Instructions for use of Corado against the Colorado potato beetle

The main challenge of the gardening season is protecting plants from pests. Folk remedies aren't always effective in protecting crops from insects, forcing the use of strong pesticides. Today, when growing potatoes in their plots, gardeners get rid of pests with Corado, simply following the instructions for use of the product for eliminating Colorado potato beetles. Despite its affordable price, the product is effective, fast-acting, and economical to use.

Description, composition and release form of the drug Corado

Corado is an insecticide against insect pests, a highly concentrated solution with an unpleasant, distinctive odor. This insecticide is based on imidacloprid, a chemical found in most plant protection products.

Available in 1 and 5 ml glass ampoules or 10 and 25 ml bottles. This packaging offers flexibility for gardeners, allowing them to choose the appropriate volume depending on the area to be treated. The ampoules come with instructions for use, which specify the correct solution ratio and the amount to dilute.

The principle of action of the product

The active ingredient, amidacloprid, in Corado is a nerve poison with specific properties. After penetrating the plant's sap, the poison is absorbed and moves through the blood vessels, distributing throughout the plant. The active substance's destructive action blocks the transmission of impulses from the central nervous system to muscle cells.

The poisoning causes involuntary contractions of the muscles, which gradually become spasmodic and then completely paralyzed, resulting in the death of the larvae that eat the plant leaves.

The drug is characterized by its long-lasting action; its protective properties remain for a long time after spraying.

Note! A distinctive property of imidacloprid-based pesticides is that pests do not develop tolerance to this poison.

Advantages of Corado

This insect pest control product is relatively new, but users have appreciated its benefits.

The pesticide is different:

• Economy and low cost, which is important for buyers.
• Fast action, convenient packaging.
• Ease of use.
• Can be used for many types of pests.

All these advantages distinguish the drug from other insecticides.

How to prepare the solution correctly

To prepare a working solution of Corado, you must first carefully read the instructions - the dosage leaflet - before proceeding.

1. The ideal container for diluting with Corado is a clean bucket with volume markings up to 5 l.
2. Pour about 1.5 liters of water into a bucket.
3. Pour 1 ml of the liquid preparation into it by breaking the ampoule.
4. Shake the liquid carefully.
5. Bring the volume of water to 5 liters.
6. Mix again carefully.

This amount of solution can be used to treat an area of ​​100 square meters of potato plot. If you suspect a high number of larvae and beetles, make a more concentrated solution using 3-5 ml of the product per 10 liters of water.

Note: When diluting, use warm water to ensure the concentrate dissolves completely.

Instructions for use

When carrying out protective measures against pests, all actions must be carried out according to the instructions:

1. Spraying should be done in the morning before 9-10 a.m. or in the evening after sunset. Choose dry, windless weather.
2. The air temperature should be between 10 and 25 degrees Celsius.
3. The leaves of the plants must be evenly moistened, and the poison must be protected from dripping onto nearby cultivated plants.

Important! Monitor the weather before treatment. Rain can reduce the toxicity of the product.

Precautions for use

Corado is classified as a Class 3 insecticide, so don't assume it's harmless. While the insecticide does cause minor harm, it does exist. Therefore, it's important to know the precautions:

• When spraying, wear protective clothing.
• When preparing the solution, the insecticide must be poured in while keeping it away from the face.
• The solution must be diluted in a special container.
• While treating the poisoned area, it is not recommended to eat, drink or smoke.
• If poison gets on your skin, wipe it off with a cotton pad and rinse for several minutes under running water, then wash with soap.
• If you take precautions, Corado will not cause any harm to the body.

Is it possible to spray potatoes during flowering?

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

Important: If you didn't manage to spray against beetles before flowering, and flowering has already begun, you should use folk remedies.

Bees pollinate plants, and potato flowers also attract these beneficial insects. Corado can be toxic to bees. During flowering, potatoes have a weak defense against pesticides.

Caution! The preparation must be diluted in a non-residential area.

The effectiveness of the product

The active ingredient (imidacloprid) is lethal to parasites and pests, exerting a neuroparalytic effect. After just 1-1.5 days, they stop gnawing at the plant, and a slowdown in the motility of the beetle larvae can be observed. Two to three days after treatment, the potatoes will no longer be susceptible to attack by Colorado potato beetles.

Corado completely destroys pests, from eggs and larvae to adult parasites. And as advertised on the packaging, there will be no surviving beetles.
