When buying an insecticide, you need to pay attention to the following nuance: in our country, the insecticide is packaged exclusively in plastic bottles of 600 g or foil bags of 1 g. The official importer is Agroline LLC, information about this should be on the bag with the product.

Instructions for use

"Decis Profi" is produced in the form of water-dispersible granules (WDG), packed in bottles of 600 g and packages of 1 g. For summer residents, the second type of packaging is more convenient, and six-hundred-gram bottles are more suitable for use at large agricultural enterprises.

How to prepare a spray solution?

To prepare the working mixture, measure the recommended amount of the substance and mix it with a small portion of liquid (150-200 ml). The water should be clean, free of salt and lime, preferably at room temperature. The granules are mixed until a homogeneous solution is obtained. The working mixture is poured into the sprayer tank and water is added to the required volume.

According to the instructions attached to the preparation, 1 g of "Decis Profi" is dissolved in 10 liters of water. This volume is usually enough to process a plot of 100 sq. m or 2-3 fruit trees.

To protect indoor plants from harmful insects or treat an apartment from cockroaches, you will need 0.1 g of "Decis", dissolved in 1 liter of water.

When to process the site?

Treatment of garden and melons and gourds with the insecticide "Decis Profi" is carried out as needed when the first signs of pests appear. Plants can be sprayed during any period of growth, except for flowering. Work is carried out in calm, windless weather, early in the morning or after 6 pm, when the heat of the day subsides. It is desirable that there is no rain for the next 5–6 hours after the treatment.

At an air temperature of more than +25 ° C, the drug becomes ineffective. This should be remembered when choosing the time for processing garden and melons.

When spraying the composition, you need to ensure that it is evenly distributed over the leaves and stems of plants. If possible, it is better to process both the outer and inner parts of the sheet plate.

The last spraying is carried out a month before harvest. During this time, the insecticide will be completely removed from the plant cells and dissolve in the soil.

"Decis Profi" is popular as a poisonous agent intended for the destruction of adults and larvae of the Colorado potato beetle. To completely get rid of this harmful insect, which can destroy the dreams of gardeners about the harvest of potatoes or eggplants in a matter of days, you need to spray twice. After the first spraying, adults will die, and a secondary treatment after 7 days will save the planting from the larvae hatched during this time.

If winged pests appear on houseplants, you can also use Decis Profi. In this case, the ingredients are mixed in the following proportion: 0.1 g of granules per 1 liter of water. Care must be taken to ensure that no other people (especially children), animals, or an aquarium with fish are in the room during the treatment.

Security measures

Deltamethrin has been assigned a hazard class 3, that is, for people it is considered a moderately hazardous substance. Getting on open areas of skin and mucous membranes (eyes, nose, mouth), the drug causes burning and irritation.

When working with an insecticide, it is necessary to protect the respiratory organs with a respirator or gauze bandage, the skin of the hands with gloves, and the eyes with goggles.

If a toxic substance has settled on the surface of the skin, it should be washed immediately with clean water and soap. The eyes are washed with running water for a long time. When "Decis Profi" penetrates into the body, it is necessary to rinse the stomach by drinking 3-4 glasses of boiled water, take some kind of adsorbent and seek qualified medical help.

Decis Profi can be stored for two years. According to the manufacturer, during this time it will not lose its effectiveness if it is stored in a dry room at an air temperature of -15 to +25 ° C. As with any poisonous substance, the drug should not be placed in easily accessible places. It is forbidden to store and reuse the prepared solution. The container should be burned or disposed of.

What could go wrong?

The phytotoxicity of deltamethrin is controversial among agronomists.Scientists have noticed that even a low-concentration solution of this substance can burn young leaves of cabbage, beans and other plants. Therefore, before using it will be useful to experiment with the solution in a small area. If the leaves and stems remain the same green, you can continue spraying.

"Decis Profi" is a modern poisonous agent for combating a wide class of pests of horticultural and horticultural crops. Efficiency, convenient packaging, ease of use and low cost - these are the advantages for which summer residents choose Bayer products.
