of the potato bed, at the same frequency, with the exception of onions.

Preparation and use of working solution

To get a positive result, you must use the insecticide correctly. To treat tomatoes and eggplants growing in open ground, as well as potato beds, the solution is diluted at the rate of 1 ml of product per 5 liters of water. Before preparing the working fluid, it is recommended to warm the water to room temperature.

If there are wireworms and aphids on the site, you will need to dilute 5 ml of Corado in 10 liters of water for potatoes, cucumbers and tomatoes. The same dosage is used when processing vegetable crops that grow in a greenhouse.

It is better to spray plants in the morning or evening, in the absence of strong wind.

Application procedure

Corado working solution for open ground plants is prepared on the basis of a mother solution so that the chemically active solvent does not get on the plants. A measured dose of the drug is poured into 1 liter of lukewarm water (25-28 degrees) and the solution is allowed to stand for 1-5 minutes. In the meantime, fill the sprayer tank halfway, pour the mother solution into it while stirring, and immediately start working, because the working solution must be produced in no more than 4 hours.

Plants are treated according to the usual rules with one exception: the weather must be dry. Working hours are late morning (after the dew has dried) or evening from the subsidence of the day's heat until sunset. The permissible wind force is no more than 5 m/s (thin tree branches sway from time to time). Time before rain – 6 hours.

Corado's working solution for treating seed (see below), due to the low total consumption, is prepared directly in the tank of a hand-held sprayer. Before starting work, the device is kept for approx. 5 minutes with the head removed (with the neck open). The readiness of the solution for use is determined by the absence of the smell of the solvent. You need to sniff chemically: holding the container 15-20 cm from your face, wave your palm over your neck towards you while inhaling. Poking your nose into the neck and sniffing is unacceptable!

Instructions for using the Corado insecticide on private farms are given in table. below. The fungicidal activity of the drug is manifested at a dosage equal to or higher than that indicated in the column for treating onion sets, but at a concentration an order of magnitude lower, the phytotoxicity of the drug is already strongly manifested, therefore exceeding the indicated dosages for treating vegetative plants is unacceptable.

Instructions for use

When diluting the drug, you need to take into account the area being treated. The consumption of "Colorado" is 1 ml per 1 hundred square meters (100 sq.m.). The procedure is carried out in the early morning or evening so that it has time to be well absorbed, which will protect gardeners and their animals from harmful fumes of the drug. The treatment should be carried out in the direction of the wind at a speed of no more than 2 m/s, so that droplets of the solution do not fall on the summer resident.

Dilute the product (1 ml bottle) in 5-10 liters of water at room temperature. Mix well, pour into a spray bottle and irrigate plants infested with insects. They process carefully so as not to miss a single bush. Especially the leaves, where there is a large concentration of larvae. Dilute Colorado immediately before use, while protecting the skin and respiratory tract. The solution must be used immediately.

Important! The treatment procedure should be carried out no later than 20 days before harvest, so that imidacloprid has time to erode. In areas with high harmfulness of the leaf beetle, the use of the drug begins when insects colonize 5% of potato bushes or when their first larvae appear.

How to use Corado

The drug must be diluted with water at the rate of 1 ml per 10 liters of water. The instructions for use of Corado indicate that 1 ml can be diluted with five liters of water. But this mixture turns out to be too highly toxic, so it is better to use a 1:10 solution. The contents of the ampoule are enough for 100 square meters. meters.

Wear protective clothing before starting work, and not just while spraying.

On a note. After processing the bushes, burn all used accessories.

The last spraying must be carried out no later than a month before harvest. The instructions do not say anything about treatment during flowering, but nevertheless, during this period it is recommended to leave the plants as quiet as possible. If there is a great need for processing, it is better to use folk remedies.

To treat with Colorado, you need to choose dry, clear weather. It is advisable to spray potatoes early in the morning or in the afternoon, when there is no longer any intense heat. The bushes must be processed carefully, slowly.

After finishing work, hands and face should be washed with soap. Even if the drug does not get into the respiratory tract or mucous membranes, it is better to drink a few tablets of activated carbon just in case to avoid accidental poisoning.

