- Chemical composition. The main substance - the spores of the bacteria Bacillusthuringiensis.
- The mechanism of action of the drug. Spores contain crystalline toxins that damage the intestinal wall. In addition, they block the production of digestive enzymes. The result is a loss of appetite, a weakening of the body and the death of a pest. Toxins have an entomocidal and ovicidal effect. The path of entry is only intestinal. Resistance in insects to the components of the drug is not produced.
- Duration of action. Very small - within a few hours. The substance tends to decay in sunlight.
- Compatibility with other drugs. It is well combined with chemical and biological insecticides.
- Bitoxibacillin Application. Insecticide Bitoxibacillin BTU is used in calm weather, in the absence of rain and high humidity. Suitable temperature for use is 17 - 30 °.
- How to prepare a solution? Preparation should occur immediately before use. 70-80 g of the powder is dissolved in a glass of water and thoroughly stirred.

- Composition. Spores of crystal-forming microorganisms Bacillusthurengiensis var. kurstaki.
- The mechanism of action of the drug. Protein toxin in the spores destroys the intestinal wall, blocks the synthesis of enzymes, paralyzes the digestive tract. The next day, the body weakens, motor functions stop and appetite is lost. Large doses of the drug cause a strong inhibition of reproductive capacity. The next generations are born weak and unviable. The drug has repellent properties, scaring adults. In the body of the larva enters the intestinal and contact routes.
- Duration of action. The tool is not stable in the external environment, quickly disintegrates under the action of the rays of the sun. The period of activity is a few hours.
- Compatibility. It is combined with any chemical and biological pesticides.
- When to apply? Do not spray in strong winds, temperatures below 15 ° and high humidity conditions.
- How to prepare a solution? For processing 1 hundred, 50 ml of the product are stirred in a glass of cold water, then poured into a bucket of water and mixed. The solution is used immediately.
- Lepidocid application. Potato bushes are plentifully moistened with a solution by spraying. Processing is possible in any period of plant development, no more than 2 times per season.
- Toxicity. Lepidocide does not pose a danger to people, animals, any insects (excluding the Lepidoptera order). Rated to the 4th class.
Dendrobatsillin
- Release form. Wetting and dry powder grayish or brown. Concentration - 30 or 60 billion viable spores per gram of mass. It is packaged in double waterproof polyethylene bags weighing 200 g.

- Mechanism of action. The drug acts from the inside, entering the body in the intestinal way. It disrupts the normal functioning of the digestive system, makes holes in the intestinal walls, stops the production of enzymes. In 2-3 days the larvae stop eating and growing, then die.
- Duration of action. Dendrobatsillin quickly disintegrates in the external environment, so the validity is limited to a few hours.
- Compatibility. The tool is perfectly combined with other biological as well as chemical insecticides and acaricides.
- When to apply?. At any stage of the growing season of potatoes during mass invasions of potato moths, after the appearance of larvae. The drug is used in calm weather in normal humidity at a temperature not lower than 15 °.
- How to prepare a solution? A portion of the drug is ground in a very small amount of cold water, until you get a homogeneous mixture. This mass is diluted in 10 liters of water with a temperature not higher than 20 °. Before you pour the solution into the spray, it is filtered through gauze, folded several times. For processing 1 square we need 30-50 ml per bucket of water.
