To be sure of the subsequent death of pests, You can resort to some tricks:

  1. treat plants with Sanmaita And Fitoverma simultaneously (the principle of action of these drugs is different, but this does not prevent them from complementing each other perfectly);
  2. after 5 days after treatment Sunmite can be applied Fitoverm, Akarin, Kleschevit, Nissoran or Oberon to choose from (the point is that the drug should be different, but its purpose should be the same). The exception is Bordeaux mixture.
  3. It is allowed to use other pesticides and growth regulators together with Sunmite - these may be Elin, Zircon or Ribav-Extra.

To get the maximum effect from using the insecticide, you need to study the instructions and also pay attention to the recommendations for using Sunmite.

Plants are sprayed under favorable weather conditions (no wind or rain) in the evening or in the morning.

The solution is prepared as follows: 5 g of the substance must be mixed in a small amount of water, and after the powder has completely dissolved, the volume of water must be increased to 5 liters and everything must be mixed again.


 Avoid leaving untreated areas on the plants.

Plants must be thoroughly treated, the solution should evenly cover the surface of the leaves.

The best way to use Sunmite is after the plants have flowered, because it is during this period that the number of pests increases several times. It is prohibited to carry out such activities if there are less than 30-35 days left before harvesting.

The consumption of the product depends on which crops need to be treated. Apple trees - from 5 to 9 g per hundred square meters, tomatoes, cucumbers, ornamental crops - 7.5-10 g per hundred square meters.

The instructions for use of the drug Sunmite indicate that it should be stored in dry, cool rooms, the temperature of which can vary from +15°C to +30°C, away from medications and food products. It is also necessary to restrict access to it by children and animals.

In case of contact:

  • on the skin- wash it off with soapy water;
  • in the eyes- rinse with plenty of running water;
  • into the digestive tract- immediately drink 1-1.5 liters of water, induce vomiting, take activated charcoal and contact a specialized medical facility.

Sunmite is a highly effective and completely safe insecticide. Its use guarantees the cleanliness of the garden from pests, and therefore the safety of the harvest.

Pests of gardens and vegetable gardens, alas, are indispensable companions when trying to grow any crop. With large insects everything is clear: they can even be collected by hand, as is the case with the Colorado potato beetle in its adult form, as well as with its larvae or nymphs. But what about little things that are almost invisible to the eye like thrips or ticks? But there is a remedy for preserving the harvest and treating plants that have already been attacked by a small aggressor - the Sunmite insecticide.

Description of the insecticide

“Sunmite” was developed by Nissan Chemical Industries, Limited (Japan), and is a highly effective, repeatedly tested at different sites and certified in Russia means of combating small pests of cultivated plants.

The action of the drug is based on blocking the passage of electrons through the membranes of mitochondria in cells, which causes a metabolic stop in such representatives of mites as spider mites, grape mites, strawberry mites and the like. The “knockdown effect,” that is, the cessation of any type of life activity, occurs within a quarter of an hour, and by the end of several hours the complete death of the pests is observed. The active substance in the drug is pyridabene.

“Sunmite” acts by contact, so you need to take care to apply it evenly to the leaves of plants. And producers consider the best time for treatment to be the period of active flowering of garden crops, when both adult individuals and laid eggs and juveniles are present, which simultaneously solves the problem of all generations of mites.

Restrictions on use

If bees visit your site during the flowering period, the drug is almost as toxic to them as it is to ticks. Then it is better to treat the plants 7–10 days after the end of flowering of the plants in the garden, so that the bees’ conditioned reflex to visit this area disappears.

No cross-resistance was recorded during the use of Sunmite; its validity period was extended for up to 40-45 days. During this time, daily temperature fluctuations will not affect it in any way, and after this period, the structure of the drug, included in the specifications during its production, is destroyed. For warm-blooded animals in the doses used during plant treatment, the product is slightly toxic, but the drug is very toxic to birds.

In order to prevent resistance (pests becoming accustomed to the drug), its use should be limited to once a year. However, with careful and careful processing of plants from all sides, no repeated treatments will be required.

If it rains a few hours before treatment and a few hours after it, this will not affect the effect of the pest control agent in any way - it has excellent wetting and absorbing ability.

How to use Sunmite

For a better effect on pests, garden crops should be treated on all sides with 5 grams of the drug diluted in water. First, this amount of Sunmite is diluted in 300-500 ml, and then the resulting concentrated solution is diluted in 5 liters of water. Thus, the resulting volume and weight concentration is 1 to 5000. Treatment is best carried out with a finely sprayed spray in calm weather. The best time for this is the early morning hours, when the air masses have not yet begun to move and there is no wind.

Compatible with all growth regulators, except those with an alkaline reaction (indicated on the product packaging).

The consumption of the drug per unit area may vary. For apple trees this can be 50-80 g per 10 acres. But for nightshades (potatoes, tomatoes, eggplants, etc.) it’s already 75-100 grams per 10 acres.

“Sunmite” works even more effectively on indoor flowers, in conditions where exposure to water is possible only during watering, and precipitation is excluded. The drug has almost no odor, unlike such aggressive agents as “Karbofos” or “Dichlorvos”, which in an apartment is almost of primary importance. The main thing is to treat the top layer of soil in the pots along with the leaves and stems, and then dig it up a little, 2-3 centimeters. And, unlike using the product in the garden or vegetable garden, you will need to thoroughly wash the window sill on which these flowers live, the window glass and the edges of plant pots with detergents, removing all traces of the drug.

Once diluted in water, the drug is no longer stored, so if after spraying residual liquid remains, it is better to dispose of it by digging a hole 40-50 m deep and pouring it there, burying the hole. The solution loses its insect-poisoning abilities after 10-12 days.

It should also be taken into account that “Sunmite” in all forms (in powder and solution, as well as already applied to leaves and stems) quickly disintegrates in the light, especially under the influence of ultraviolet rays. Although this can be attributed to its next advantages: the disintegration of molecules does not occur in a short period of time, but within 2-3 days. Whereas it only takes a few hours to destroy pests. This property is of particular value when used at home, when indoor plants are infested with mites.

Precautions

Although the drug has hazard class 3 (“Moderately hazardous substance”), plant processing should be done in a suit that covers open areas of the body, a respirator or at least a thick gauze bandage should be put on the respiratory system, and safety glasses should be worn on the eyes. It is better to refrain from smoking, food and water until the end of treatment of the area. Wash clothing and personal protective equipment in a solution of laundry soap - it best neutralizes drug residues.

The original substance, a white or light cream powder, should be stored in a dark, dry and cool place, out of the reach of pets and children and in conditions where there is no food or medicine nearby.

Of the “cons” of the drug, only its high price can be mentioned: a 25-gram package costs about 250-300 rubles. It is not sold in all regions; it is better to purchase it in advance, without waiting for the season, when it may already be too late.

Conclusion

Sunmite is almost safe if it comes into contact with the skin and is moderately dangerous if it gets into the digestive tract. In this case, it is better to drink several glasses or even liters of water, slightly tinted to a pale pink color with potassium permanganate (potassium permanganate), and then induce vomiting. Why take activated carbon at the rate of 1 tablet per 10 kilograms of weight.

The drug can be dangerous if aerosols are inhaled, that is, if it affects the lungs, so respiratory protection must be reliable. If you happen to inhale a drug sprayed into the air, it is better to consult a doctor. There may not be an immediate danger to life, except in cases of a special allergic reaction to Sunmite, but the harm to health will be noticeable, nausea and vomiting, difficulty breathing and dizziness may occur.