Application area

The popularity of Corado is caused not only and not so much by the relatively low price combined with catchy advertising. Based on the complex of properties of the drug, it is possible to determine the scope of its use in private household plots:

• Corado, like its chemical “brothers,” is primarily a remedy for the Colorado potato beetle on potatoes and aphids on apple trees.
• At the same time, the drug is applicable against some pests that are “atypical” for neonicotinoids, see below.
• Corado is not only a one-time “first aid” for a massive pest invasion: this drug is applicable as a powerful means of ongoing (planned) control of target objects of elimination.
• For potatoes, in exceptional cases, it is permissible to use the drug twice during the season, and for some. For other crops, 2-fold processing is routine (also see below).
• In the black soil zone and south of Corado, it can be used for up to 3 seasons in a row, without fear of the accumulation of the active substance in the soil.
• Corado is not applicable for protected soil crops (in greenhouses).

Note: in addition to apple trees, Corado from pome fruits is applicable according to the same regulations on quince and medlar (loquat, sheseku). But it is unacceptable to use it on pears, stone fruits and berries - the active substance will penetrate through the cuticle of the ovaries into the ripening fruits and remain in their pulp for an indefinitely long time!

“Colorado” and “fly” Corado

Corado drug against onion and carrot flies

LLC “Vashe Khozyaystvo” offers Corado in 2 commercial formulations: against the Colorado potato beetle and against onion and carrot flies, see fig. on right. The visible difference between them is the granularity of packaging: “Colorado” corado is bottled in ampoules of 1 and 5 ml and in bottles of 10 and 25 ml. Ampoules with a capacity of 1 ml are packaged individually or in blisters of 5 pieces; 5 ml ampoules individually. “Fly” Corado is packaged in blisters in pairs of 2 ml ampoules.

The chemical composition and effect of Corado in any packaging are identical; as they say, “they poured from the same barrel.” The difference in packaging size is explained by ease of use against target objects, see below. But if for some reason it is more convenient for you to poison the “Colorados” with the “fly” Corado or vice versa, do not hesitate - the effect will be the same, because the substance in container units is the same.

Note: the expression “they poured from the same barrel” has a relatively recent origin, from a Soviet joke. A Krokodil correspondent interviews the director of an Armenian wine and cognac company. He asks: “At the competition in Paris, your 3-star cognac won a gold medal, but your 5-star cognac did not reach the finals at all. How do you explain this? He throws up his hands - “I don’t understand. They poured from one barrel."

Corado from cows

In addition to the target elimination targets indicated on the packaging, both Corado formations are equally effective against another pest - the 28-spot or potato ladybug. This cute little bug has not yet gained the sad fame of its striped “colleague,” but in some regions it successfully competes with it in terms of harmfulness.

Pest potato beetle (28 spot) ladybird

The color of the potato ladybug is variable (see figure), even the number of spots is not necessarily 28, but this does not make it any more harmless. In addition, 28-spotted, like all ladybugs (including beneficial entomophages) can be dangerous to humans. From time to time, ladybugs are attacked by some kind of beetle rage; they attack people in masses and bite. Ladybird bites are weak (they do not bite through the skin until it bleeds), but are poisonous. There are known cases where hordes of maddened ladybugs have eaten people to death. Single, extremely rare. Therefore, there is no need to exterminate insectivorous ladybugs, especially since the most useful 7-pointed ones rage much less often than others

What is the difference?

The full composition of pesticides for spraying treatment includes, in addition to the active ingredients, adhesives (surfactants, surfactants), ballast additives, which to some extent regulate the translaminar and biological activity of the drug (its ability to penetrate plant tissues and effectiveness on objects to be eliminated), and a solvent . The solvent also plays a certain role in the properties and activity of the drug.

While manufacturers willingly disclose the composition and concentration of additives to everyone, branded surfactants, ballast and solvent are a taboo and a sealed secret, known only to the leading specialists of the developer company, especially since there is practically no information on the dangers and toxicological properties of the finished drug surfactant and ballast. influence. But they largely determine the scope of application of the product and the features of its use. Corado's solvent is certainly different from that of other pesticides with neonicotinoids: a pungent odor of some organic volatile liquid spreads from the opened package of the drug.

