Among gardeners,fashion for plant protection without chemistryOur environmental awareness and education are followed by producers of protective and care preparations for plants. In gardening stores we can find an ever richer selectionnatural means for spraying plants against pests
These are mainlypreparations with contact action, for intervention after noticing pests on the plantAmong these types of agents it is worth mentioning Emulpar 940 EC, based on blackberry oil, Multi Insekt, based on rapeseed oil, Insekt Control, containing a mixture of silicone compounds and the natural Agrocover preparation, which contains polysaccharides. All these preparations work in a similar way -after spraying, they form a coating on the plant, making it difficult for pests to breathe or move , as a result of which the insects die.They can be used throughout the growing season. They allowto fight the most common pests of plants , such as: aphids, spider mites, mealybugs, cups, scales, thrips and whiteflies. Regarding Agricolle, it is also worth mentioning thatalso reduces the development ofdiseases such as gray mold and mildew, so it combines the features of an insecticide and a fungicide.
Among the above-mentioned natural preparations, Emulpar 940 ECstands out, which can also be used preventively - in the early spring and early spring, in order to destroy eggs and other forms of winter pests. This allowsto destroy pests hibernating on plants before they start foragingPromanal 60 EC, based on paraffin oil, has a similar effect. However, it is intended only for early spring spraying on wintering forms of pests and therefore I have not included it in our list (I focused on universal agents that can be used throughout the growing season). Preventive early spring sprayingis worth doing, however, because bees do not fly during this period and there is no risk of harming them.
When comparing the above-mentioned natural pests , it is worth paying attention to theiravailability in the form of concentrates(they allow to prepare a large amount of liquid for spraying with the help of sprayer, which will come in handy in larger gardens) andready to use in the form of a spray or aerosol(no need to prepare a mixture and you do not need your own sprayer, ideal for small crops on balconies or in apartments).
Among the natural remedies for pests there are alsopreparations that act not only in contact, but also in the stomach, and act deeply on the plant. This means they can penetrate plant tissues and then enter the digestive tracts of sap-sucking or plant-gnawing pests. This mechanismsignificantly increases the effectiveness of the preparation and extends the duration of its action The SUBSTRAL Floris AE preparations have such a broader effect (unfortunately, according to the instructions for use, it is intended only for controlling pests on roses) and Spintor 240 EC. The latteris the only natural remedy for pestsallows you to fight the Colorado potato beetle, leaf rollers and butterfly caterpillars that gnaw leaves.
"At this point I have to add myremark regarding SUBSTRAL Floris AEIn Substral&39;s offer it is in the Naturen line containing preparations of natural origin and, according to the label, contains compounds from the group of natural pyrethrins. Although these substances are of natural origin, we must remember that they are poisonous and toxic. Therefore, this preparation can be used no more than twice a season, with an interval of at least 7 days. We only use it in gardens. While the convenient spray may be tempting for other applications, SUBSTRAL Floris AE must not be used in residential premises!
