Hello dear florists. If you are reading this article now, then surely your favorite flowers are overpowered by some dastardly pest.

It's good that there are proven and safe pest control products, such as Fitoverm. It is about him that we will talk today and consider in what cases this drug should be used, how to use it for indoor flowers and what results can be expected.

Description of the drug Fitoverm

Fitoverm is a broad-spectrum drug of biological origin. It was created on the basis of the waste products of soil microorganisms. Approved for use both on open field plants and indoor plants.

The effectiveness and safety of the drug was tested by the All-Russian Research Institute of Plant Protection, St. Petersburg, it received high marks from researchers. Monitoring performance in field conditions showed that it reduced the number of leaf-gnawing pests of apple and black currant by 94-100%. The number of ticks on apple and black currant has decreased by 96-100%. There was also a 100% death of bud weevils and 75-85% suppression of the development of apple aphids and currant apical aphids.

Two-fold application of Fitoverm on currants - immediately after flowering and two weeks before the start of berry ripening completely prevented the harmfulness of the four-legged leaf mite and leaf rollers, by 86% - eliminated the apical currant aphid.

The drug is safe for the environment, rapidly degrades in water and soil. You can harvest and consume the crop after three days after processing.

So strong and useful drug, irreplaceable assistant in the fight against all kinds of insect living creatures.

Features of the drug Fitoverm

• decomposes after 24 hours after application
• processing is allowed during fruit ripening
• safe for humans and animals
• pests do not get used to the drug
• to achieve the effect, repeated treatments are required
• cannot be mixed with other drugs

What pests does Fitoverm help with?

• colorado beetles
• cabbage scoop
• whites
• sawflies
• moths
• leaf rollers
• moths
• spider mites
• thrips
• caterpillars

Thrips

A small black insect with an elongated body no more than 2 mm in length. Affects most smooth-leaved indoor plants... Well distinguishable by eye. Affected leaves have a rough surface and distinct eroded spots.

Thrips

Spider mite

Has a reddish or brown color, size no more than 0.5 mm. It is difficult to distinguish visually, but leaves clear traces of its presence - a cobweb or whitish "dust" on the leaves. A plant affected by a spider mite begins to wilt, fold leaves, lose tone, and turn yellow. The spider mite prefers roses, chrysanthemums, poinsettia, gardenia and other plants.

Spider mite

Aphid

A common pest striking roses, orchids, not only domestic but also garden plants. It has a green body about 2 mm long, multiplies rapidly, forming well-visible colonies that capture the entire plant.

Aphid

In any case, even if you did not recognize a pest among them that sharpens your plants, but you see damaged leaves, eaten in places, spots, then you should use Fitoverm. Insects are not always noticeable, but they do their black job, so the plant must be rescued.

Step by step instructions for use

It will not hurt every florist to have Fitoverm at home. For indoor flowers, I use the packaging of the drug in 2 ml plastic ampoules. And this amount is enough for me to process plants on all the windowsills of my three-room apartment.

So, the drug is a packaging bag containing a 2ml plastic ampoule.

The ampoule is convenient for single use and is safe to open. On the back of the package detailed instructions.

Since the photo is not very clearly visible, I made a table of dosages of the Fitoverm drug:

So, we see that for indoor flowers against Spider mites, the entire contents of a 2 ml ampoule must be dissolved in 1 liter of water.

Against aphids: 1 ampoule for 250 ml (0.25 l) of water.

Against thrips: 1 ampoule per 200 ml (0.2 l) of water.

Since in this case thrips are seizing my gardenia, I took a sprayer with a capacity of just 0.2 liters, poured settled water into it for irrigation and dissolved the contents of the ampoule there. Mixed well.

Having received the working solution, we go to war - to process the plants. Of course, if one flower has suffered, it is necessary to process not only it, but also all its neighbors. The instructions contain safety precautions:

To prepare the solution, do not use food utensils, carry out the processing in the absence of children and animals, using protective clothing, glasses, a respirator, gloves. After work, wash your face and hands with soap, rinse your mouth.

I do not quite follow these rules, but in no case am I encouraging anyone to do the same. Usually I process in a well-ventilated room, wearing gloves, I try not to inhale the vapor from the sprayer, my hands, my face, but I do without overalls and a respirator.

You can spray the affected plants and water the soil in pots with the same solution, since some types of pests can also be in the soil or lay larvae there.

It is worth saying that in the summer, preventive spraying with Fitoverm at least once a month is necessary, because this is the time of the greatest activity and spread of all kinds of pests.

Fitoverm is a product that combines insecticidal, acaricidal and nematicidal effects and is used to protect industrial, vegetable, berry-fruit and decorative crops both open and protected ground. The main active ingredient of the drug is aversectin C - a substance natural origin, a mixture of avermectins B1a, A1a, A2a and B2a.

The main advantage of aversectin C is that products based on it do not cause addiction in pests and can be used for several years in a row. In addition, the substance is not phytotoxic and does not accumulate in the leaves and fruits of plants.

