Instructions for use of Teppeki are supplied with the drug. It must be studied before use. The insecticide is a new product, different from its predecessors. It effectively destroys thrips, whiteflies, and other pests without causing discomfort to the plant.
Description of the drug Teppeki
The market is filled with drugs of various effects for pest control. However, not all of them are safe. Chemicals not only destroy the insects themselves, but also cause harm to the plant and the environment.
Teppeki is safe for humans and the environment
Recently, new, completely safe insecticides have begun to appear. These include the insect control drug Teppeki.The insecticide has a systemic effect. It destroys only pests, does not pollute the environment, and is safe for plants.
Composition of Teppeki insecticide
In its pure form, the drug has a high concentration. The main active ingredient in Teppeka is flonicamid. Its content in the insecticide is at least 500 g/1 kg. However, flonicamid is safe for the environment, since a small amount of it is present in the diluted form of the drug.
Release forms
The production of the drug is established in Poland. Release form: water-dispersible granules. Teppeki is supplied to stores packaged in plastic containers of 0.25, 0.5 or 1 kg. Sometimes it is packaged in a different weight or single dose. The granules are difficult to dissolve in water; this must be done with thorough mixing immediately before using the insecticide.
What pests does Teppeki help with?
The drug effectively helps fight pests, but it has a different effect on each type of insect. The instructions for use of the Teppeki insecticide indicate that the active substance is capable of completely destroying aphids, whiteflies, all types of mites, as well as thrips. However, the drug has a different effect on pests such as thyme, psyllids, kacidas and cicadas. The insecticide does not completely exterminate insects. It helps control their number. The effect of Teppeka is noticeable half an hour after treatment.
How to use Teppeki
The rules of use are not limited only to dosage. It is important to know how to breed granules, the features of use to combat each type of pest.It is necessary to study the safety rules when working with it and other nuances in the instructions for the Teppeki insecticide.
Before using an insecticide, it is important to read the instructions
How to breed Teppeki
Insecticide granules are dissolved in water immediately before treatment. All work is carried out outdoors. First, Teppeki is dissolved in a small amount of water. A liquid concentrate is obtained, after which it is adjusted to the required volume according to the recommended standards.
Plants are sprayed early in the morning or in the evening at sunset. At the end of the work, the remaining product is disposed of, and the sprayer is washed with clean water.
Teppeki consumption rates
To obtain an effective solution that 100% destroys the pest, it is important to follow the standards. Insects can be destroyed by 1 g of Teppeki. This unit is taken as a basis. The amount of water depends on what crops are going to be processed. For example, 1 g of granules is dissolved as follows:
- potatoes - up to 3 liters of water;
- flower crops - from 4 to 8 liters of water;
- apple tree – up to 7 liters of water;
- winter wheat – up to 4 liters of water.
The consumption rates of the finished solution will depend on how the sprayer is configured.
Processing times
The insecticide is used with the onset of spring, when the first pest larvae appear. The duration of treatments lasts until the end of the growing season. However, a maximum of three sprays are allowed per season. The minimum interval between them is 7 days. It is allowed to use during flowering or fruiting of crops. However, at the time of harvesting, the active substance of Teppeki must be neutralized. The duration of the protective properties of the insecticide is 30 days.Based on simple calculations, crop processing is done a month before harvesting.
Instructions for use Teppeki from insects
To treat plants, prepare a sprayer and personal protective equipment. A separate plastic container will be required. It is convenient to prepare a working solution in it. Teppeki granules are difficult to dissolve. First, they are filled with a small amount of water. The granules soften. Constant stirring ensures complete dissolution.
It is best to process plants early in the morning or late in the evening.
The required amount of water is added to the concentrated solution. Stirring is continued until complete dissolution. Particles of solids in small quantities will settle at the bottom. To prevent them from clogging the sprayer nozzle, the solution is poured into the tank after filtering.
The entire freshly prepared solution is used. If there is an error in calculating the volume, the remaining surplus is disposed of. At the end of the work, the sprayer is washed and dried.
Teppeki for whitefly
To successfully combat whiteflies, 1 g of granules is dissolved in 1-7 liters of water. The volume depends on what type of plant is going to be processed. Usually one spray is enough to completely exterminate the pest. If this does not happen, Teppeki’s instructions for whitefly provide for repeated treatment, but not earlier than after 7 days.
One treatment with the drug is sufficient to kill whiteflies.
Teppeki for thrips
To get rid of thrips, prepare a 0.05% solution. In large volumes, this is 500 g/1000 l of water.The background information on the registration of the insecticide indicates that to control thrips, 0.3 kg of Teppeki granules are consumed per plot of 1 hectare.