In terms of general indicators, Corado is the same as its analogues (not complete) at 20% imidacloprid:

• It has high translaminar activity - it is completely absorbed into the plant tissue in 2-3 hours;
• The protective effect is high - correct application (see below) ensures 100% destruction of a pest population of any volume and density at any phase of its development;
• The drug is not phytotoxic;
• Effective against pests resistant to pesticides based on other chemicals;
• Resistance of elimination objects to imidacloprid itself has not been recorded;
• The effectiveness of the drug is practically independent of the weather (imidacloprid is neither photolytic nor hydrolytic);
• Temperature range of effectiveness of the drug is +(12-25) degrees Celsius;
• The degree of danger of imidacloprid for humans and warm-blooded animals is 3 (moderately dangerous substance), but chronic poisoning with microdoses of DV produces long-term negative after-effects, incl. mutagenic and teratogenic (on fetal development in pregnant women);
• In the external environment, imidacloprid persists for a long time (half-life in soil up to 8 months);
• The degree of danger of the drug for bees and aquatic organisms is 1st (extremely dangerous substance).

Note: the craze for such seemingly convenient neonicotinoids has led in a number of countries around the world (the list of which is ever expanding) to the extinction of domestic bees and beneficial wild insects - pollinators and entomophages. This threatens an environmental disaster on a planetary scale. Currently in the EU and some. In other countries, the use of pesticides with neonicotinoids on open ground crops is prohibited.

At the same time, the effect of the drug Corado is noticeably different from agrochemicals for a similar purpose:

1. The speed of action is below average - the pests stop feeding within 2-3 hours and die within 2-3 days (apparently, the manufacturer has developed a surfactant that regulates the translaminar activity of the drug);
2. For the same alleged reason, the protective effect of Corado is longer, up to 20 days;
3. As a consequence of paragraphs. 1 and 2, the effect of the drug on the imago (adult individuals) of the Colorado potato beetle is weakened - the beetles have time to migrate before dying;
4. Some ovicidal activity of the drug was noted: a decrease in the volume of oviposition of pests, anomalies in the development of eggs and a decrease in the percentage of larvae hatching from them;
5. The dosage and consumption rates of the drug are even less than those of others at 20% imidacloprid. This reduces the cost of one treatment, but in no case gives a reason to neglect precautions, see below;
6. Corado in tank mixtures is incompatible with other agrochemicals. However, in private household plots treatment with mixtures is almost never carried out;
7. In certain dosages (see below), Corado exhibits fungicidal activity.

Note: the acaricidal activity of neonicotinoids is a myth, most likely generated by “network hamsters” and “sofa barmalogs”. Harmful mites have a significantly different metabolism than insects. After the use of neonicotinoids, a decrease in the number of predatory mites, pest exterminators, was noted on plants. But in laboratory conditions, the LD50 doses for them turn out to be several times and orders of magnitude higher than for insects. But in natural conditions - well, where do the predators have to go, since, excuse me, all the food has died?

Is it possible to spray potatoes during flowering?

The instructions state that the Corado insecticide is not recommended for use during the flowering period of plants.

Important. If you didn’t have time to spray for beetles before flowering, but flowering has already begun, you need to use folk remedies.

Bees pollinate plants, and potato flowers also “lure” these beneficial insects. Corado can be toxic to bees. During the flowering period, potatoes have a weak protective ability against pesticides.

Attention! The drug must be diluted in a non-residential area.

Drug toxicity class and precautions

This product is allowed to be used on private farms. Hazard class of the Corado insecticide for humans – 3, for bees and inhabitants of water bodies – 1

.

Therefore, the product cannot be used during the flowering period of cultivated plants and the mass flight of bees, as well as in the water protection zone of reservoirs.

During processing, care must be taken to ensure that the solution does not fall on neighboring crops. Also, do not spray against the wind.

Important!

To prepare the solution, do not use containers intended for storing food.

Spraying is carried out in the absence of children and animals. From the moment you prepare the working solution until the end of the work, you must wear a suit, rubber gloves and a respirator.

During treatments, it is prohibited to eat, drink and smoke. After finishing work, you need to take a shower and wash your face and hands with soap.

You can go to the site only three days after the treatment.

Work regulations

The procedure for preparing the working solution (s.r.) is to open the ampoule/vial, dissolve the concentrate in a small amount of water, mix thoroughly and add water to the required volume (see table).

Treatment is carried out by spraying with r.r. using a garden sprayer in the morning or evening hours before sunset, in calm weather. When applying the drug to the vegetative parts of the plant, you should ensure that the leaf plate is evenly wetted on both sides. And although the manufacturer claims that the drug is not washed off by rain, it is still recommended to carry out treatment 4-6 hours before rain to ensure maximum impact of the drug.

