The original instructions for use of the Ampligo insecticide indicate its ability to destroy pests at all stages of development. It is used in growing most crops. "Ampligo" contains substances that provide its functional advantage over other agents.

Description of the drug

The Swiss-made contact-intestinal insecticide Ampligo is aimed at destroying most pests of row crops. This is a new product that has an effective and long-lasting effect. Methods for treating various plants with Ampligo should be specified in the instructions.

The period of protective action of the insecticide "Ampligo" is 2-3 weeks

Compound

"Ampligo" is classified as a new generation of insecticides due to its unique composition. It is based on two substances with multidirectional actions. Chlorantraniliprole deprives pests of the ability to contract muscle fibers.As a result, they suffer complete paralysis and inability to eat. The action of chlorantraniliprole is directed primarily against lepidopteran insects in the larval stage.

Lambda-cyhalothrin is the second active component of the drug. It activates the nerve impulses of pests. This leaves them in a state of inability to control their movements. Lambda-cyhalothrin has the necessary effect on a wide range of garden and garden pests.

The different directions of action of the two substances that make up the drug prevent the development of resistance to its influence. A special advantage of the Ampligo insecticide is its effectiveness against pests in all phases of development:

eggs - intoxication occurs when the shell is chewed;
caterpillars - instant destruction (knockdown effect);
adult insects die within 2-3 weeks.

Attention! Lepidoptera caterpillars begin to die 1 hour after spraying and completely disappear by the end of 3 days.

Release forms

The Ampligo insecticide is produced in the form of a microencapsulated suspension concentrate. This gives two advantageous features:

The drug lasts much longer.
High temperatures do not affect its effectiveness.

The volume of the suspension is selected according to need from three options: 4 ml, 100 ml, 5 l.

Recommendations for use

The original instructions for using the Ampligo insecticide recommend spraying row crops: tomatoes, sunflowers, sorghum, soybeans, corn, cabbage and potatoes. The drug is effective against pests of fruit and ornamental trees and shrubs.

"Ampligo" is effective against a wide range of garden and garden pests

First of all, it is aimed at combating lepidopteran insects. "Ampligo" demonstrates high effectiveness against a large number of other types of pests:

cotton bollworm;
codling moth;
corn stem borer;
sawyer;
leaf roller;
aphid;
bugarka;
flower beetle;
meadow moth;
cruciferous flea beetle;
moth;
mole;
cicada, etc.

The method of using the Ampligo insecticide is to thoroughly spray the plants. The solution is absorbed into the surface of the culture. After an hour, a dense protective layer appears, resistant to solar radiation and precipitation. The substances included in it remain active for at least 20 days.

Consumption rates for Ampligo insecticide

The consumption rate of the Ampligo insecticide, according to the instructions, is presented in the table:

Tomatoes, sorghum, potatoes	0.4 l/ha
Corn, sunflower, soybeans	0.2-0.3 l/ha
Apple tree, cabbage	0.3-0.4 l/ha

Rules of application

Treatment of crops is carried out during the period of mass pest population. Increasing the dosage of the Ampligo insecticide recommended in the instructions can lead to crop destruction. It is permissible to spray fruit and berry crops 3 times during the growing season, vegetables - no more than 2 times. The last treatment must be done no later than 20 days before harvest. According to the instructions for use, the Ampligo insecticide can be sprayed on corn only once a season.

Preparation of the solution

The suspension is dissolved in water immediately before spraying. A 4 ml package is mixed with 5-10 liters. To prepare 250 liters of solution necessary for treating a large area of plantings, a minimum of 100 ml of insecticide is required.

To effectively treat crops with an insecticide, special attention should be paid to the quality of water when preparing the solution.It is better to take it from open sources and let it sit before use. In cold water, the suspension dissolves poorly, which is why the quality of spraying suffers. Artificial heating should be avoided, as oxygen will evaporate from it.

Important! The prepared solution can only be used on the day of preparation.

How to use it correctly for processing

Before you start spraying, you need to take care to protect the skin and mucous membranes. They try to spray the freshly prepared solution quickly, distributing it evenly to all parts of the plant. Delay in work can lead to harm to both the crop and the person carrying out the processing. Storing the finished solution for more than a few hours is unacceptable.