To destroy thrips, prepare a 0.05% solution
Teppeki from mealybug
The pest is considered very dangerous. It pierces the skin of the plant and sucks out the juice. When signs of scale insects appear, all indoor crops must be treated. If you miss even one uninfected plant, the pest will appear on it over time.
When a scale insect appears, treat all indoor plants.
To destroy the scale insect, complex treatment is carried out with several preparations. Water the soil with the solution. However, the dosage of the active substance is increased 5 times than when spraying.
There are several schemes, but the most optimal is considered to be:
- The first watering is carried out with Confidor, diluted in a consistency of 1 g/1 l of water. Plus they use Appluad. The solution is diluted in a dosage of 0.5 g/1 l of water.
- The second watering is carried out a week later with Teppeki. The solution is prepared at the rate of 1 g/1 l of water.
- The third watering is done 21 days after the second. The solution is prepared from the drug Confidor or Aktar at the rate of 1 g/1 l of water.
Insecticides can be changed in order, but when replacing with analogues, you need to take into account that they must have different active ingredients.
Teppeki for spider mites
The appearance of the pest is determined by the marbling of the foliage. The tick itself looks like a small red dot. If the infection is severe, a solution of 1 g of insecticide per 1 liter of water is prepared for spraying. After the first treatment, some individuals may still survive on the plant. Many gardeners perform three sprays with an interval of a month between each procedure.
To treat a heavily infested plant with mites, three insecticide treatments are carried out.
Rules of application for different plants
The basic rule for using an insecticide is not to treat crops a month before harvesting. Everything is simpler with flowers. I spray violets, chrysanthemums, roses with a solution of 1 g/8 l of water. Fruit trees, such as apple trees, are best sprayed in early spring, during the ovary period, and a third time after harvesting. The solution is prepared from 1 g/7 l of water.
To spray violets, a solution is prepared from 1 g of Teppeka per 8 liters of water.
Potatoes require a strong solution. It is prepared from 1 g per 3 liters of water. You cannot dig up tubers for food for a month. As for the instructions for using Teppeka for cucumbers and tomatoes, it’s a little more complicated. Firstly, in Russia the insecticide is registered only as a means for killing aphids on apple trees. Secondly, cucumbers and tomatoes will ripen quickly, and after processing the vegetables cannot be eaten. Gardeners choose an opportune moment, usually at an early stage of crop development. Although, in the instructions, the manufacturer indicates the waiting period for garden crops - from 14 to 21 days.
Compatibility with other drugs
For complex treatments, Teppeki is allowed to be mixed with other preparations that do not contain alkali and copper. If there is no data on the composition of another pesticide, compatibility is checked independently experimentally.
Teppeki can be mixed with other preparations that do not contain copper or alkali
To check compatibility, pour 50 ml of each component into a plastic or glass container.The absence of a chemical reaction associated with a change in color, the appearance of bubbles, or the formation of flakes indicates that Teppeki can be safely mixed with this pesticide.
Pros and cons of use
There are so many pests that it is almost impossible to get a harvest without using insecticides. The advantages of the popular drug Teppeki are explained by the following facts:
- After treatment, rapid action is observed. High percentage of pest destruction.
- The insecticide has a systemic effect. If not all insects are exposed to the spray of the drug, the hidden individuals will still die.
- The protective effect lasts 30 days. Three treatments are enough to ensure crop safety for the entire season.
- There is no habituation of insects to Teppeki.
- The insecticide is compatible with many other drugs, which makes it possible to carry out complex treatment.
Disadvantages include high price and limited use. According to the instructions, spraying is allowed three times per season. If the pests reappear, you will have to use another drug.
Teppeki's analogues
The drug has a systemic effect. In general terms, most insecticides with similar characteristics can be considered analogues. However, the difference between Teppeka is the lack of resistance of insects to the drug.
Precautionary measures
Hazard class three has been established for Teppeki. The insecticide is harmless to people, bees, and the environment. This is due to the low concentration of the active substance in the finished solution.
When spraying with protective equipment, use gloves, a respirator and goggles.
Gloves are used to prepare the solution from protective equipment.When spraying individual plants or small beds, you need goggles and a respirator. If you are processing a large plantation, it is best to use protective clothing.
Storage rules
For Teppeki granules, the shelf life is indicated by the manufacturer on the packaging. It is better to dispose of excess prepared solution immediately. Store the insecticide in its original packaging, tightly closed, and place it in a dark place out of reach of children. Temperature range is limited from - 15 to + 35 OC. Optimal storage conditions are considered to be temperatures from + 18 to + 22 OWITH.
Conclusion
Instructions for use of Teppeki should always be at hand. It is not recommended to change the dosage based on someone else's advice. The insecticide will not cause much harm from improper use, but it will not do any good either.
Teppeki works. I haven’t seen aphids on treated fruit trees for 30 days. Now it’s starting to appear, I’ll process it again. The best part is that Teppeki works.
