a brief description of
This drug appeared on the market relatively recently, but managed to prove itself from the very best side. They speak well of him and recommend them to friends and acquaintances. It is produced in India, where the diversity and activity of insects force manufacturers to create more and more new drugs. Corado is a pesticide designed to fight Colorado beetles, aphids and other harmful insects. It is produced in ampoules, the size of which is 1 ml, or in a bottle, the volume of which is 10 and 25 ml. The packaging is very convenient, so it can be easily transported from one place to another.
It is worth noting that the product has a rather pungent odor, since it is highly concentrated. Imidacloprid is an active ingredient in Corado and is often used in sanitary practice. It is characterized by resistance to moisture and sunlight, so treated plants remain under its influence even with changes in the weather.
The mechanism of action of the drug
Many gardeners are wondering how the drug works, providing such amazing reliability. In fact, everything is very simple: first it gets on the plants, absorbing into them from the roots to the uppermost shoots. After contact with beetles, it enters the body of parasites in the intestinal or systemic way and binds to the receptors of the nervous system. This, in turn, causes convulsions and subsequent paralysis.
Lack of movement and inability to eat entails the death of pests, leaving them no opportunity to survive. The maximum activity remains for 28 days, although it may continue to act for several more days, after which the treatment can be repeated.