The Corado instructions define a high rate of impact on insects - within 1 hour after treatment.

Treatment of potatoes and eggplant against the Colorado potato beetle

Treatment of potatoes against the Colorado potato beetle with the insecticide "Corado"

Treatment of potato plantings against the Colorado potato beetle and its larvae is carried out when they appear en masse. The period of protective action against the beetle and its larvae is at least 14 days. The number of treatments is no more than 2.

Treatment of apple trees, currants, gooseberries from aphids, etc.

When fruit and berry bushes or trees are infected by aphids and other pests, repeated treatment up to 3-4 times is allowed, although usually double treatment is sufficient. The waiting period before harvesting should be at least 20 days.

In a separate material on the website, insecticidal agents for aphids - a comparative analysis of the 10 best drugs.

Treatment of vegetable crops against carrot and onion flies

The regulations establish two stages for processing carrots - the first spraying during the first emergence of flies, in the phase of 2-4 leaves, and the second spraying 20 days later.

For onions, two sprays are also carried out. The first treatment is spraying the sets before planting, the second treatment is in the phase of 3-4 onion feathers. It is prohibited to use the drug to treat onions grown for harvest.

Treatment with Corado insecticide against onion and carrot flies

Instructions for using the drug against the Colorado potato beetle

It makes more sense to use the product only when there is a real danger to the crop. It carries environmental risks and is not suitable for thoughtless prevention.

Storage conditions

Use within three years from the date of manufacture.

Store in a room where it is no colder than -5 degrees and no higher than +25. Do not allow fire, do not burn.

Objects of influence

The chemical causes paralysis of the nervous system of insects.

The Colorado potato beetle and its larvae die from direct contact with the pesticide (contact effect), as well as from eating foliage (intestinal poisoning). Oviposition is not affected, but hatched larvae also die from poison in the food (greens remain poisonous for almost a month after treatment).

The 28-spotted potato ladybug is a dangerous beetle that destroys potato tops in Primorye and Sakhalin. The fight against it is similar to the measures taken against the Colorado potato beetle.

Aphids on the apple tree are destroyed at any stage of the growing season. It is advisable to capture it during the initial period of resettlement.

Processing times

• The treatment is carried out once, when pests are first detected on plants.
• Avoid windy weather.
• It should be at least 4 hours before it rains. Then the chemical will penetrate inside the plants, and precipitation will no longer weaken its effect.
• Choose the evening (after 18 o’clock), or at least the morning (before 10 o’clock). This way there is less exposure to the sun and it is safer for the bees.
• Temperature does not play a big role (the optimal range is wide: from +10 to + 26).

Application technology

The pesticide is applied by spraying. The spray should be fine (a broom is not suitable).

1. The ampoule (bottle) contains a liquid concentrate, which is diluted with water - first in a small amount, then brought to the required volume. Prepare the solution before use and do not store it for a long time.
2. Recommended dosage: 1 ml of concentrate per 4 liters of water.
3. There is no need to soak the plantings abundantly. Surface spraying with a consumption of 4 liters of solution per 1 hundred square meters is sufficient. If at least a third of the plant is processed, the tissues will have the required concentration.
4. Corado can be mixed with fungicides (for plant diseases), except for copper-containing preparations.

Impact

In the very first hours, insects almost cease to live. Complete death occurs after 2-3 days, maximum after 5. Protection from emerging larvae and newly arriving individuals lasts at least two weeks, up to a month.

Spraying potatoes against the Colorado potato beetle

Precautionary measures

1. Usually the drug does not irritate the skin, mucous membranes of the eyes and mouth, but it is better to protect yourself with standard protective clothing.
2. All work must be carried out in the absence of children and pets.
3. Do not spray flower plants visited by pollinating insects.
4. Do not allow splashes to come into contact with other plantings, especially green crops. They quickly penetrate inside the plants and cannot be washed off with water. Heat treatment (cooking, frying) will not help either. The pesticide is destroyed only over time: in the plant after a month, in the soil after almost a year.
5. Corado is destructive to aquatic life. Do not spray near water bodies, much less send the remaining solution into them. They are poured into a hole and covered with earth.
6. It is allowed to enter the treated plantation three days after treatment. After 10 days, the concentration of poison in the leaves and tubers decreases. The foliage will be poisonous to insects for another 10-20 days.
7. Imidacloprid has a 3rd (medium) hazard class for humans, mammals, and birds. (Accidental) consumption of concentrate and freshly processed greens should be avoided. Symptoms of poisoning: breathing problems, trembling limbs, lethargy; in this case, urgent medical attention is required, otherwise the liver may be damaged. Long-term dietary exposure to small doses can disrupt the endocrine system.

