This video presents an innovative form of the drug "Fufanon".

Purpose and scope of application

This product is used for treating gardens and vegetable plots. The insecticide controls cockroaches, ticks, bedbugs, aphids, and leafhoppers. It can be used on both garden and houseplants.

Composition and mechanism of action

The active ingredient of the product is malathion, which has a lethal effect on insects. Once the substance enters the pest's body, it dies from intestinal poisoning. An hour after treatment with the preparation, insects stop damaging the beds, since they cannot feed, and after a day they die. If you carry out treatment during the cold season, the effect may be delayed. Please note that young insects die faster than adults.

For best results, read the instructions and apply the product correctly. Apply the product evenly. If you don't treat the entire area, pests may retreat to untreated areas to recharge. Spray finely to ensure each plant receives its own dose of the poison.

Release forms

The insecticide can be purchased in the form of a concentrate, ampoules, bottles and canisters.

For example, Fufanon KE dissolves poorly because it contains oil. If heated to 150°C, the liquid will boil and melt at 28°C.

There are also Fufanon-Super and Fufanon-Nova, which are available in plastic ampoules. They are just as effective as other versions of the product, but are water-based rather than oil-based.

Benefits of using the preparation for plants

After analyzing reviews and manufacturer claims, the following advantages of insect poison can be identified:

• the effect appears within 24 hours after use;
• the drug is odorless;
• ease of solution preparation and processing;
• the drug is consumed slowly;
• versatility – can be used to treat trees, indoor and garden plants;
• attractive price.

Application of insecticide

The product is most often used to treat agricultural crops. This procedure should be carried out before the plantings become heavily infested. Avoid treating crops on cloudy days, as they should not be exposed to water for two hours after treatment. On hot days, the procedure should be carried out early in the morning or late in the evening. To protect plants, wet the entire leaves. Hand-held or ground-mounted sprayers are effective.

If the product is used regularly on the same areas, its effectiveness will decrease due to tolerance. Manufacturers recommend alternating the product with products from other chemical groups.

Consumption and concentration

In order to prevent phytotoxicosis in plants, it is important to adhere to the application rates of the product.

If the treatment results in leaf burns, you've used too much of the mixture. In this case, thoroughly rinse the plants with clean water from a hose.

To avoid damage, carefully prepare the solution. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations and use measuring cups purchased from specialized stores.

For indoor plants

The solution can be used on houseplants. It's effective even when other treatments fail. It kills aphids, scale insects, whiteflies, and mealybugs. It's best to treat flowers in the summer, as the room must be thoroughly ventilated afterwards. Place the pots on the floor or a table covered with newspapers. The flowers should not touch each other.

Pour the concentrate into a spray bottle with water and mix well. Spray the plants thoroughly, paying particular attention to the tops and bottoms of the leaves, allowing them to dry. The product is odorless, but the room where you're applying it should be closed for best results.

Be sure to use personal protective equipment during treatment and wear long sleeves. After treatment, change clothes, wash your hands and face, or take a full bath. Rinse your mouth with running water. Do not touch the plants after treatment. They can be returned to their original locations after 24 hours.

For garden and vegetable crops

To treat fruit or berry plants, dilute 5 ml of insecticide in 5 liters of water. For one bush, you'll need 1.5 liters of solution, and for a tree, at least 2 liters.

Spraying raspberries and currants with the product will help get rid of spider mites, weevils, and moths. The product can also be used to treat strawberries, which are damaged by whiteflies and spider mites. In this case, use 5 liters of the product per 10 square meters. The product can also be sprayed on grapevines. To do this, dilute 10 ml of the concentrate in 10 liters of water. The main rule is to take your time. Carefully treat every leaf.

For tomatoes, use 2 liters of liquid per 10 square meters. This will help get rid of aphids, spider mites, and whiteflies.

Compatibility with other products

The product can be used in conjunction with colloidal sulfur to treat cucumbers and grapes. This helps prevent powdery mildew.

"Zircon" is another product that can be used in conjunction with "Fufanon." This combination will improve fruit set and rhizome development.

The insecticide can be used with Epin to boost crop immunity, and with Kurzat-R to kill viruses and fungi. It also works harmoniously with pyrethroids, which kill parasites found in the leaves and roots of crops.

Safety precautions and storage rules

It's important to follow certain safety precautions to avoid harming your health. Avoid spraying near apiaries or rivers to avoid harming living creatures. Avoid drinking, eating, or smoking during treatment. Use personal protective equipment. After treatment, wash the spray bottle, wash your clothes, and take a bath. Do not use the container in which the solution was prepared for other purposes. Store the product in a dark place, out of the reach of children.

Fufanon is a highly effective insecticide and acaricide that will help preserve your harvest and protect your plants from pests. It won't harm your health or your plants if you follow safety precautions when using it.
