Corn is one of the main grain crops in Ukraine, and the amount of the crop directly depends on weather conditions, as well as the level of protection against pests, diseases and weeds. According to statistics, such a culture is susceptible to the negative influence of hundreds of viruses, bacteria, but the maximum damage is corn stalk moth , rodents. In order to increase yields and reduce losses, it is necessary to carry out a number of preventive and other agrotechnical procedures in order to protect maize from scoops and other negative factors during sowing, climbing, growth and development.
Biological protective agents
The use of biological agents, and not pesticides and chemistry, is a modern agrotechnical direction, completely harmless to humans with high efficiency. The technique is implemented using modern techniques and approaches, as well as compliance with the law, regulations for helping plants and their growth.
The main tool for today is trichogram, reviews about which only positives with high efficiency. This is an insect, almost invisible to the human eye, which was created in a laboratory on the basis of eggs of a scoop and a stem moth. Useful insects are scattered with the help of agricultural aircraft, after which pests are searched for and destroyed. Thus, corn stalk moth is killed, protection of corn from scoops occurs. You can order such a product from the BioTech company, which is actively developing and selling biological protective products.
Trichogramma reviews has positive, and the beneficial insects themselves are made for work in the open field. Their sizes range from 0.4-0.9 mm, their color is yellow, black in different shades. Pest control is carried out at the egg stage.
Based on the experience of use, we can highlight the high efficiency of such a biological agent:
- For maize and sunflower, the efficiency will be about 70-80% with maize retention of about 6 c /ha.
- For root crops, the efficiency will be 75% with a yield of 40 c /ha.
Due to this, it can be seen that the product will be correctly used not only for corn, but also for other plants that are not desirable for chemical treatment. Beneficial insects do not harm the plants themselves, so the harvest is absolutely safe for humans. To clarify all the details and features, it is recommended to contact the managers of the BioTech company.