Corado is very effective in the fight against the Colorado potato beetle. It acts quickly, is not addictive, and reliably protects the plantings for another month. The pesticide is used strictly when necessary, with strict adherence to all safety rules.

Efficiency

Reviews about Corado are mostly positive if the product is used correctly. Allowed to be used in summer cottages and fields.

We have been processing Corado potatoes for three years now. The result is wonderful. Our neighbor poisons pests several times a season, we only do it once, a few weeks before the potatoes bloom. It kills Colorado potato beetles instantly and protects for a long time. We collect a wonderful harvest without much effort.

Anna, Moscow

Corado is one of the best remedies. We have a large potato garden; we don’t really want to process it several times a season. This poison always helps. We sprayed the plant once and forgot about beetles and other pests. It is economically used, affordable, there have never been any side effects. It’s easy to use – dilute the insecticide in water and pour it into a spray bottle.

Anton, Voronezh

You can buy an effective remedy for the Colorado potato beetle in a specialized store, at the market, in the hardware departments of supermarkets, or order on websites via the Internet. The price of Corado pleasantly surprises everyone. You can buy a bottle with a capacity of 10 ml for 55 rubles. Should be stored in a dark place, away from sunlight. Must be used within 3 years from date of manufacture.

Corado: reviews of use

Anya, 44 years old, Belgorod region I plant potatoes and tomatoes in my garden every year, and every year throughout the entire season I fight the Colorado potato beetle almost unsuccessfully. And last year I tried the Corado insecticide. The product comes with clear instructions, with which I diluted the working solution and carried out the treatment. The beetle larvae all fell off at once. In 20 days I will carry out another preventive treatment.

Oleg, 50 years old, Rostov region I purchased this drug from my own hands and treated rose bushes against aphids and midges. However, the result was practically zero. I looked on the Internet and it turned out that the drug I purchased was counterfeit. I had to go to a specialized store to get the product. And there I bought a real Corado insecticide, which in one spray dealt with all the pests on the bushes of the queen of flowers.

Natalya, 40 years old, Moscow region Treated onion plantings with this drug against onion flies. First, I sprayed the seedlings with Corado solution before planting, and when the plants had three leaves, I sprayed them as well. As a result, there were no onion flies in my garden this season. One thing you need to know: onions are not treated with such a chemical, as it accumulates in the greens and can cause poisoning in humans.

Many gardeners and vegetable growers note the high effectiveness of the Corado insecticide in the fight against the Colorado potato beetle, aphids, carrot and onion flies

. It is important that harmful insects do not develop resistance against this drug, so it can be used to treat the area for three seasons in a row.

If some of the solution has been spilled on your trousers or jacket, the clothes must be removed as quickly as possible, without dismissing the fact that “it will dry anyway.” Prolonged contact of the insecticide with the skin is hazardous to health.

Contact of the drug with the eyes or mouth may cause poisoning. Under no circumstances should you process against the wind. It is better to hold the spray bottle at arm's length from your face. If Corado does end up in the oral cavity, you should immediately stop processing and rinse your mouth several times. Then you will need to drink 3-4 glasses of warm water and induce a vomiting reaction. After completing the procedure, drink activated charcoal and rest. If it gets on your eyes, you should rinse them for 10-15 minutes, trying to make yourself cry.

When making a solution or processing, the presence of children, animals, and pregnant women is unacceptable. If pets walk uncontrollably around a dacha or country house where insects have been exterminated, it is better to limit pets’ access to the garden for several days. It is also worth making sure that they do not eat poisoned insects. Despite the fact that the dose of poison contained in the body of beetles is extremely small, the animal can suffer if it eats them for pleasure.

The price of the drug in stores is approximately this:

• 1 ml – 10-15 rubles;
• 10 ml. – 100-150 rub.

