Composition, release form and purpose of Prestige treater

Insect-fungicide disinfectant from the German company Bayer is a low toxicity poison used against insects and some types of fungus. Prestige is available as a concentrated suspension. Sold in plastic bottles with a capacity of 20-1000 milliliters. There are 5 liter packages. Before use, Prestige is diluted with water according to the instructions. The solution is used to treat potato tubers and the root system of vegetable and fruit crops.

As part of Prestige, there is an insecticide imidacloprid, a fungicide pencycuron. The insecticidal component helps to protect plants from the Colorado potato beetle, wireworm, thrips, aphids, bears, moths, fleas, leafhoppers. Fungicide prevents the development of such diseases as rhizoctonia, common scab, various rot.

The mechanism of action of the fungicide

Prestige contains an adhesive that allows you to use active substances with maximum efficiency. After processing the root system, the contact-systemic insecticide begins to move throughout the plant - from roots to stems, leaves, and protects the culture from insects for up to 1-1.5 months.

Imidacloprid leads to the development of paralysis, the death of harmful organisms. Getting on the potato tubers, the insecticide protects the emerging tops and the planting material from pests.

The fungicide, unlike the insecticidal component, does not move anywhere, it remains on the roots, partially absorbed into the soil, creating a protective zone around the plant against fungi. Pencicuron inhibits the germination of mycelium, inhibits biosynthetic processes inside the fungi.

This contact agent disintegrates after 40 days.
