Laser 1 l

240 g/l liquid insecticide [SC] containing the active substance spinozad

Insecticide of the 21st century against caterpillars, thrips, pear leafroller and potato cyst nematode larvae
Household dose: 2-10 ml/10 litres of water

MECHANISM OF ACTION
Laser has a specific mode of action and acts at a different site than other insecticides. It affects the Na+ and Cl- turnover of the cell membrane, thus blocking the transmission of excitatory signals in the nervous system.

PROPOSED CROP PROTECTION TECHNOLOGY:

In grapes, control of grapevine vine weevils should be initiated after sex pheromone trap swarming observation at the onset of larval emergence and spraying should be repeated every 7-14 days depending on the intensity of swarming.

In brassica, the timing of the control of the larvae of white moths (cabbage moth, turnip moth) and owl moths (cabbage moth, lettuce moth) is of crucial importance. The first spraying should be carried out against caterpillars at developmental stages L1-L2. It is recommended to repeat the treatment 1-2 times every 7-14 days. For the control of cabbage head blight larvae, use a dose of Reldan 40 EC 1,5 l/ha, which is an excellent fumigant.

For control of thrips in field peppers, the product should be applied on the basis of blue, white or yellow sticky leaf observation at the time of thrips establishment in the field, at the beginning of emergence.

In potatoes, spraying should be timed to coincide with the mass emergence of L1 to L2 stage larvae. It is recommended to repeat the treatment 1-2 times every 7-14 days depending on the intensity of emergence.

In sprouted peppers and ornamentals, control of western flower thrips should be initiated at the onset of establishment or emergence based on blue or yellow sticky leaf observation and repeated 2-3 times at 5-7 day intervals.

The first spraying in bush peppers and tomatoes against the cotton aphid should be timed for young caterpillars (L1-L2 developmental stages). The frequency of treatments should be chosen according to the average daily temperature of the growing equipment. It is recommended to apply every 7 days below 25°C and every 5 days above 25°C.

In onions, spring onions and leeks, applications can be timed appropriately by regular plant-by-plant monitoring for thrips imago and larvae and by counting the number of individuals using yellow or blue water traps. Thrips establishment starts in April. The first spray should be applied at the beginning of the establishment period.

A wetting agent and 400 to 500 l/ha water should be used for the application of the product.

Moth pests of apples, pears, quince, naspolya should be controlled by spraying at the time of mass moth infestation, adapted to pheromone trap swarming observation. The control should be repeated every 7-14 days depending on the intensity of the swarming.

In pears, treatment should be based on forecasting the emergence of young larvae of pear leafhoppers.

PRACTICAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE

In field crops, to avoid development of resistance, it is recommended to use the product not more than 3 times per year.

In rotational crops, it is recommended to use a product of a different active substance group after the 3rd application to avoid the development of resistance. The product may be used up to 3 times per crop cycle. As the preparation inhibits the larval feeding of quail wasps by its toxic effect, the use of the parasitoid min. 1 week after treatment. The bumblebee hives should be closed 1,5-2 hours before treatment and kept closed until the spray drops have dried.

The amount of spray to be applied should be chosen according to the development, canopy area and cultivation method of the crop to be treated and the type of crop protection machinery used, and should aim at achieving perfect spray coverage. In cabbage and peppers, the use of an adhesion promoter is recommended for application. In ornamentals, a phytotoxicity test should be carried out prior to treatment.

A fogging agent should not be used for the application of the preparation.