Analogues of the drug

Corado has many analogues that contain imidacloprid; they are also effective when used against garden pests. Golden Spark with imidacloprid in its composition is considered a good remedy for combating the Colorado potato beetle. It enters through the contact-intestinal route, affects the nervous system of pests, causes convulsions, then leads to paralysis and death of larvae and beetles.

The result from the toxic substance of the poison is observed already 2-3 days after treatment. It is characterized by high functionality both in the heat and after rain. Imidor. After treatment, the active substance of the drug reaches pests through the leaves, paralyzes the nervous system, and as a result, the beetle larvae stop eating crop plants and die. It is used not only against the Colorado potato beetle, but also against whiteflies and thrips.

Commander. Another analogue of Corado with the active ingredient imidacloprid. Strong organic poison with a concentration of 200 g per 1 liter. Characterized by efficiency at different temperature conditions. It acts quickly on insects after treating plants, penetrating through their leaves, stems, and into the root system. Tanrek. In addition to Colorado potato beetles, it is used against ground beetles, locusts, aphids, leafhoppers, and whiteflies. UV resistant and not washed off by dew or rain.

Attention. These pesticides are interchangeable, but Corado has a wider spectrum of action.

Description of the drug

Colorado stands out sharply against the background of a variety of drugs with similar effects. It contains the neonicotinoid poison imidacloprid, which can completely destroy the pest beetle.

The additional component is a complex of substances obtained from a special type of mushroom that has a neurotoxic effect.

Fact. Colorado not only kills the beetle, but also spider mites, potato borers and many other insect pests.

Advantages and disadvantages

An undoubted advantage is that pests do not become accustomed to the components of the product. This means that Colorado will always be effective in controlling insects on potatoes. But you shouldn’t use it more than 3 times per season. The effect of the poisonous solution begins immediately upon contact of the solution with pests.

In a matter of hours, both adults and their larvae are destroyed. The beetles die in convulsions after the drug enters their body, and the poison attacks the larvae through the skin, paralyzes them and they die due to the inability to receive food. For about a month after treatment, you can forget about beetles and larvae.

Important. Many gardeners get scared when they see a huge number of pests on their potato plantings on the second or third day after spraying.

This is rare, but is considered normal.

According to the instructions, the effect of the drug lasts from 2 hours to 5 days. Under no circumstances should you duplicate processing.

The advantages include the affordable price. Colorado is sold packaged in ampoules in granular form or as a solution. 1 ml costs approximately 8 rubles. Considering that it is enough to process 10 acres, it turns out to be very affordable financially.

But there are also disadvantages. The most important thing is the high toxicity of Colorado. It belongs to the 3rd level of danger for humans, so it must be used exclusively in protective clothing and under no circumstances should it be inhaled. During work, poultry and animals must be kept away, and if there are hives with bees nearby, then treatment is prohibited. This can lead to the complete death of the apiary. The drug has no other disadvantages.

How it works

The effectiveness of Colorado is due to its triple action:

• contact;
• systemic;
• intestinal.

That is, it destroys pests by getting inside their body, upon contact with the skin, as well as when used systemically, accumulating and protecting plantings from further damage.

Once on plants, Colorado Systemic Insecticide spreads very quickly. When it enters the insect's body, it blocks the nervous system. The beetles stop moving and die.

Colorado has a slightly oily structure, which helps it stay on the bushes longer, not be washed off in the rain and not evaporate in the sun. Therefore, after treatment there is no need to worry about weather conditions. The effectiveness of the drug can only be reduced by a torrential downpour that began an hour after spraying.

The best chemical insecticides against the Colorado potato beetle

Domestic and foreign manufacturers produce dozens of products designed to combat dangerous pests.

Preparations for treating tubers

They have a limited period of validity, so after potato seedlings emerge, they will require repeated treatment (with a different insecticide).

How else to poison the pest? Good reviews from gardeners about Confidor Extra and Grinda powder. A ready-made solution of Biotlin Bau is produced in spray bottles, which is immediately used for spraying.

Hormonal insecticidal drugs

New products help kill insects - hormonal-type insecticides that paralyze beetles and disrupt stages of their life cycle. Refers to contact drugs. Impact:

• block the process of chitin formation in larvae, which causes the death of the insect;
• death of the pest during the transition from one stage to another.