It is important to pay attention to weather conditions. The ideal air temperature for spraying plants with insecticide is +12-22 ^OC. The weather should be clear, the soil and plants should be dry. Strong gusty winds can lead to uneven distribution of the substance and its entry into neighboring areas. Treatment is usually carried out in the morning or evening, in the absence of the scorching rays of the sun.

The solution must be distributed evenly throughout the plant.

Vegetable crops

The Ampligo insecticide is sprayed on cabbage, tomatoes or potatoes in accordance with the instructions for use. Two-time processing is allowed, if necessary. At least 20 days must pass from the moment of spraying before harvesting. Otherwise, dangerous concentrations of chemicals will remain in the fruits.

Fruit and berry crops

According to the instructions for use, the Ampligo insecticide is recommended to be used primarily on apple trees. For one young tree, use 2 liters of the prepared solution, for an adult and spreading tree - up to 5 liters.Harvesting can be done 30 days after spraying.

Garden flowers and ornamental shrubs

The dosage of the insecticide for ornamental crops corresponds to that used when treating fruit, berry and vegetable plants. Before spraying, trim and remove fallen leaves and branches. The sections are covered with a protective layer of garden varnish. If necessary, three-time treatment is allowed.

Compatibility of the Ampligo insecticide with other drugs

The drug can be mixed with many other plant protection products. It is unacceptable to combine it with substances that have an acidic or alkaline reaction. In each individual case, you need to check the products for compatibility so as not to harm the plants.

Pros and cons of use

The improved composition of the Ampligo insecticide gives it a number of advantages:

Does not reduce efficiency when exposed to direct solar radiation.
Does not stop working after rain, forming a sticky film.
Operates in a wide temperature range - +10-30 ^OWITH.
Destroys eggs, caterpillars and adult pests.
Shows effectiveness against most pests.
Does not lead to the development of resistance.
Instantly kills Lepidoptera caterpillars.
Remains active for 2-3 weeks.

After spraying, the Ampligo insecticide penetrates the upper layers of the plant without entering its main channel. After a few weeks, it is almost completely destroyed, so the edible part becomes absolutely harmless to humans. It is very important not to harvest before this time. For tomatoes, the minimum period is 20 days, for apple trees - 30.

Attention! Vapors of the drug pose a danger to human health during spraying, so precautions should be taken.

Precautionary measures

Insecticide "Ampligo" is a moderately toxic substance (class 2). When working with it, ensure reliable protection of the skin and respiratory tract. To avoid negative reactions from the body, adhere to the following rules:

When spraying, wear thick overalls or a robe, cover your head with a hood or scarf, use rubber gloves, a respirator and safety glasses.
Dilution of the drug is carried out in a room with a working exhaust system or in the fresh air.
The container in which the solution was prepared should not be used for food.
At the end of work, clothes should be hung out to air and take a shower.
Smoking, drinking and eating are prohibited during the spraying process.
In case of contact with the skin, the insecticide is immediately washed off with soap and water, and the mucous membranes are thoroughly washed with water.

When working with an insecticide, it is important to protect the skin and mucous membranes

Storage rules

The following conditions are suitable for storing the insecticide:

air temperature from -10 ^OFrom to +35 ^OWITH;
lack of light;
inaccessibility for children and animals;
proximity to food and medicine is excluded;
low air humidity.

Conclusion

Instructions for use of the Ampligo insecticide contain the basic rules for working with the drug.To achieve maximum effectiveness and safety, you must adhere to all the points stated in it. It is especially important to ensure personal protection and adhere to the specified deadlines.

Reviews of the insecticide Ampligo-MKS

Irina Gorbunova, 45 years old, Krasnoyarsk

On the advice of friends, I bought Ampligo to protect potatoes from the Colorado potato beetle. The seller explained that a microencapsulated suspension is an ideal form of insecticide release that promotes its long-term effects. An hour after spraying, the first beetles began to fall from the leaves. A week later, there were already clean bushes on my site without a single beetle. Re-processing was avoided.

Alexander Popov, 53 years old, Belgorod

I have been farming professionally for over 20 years. Last year I tried the Ampligo insecticide on a sunflower, strictly following the instructions for use. Treated the seeds before planting. I'm pleased with the result. The crop showed high productivity and was not attacked by pests throughout the season. Previously, I had encountered aphid attacks due to a dry spring, and the result was a lot of unopened baskets.