The drug is produced in different forms- from ampoules with a volume of 2 ml to five-liter canisters. There are two varieties of it: "Fitoverm, KE" and "Fitoverm, P".

Operating principle

Insecticide Fitoverm possesses a wide range impact and is very effective against:

After processing the plants, the drug enters the pest's body through the skin and gastrointestinal tract, causing disturbances in the functioning of the nervous system and paralysis. After 8 hours after contact with the substance, the insects stop feeding, and after 3-6 days they completely die.

The exceptions are ticks and sucking varieties, on which the action of Fitoverm manifests itself later: paralysis occurs after 12 hours, and death occurs no earlier than a week later.

You should be aware that the drug practically does not affect non-feeding forms of pests (pupae, larvae), therefore it is recommended to increase the temperature in closed rooms in order to speed up the vital processes of insects or to use Fitoverm in combination with hormonal drugs. At sharing the biological activity of insecticides is increased, and the waiting time for action is reduced.

Advantages and disadvantages

Any pest control product has a number of advantages and disadvantages, including Fitoverm. There are several advantages to using this insecticide.:

• The main active ingredient of the drug completely decomposes on the surface of leaves and fruits in 2-3 days, and in the soil after 25-30 hours.
• Convenient release forms allow you to purchase required volume insecticide for each specific case.
• Fitoverm has completely natural composition making it safe for the environment.
• The tool is allowed to be used during fruiting and combined with other drugs (except for pesticides of chemical origin), including growth stimulants.

However, using Fitoverm has its drawbacks.:

• The effect of application is rarely achieved the first time - in most cases, 3-4 treatments are required.
• The solution does not retain well on plant leaves, therefore it is recommended to use additional funds that improve its stickiness - for example, soap or shampoo.
• The drug is toxic to bees, as a result of which it is prohibited to use for crops during their flowering period.
• Abundant dew, light rainfall and a drop in air temperature significantly reduce the effectiveness of the insecticide.
• The product has a rather high cost and has a specific unpleasant odor.

Preparation of working solution

The Fitoverma instructions indicate that the dosage of the drug and its consumption rates vary depending on the type of culture and the pest attacking it:

• For deciduous and fruit trees dilute 1 ml of the drug in a liter of liquid. Use the solution to control moths, caterpillars, various mites and leafworms. The treatment is repeated twice with an interval of a week, if necessary, additional spraying is carried out.
• Indoor and outdoor ornamental plants, on which aphids, thrips or spider mites were seen, are treated with a solution of 2 ml Fitoverm, diluted in 0.5 l of water. The only exceptions are orchids - for them the concentration of the insecticide should be half as much so as not to harm the leaves, bulbs and the root system. According to the Fitoverma instructions for use, for indoor plants, at least four treatments should be carried out every 7-10 days.
• White and cauliflower rid of scoops, white beetles and their caterpillars, diluting 0.5 ml of insecticide with a liter of water. The procedure must be repeated twice, re-spraying is carried out 2-3 weeks after the first.
• For irrigation of vegetable crops, a solution of 2 ml of the drug diluted with two liters of water is used. The complete destruction of thrips, aphids and spider mites occurs after three treatments with a seven-day interval.
• With a weak solution of Fitoverm (2 ml per 5 l of liquid), the seedlings are treated before planting in open ground in order to protect them from various harmful insects.

In all cases, spraying is carried out using a finely dispersed spray gun, carefully ensuring that the solution is evenly distributed over the leaves. It is advisable to process the plants in the evening, since in the dark avermectin B1 decomposes more slowly, due to which the insecticidal-acaricidal effect of Fitoverm is prolonged. Do not spray during the period of precipitation, as well as at temperatures below +17 ° C - otherwise the effect of the use of the drug will be close to zero.

Safety measures at work

Despite the completely natural composition, Fitoverm is a rather toxic agent, which has been assigned a third hazard class for humans, therefore, when working with it, certain precautions must be observed:

• All manipulations with the drug are carried out in protective gloves, glasses and a respirator. Clothing should fit snugly to the body, covering all parts of it.
• To prepare the working solution, use only special containers. It is unacceptable to dilute the insecticide in dishes that can accidentally mix with kitchen utensils.
• During processing, it is forbidden to drink, smoke and eat.
• Do not spray near animals and small children, as well as in the immediate vicinity of reservoirs and aquariums.
• If the drug gets into the eyes, they are washed big amount running water. The solution on the skin is thoroughly washed off with soap and water. If you accidentally swallow Fitoverm, you must immediately induce vomiting, and then take several tablets of activated carbon (1 tablet per 10 kg of weight).
• At the end of the event, wash all containers that were used during processing and remove them away from small children and animals. Be sure to wash your sprayed clothes and shower.
• The product must be stored in a specially designated place strictly according to the instructions. The drug solution cannot be stored and must be used immediately after preparation. Do not use insecticide after the expiration date.
