Remedy for the Colorado potato beetle Sonnet

The fight against the Colorado potato beetle has been waged by man for many years. However, the action is not all chemicals satisfies gardeners. Some are faced with the fact that a previously tested tool suddenly ceases to be effective. This fact is explained by the fact that the agricultural pest has a high ability to get used to insecticidal components. As a result, the born offspring no longer reacts so strongly to toxic substances. There is only one way out of this situation - the use of drugs with a completely new mechanism of action, which is the Sonnet from the Colorado potato beetle.

Features of the drug

Sonnet is a concentrated emulsion based on hexaflumuron. The substance affects the chitin cover of pests, contributing to its destruction even at the developmental stage. Moreover, contact with this composition leads to the death of not only adults, but also larvae, and even eggs.

On a note!

Penetration of the Sonnet into the body of a sexually mature insect deprives an individual of the opportunity to have full-fledged offspring. In other words, the beetle that has eaten the processed potato leaves loses its chitinous cover within 3-5 days. Being in a state of "soft body" colorades are no longer able to reproduce.
