The Borey insecticide is an effective product that protects crops from sucking and chewing pests. Containing two powerful components, it is highly effective and effectively controls a wide range of pests. To ensure the desired results, it is important to strictly follow the instructions for use.
Active ingredient and dosage form
Borey is considered a combination product with two distinct mechanisms of action. It is an effective product that helps control a wide range of pests in cereals, rapeseed, pastures, and sugar beets. It can be combined with a wide range of pesticides and other chemicals.
The effectiveness of the Borey insecticide is due to the action of two active ingredients. One liter of the substance contains the following components:
- 150 grams of imidocloprid. This substance has a systemic effect. It penetrates the root system, stems, and foliage of plants. This component provides long-lasting protection against parasites.
- 50 grams of lambda-cyhalothrin. This component forms a protective layer on the outside. It acts immediately, paralyzing the respiratory and motor functions of parasites. Their death occurs within 24 hours of treatment.
The product is available as a concentrated suspension. It is sold in 1-liter bottles and 5-liter canisters.
What is it used for?
The insecticide helps to get rid of the main pests on the following crops:
- Cereals – the preparation helps to destroy aphids, grain fleas, and thrips.
- Rapeseed – the insecticide is effective against rapeseed sawfly, cruciferous flea beetles, and rapeseed blossom beetle.
- Sugar beet – the composition helps get rid of weevils, meadow moths, and beet flea beetles.
- Pea – the product successfully destroys pea weevils, codling moths, and aphids.
- Tomatoes and potatoes – the substance helps get rid of cabbage moths, aphids, and cruciferous flea beetles.
- Carrot – this product is effective against carrot flies and leafhoppers.
This is far from a complete list of pests that Borey helps control. This product has an important advantage. Thanks to its systemic activity, it attacks pests that lead a hidden lifestyle, particularly stem sawflies. It also helps kill phytophages that live on the undersides of leaves.
Operating principle
The product helps suppress nerve impulse transmission through the pests' central nervous system. The active ingredient begins to work immediately after the pest comes into contact with the product.
The compound can come into contact with the parasites' chitinous covering or enter their body as they feed on treated crops. The compound helps destroy both adult pests and larvae at various stages of development. One application is sufficient to eliminate a colony of pests. One to two treatments are required per season.
The main advantages of the substance include the following:
- an unusual combination of two active components that differ in their mechanism of action;
- high speed of action and long-lasting protective effect;
- triple action – the drug has intestinal, contact and systemic effects;
- destruction of pests that lead a hidden lifestyle or live on the underside of leaves;
- resistance to prolonged exposure to intense sunlight and high temperatures.