The drugs Match, Rimon, Sonet inhibit the synthesis of chitin. Causes sterility of beetles, inability to fertilize, and also disrupts the process of pupation of larvae with the insecticide-hormone Nomolt.

Efficiency and analogues

In some cases, purchasing Corado is impossible (for example, there are simply no ampoules in the store or you have already treated the beds with it for 3 years in a row). In this case, you will have to use one of the analogues.

16 effective chemical remedies for the Colorado potato beetle

Prestige, KS

A drug with two active substances: the already familiar imidacloprid and pencycuron, which provides protection against fungi. Like Corado, it is dangerous for honey insects. Processing occurs before planting.

Read more about how to properly use the “Prestige” product against the Colorado potato beetle in the article here.

Aktara

A product that is effective not only against the Colorado potato beetle, but almost all types of lepidoptera. The active substance is thiamethoxam.

Fitoverm

The advantage of this drug is the possibility of its use immediately before harvesting (but not less than 3 days after treatment). The active ingredient is Aversectin S.

Composition and principle of action

The active ingredient is imidacloprid (200 g/l), which belongs to the chemical class of neonicotinoids. The main property of this class of organic compounds is a high danger for insects, but minimal for mammals. They have low volatility and are almost not susceptible to the negative effects of sunlight and water.

After applying to potatoes, the insecticide quickly gets inside. This not only creates a protective effect, but also naturally stimulates the growth of the crop. When the insect begins lunch, a microdose of imidacloprid will immediately enter its body, sufficient to limit the beetle's mobility and appetite. A paralyzed pest will die in 2-3 days.

Note! The drug is lethal to honey insects. Not recommended for use in the presence of an apiary.

Reviews from gardeners about the drug

Gardeners note the high effectiveness of the drug Corado.

Irina. From year to year, like many farmers, I have one problem: how to get rid of the Colorado potato beetle on potatoes. I tried a lot of different folk remedies and popular drugs, but it didn’t help. There were fewer pests, but they did not disappear completely. I accidentally saw an advertisement for Corado and decided that since nothing was helping, it couldn’t get any worse. Corado insecticide helped me a lot. Colorado potato beetles disappeared from the garden instantly, after one treatment. Now I will always use it.

Andrey. I purchased a summer cottage quite recently, planted potatoes for the first time - and it began. There was no escape from the Colorado potato beetle. I am against insecticides and any “chemistry” in general, but there is nothing to be done. Friends advised me to buy Corado. Excellent tool! Not only did the pests completely disappear from the beds, but the harvest turned out to be enviable. I recommend.

Mode of application

Before you start working with the drug, you need to protect yourself . How to do it:

• wear safety glasses, special clothing and rubber gloves to completely avoid the poison getting on your body;
• Do not under any circumstances use food containers to prepare the solution;
• During the process of processing plants, it is forbidden to eat anything, smoke, drink liquid , as microparticles of poison can enter your body.

You can work with the drug in any weather conditions, since it is not afraid of high temperatures, and it is not washed off by rain. Corado must be applied to each bush , not missing either stems or leaves.

Reviews

Oksana, Vologda A friend told me about Corado when I was visiting her in Krasnoyarsk. To be honest, I was simply tormented by Colorado potato beetles in my summer cottage. I tried everything: poisoned it with tobacco, and collected it by hand. I’m ashamed to say, but I even went to our witch, Baba Zina. She gave out a slander, which, of course, did not help. But Corado coped with his task with a bang! Finally, I can calmly plant potatoes, knowing that no one will spoil them.

Oleg Petrovich, Kazminskoye Korado village I have been using it for three years, and now I’m just looking for a replacement product. During the entire period of use of this drug, I did not notice any beetles, although previously they caused a lot of concern. Before that, I used other means, the names of which, of course, I don’t remember anymore (that was 5 years ago), but they did not have such an effect, but Corado helped out well.

Natasha, St. Petersburg Recently, my friends and I finally moved to an eco-village near St. Petersburg, where we grow all the necessary vegetables and fruits ourselves. We treat potatoes with Corado, which my grandmother recommended to me. Honestly, I can’t say how effective it is, since we are using it for the first time, but a woman from a nearby store, having learned that we didn’t have beetles, asked the name and even wrote it down. She said that she is using another remedy, with zero results so far.
