Fitoverm for indoor plants: instructions for use

What indoor plants are they used for?

Fitoverm is a drug with a pronounced odor that is used for various purposes. It can be used not only to protect indoor plants, but also different crops. Fitoverm ke effectively deals with the following pests:

• Colorado beetle;
• white butterfly and cabbage;
• aphid;
• thrips;
• peduncle;
• plant mite;
• moth;
• leaf rollers;
• whitefly;
• mealybug;
• shield.

Everyone should remember that some insects and pests get used to the components of the drug, so its effectiveness may decrease with prolonged use.

Fitoverm is widely used to treat indoor plants. This product does not have a pronounced and pungent odor, so it can be sprayed indoors. Manufacturers have also taken care of convenient packaging - these are single ampoules with a volume of 2 ml. They are suitable for processing at any time of the year.

This is a unique plant that is famous for its beauty and uniqueness. Most often, the flower is located on the windowsills, and insect pests actively settle on the roots and leaves. The orchid must be treated for thrips, nematodes, ticks, mealybugs, as well as scale insects. To obtain a ready-made solution, take 2 ml of the product and 50 ml of water.

There are situations when pests settle in the root part, therefore, to destroy them, a flower with a pot is immersed in water at room temperature for 30 minutes. Adults float up quickly, so they need to be collected and be sure to destroy. Further, the plant is dried, pulled out of the pot and treated with the drug.

If pests live on the leaves and stems of an orchid, then they need to be washed every day for a week with a prepared solution. When re-infestation by pests, the treatment is repeated.

Fitoverm for violets

Violets are beautiful plants that delight people with their lush flowers. On their leaves, pests multiply imperceptibly, because they are reliably hiding inside the outlets. After processing, the flowers are not placed in the light and sun until they are completely dry. If you do not adhere to this rule, then ugly yellow spots will appear on the surface of the leaves. Spider mites, thrips and whiteflies breed on violets. During processing, it is necessary to avoid getting the solution on the flowers so as not to spoil them.

I live in a private house and am engaged in the cultivation of flowers, plants and trees. I have repeatedly had to do pest control treatments. Recently I bought Fitoverm on the advice of my neighbor, who uses it to process roses and was pleasantly surprised with the result. Now I recommend other people to buy this product for their garden and home. It is convenient for them to handle crops, whitefly and ticks are quickly destroyed, good composition and minimal consumption.

Ludmila

If you are looking for an effective preparation for the treatment of indoor plants or trees in the garden, then be sure to buy Fitoverm. I never write reviews, but I would like to write a few lines about this tool. Everyone in our family loves to eat vegetables and grow crops on the windowsill. But even at home, pests and insects appear on the leaves. We have tried many different drugs and biological poisons, but only Fitoverm helps us get a good harvest.

Konstantin

I have been using Fitoverm against spider mites and whiteflies for a long time, so I want to share my feedback. This is a miracle remedy that always pleases with its effectiveness. Individuals completely die after 3 days. No other remedy that was recommended to me in stores gave such a result.

Dmitriy

Fitoverm is used to kill insects and ticks that harm violets, orchids, balsam and many other indoor plants. This versatile remedy is most effective when thoroughly processing the entire plant, including the lower surfaces of leaves, buds, buds.

The emulsion is colorless and odorless, but after spraying, the solution can leave shiny or dull streaks on the plants. Violets are placed for a while in an unlit place so that the drops of the solution dry. Other flowers can be rinsed with water a few days after spraying.

Re-processing is recommended after 4 days. With a strong infection of plants with dense leaves, 4 sprays may be required with an interval of 4–5 days between them.

Fitoverm belongs to the biologically active preparations of the insectoacarid group. Shows high efficiency in the fight against pests of indoor plants (aphids, mites, etc.).

The main component is the substance aversectin (this is a natural extract from the fungus of the genus Stertemyces avermitilis) at a concentration of 2 g / l. It causes paralysis of the pest and leads to its early death.

The mechanism of action is based on two forms of poison:

• contact. In this case, when it comes into contact with the surface of the parasite, it dies;
• intestinal. The poison penetrates the internal organs and destroys the body.

Important! It does not have any toxicity for a plant, but for humans it is classified as class 3 of toxic substances. The effect occurs in a short time (up to 3-5 days). You need to dilute it clearly according to the attached instructions.

Forms of issue

Fitoverm has several forms of release: ampoules (2-5 ml) and vials of 20 ml. Produced by the famous Russian. It is best to purchase the drug in the required quantity, since open vials or ampoules cannot be stored for a long time.

Spectrum of action

It is used to treat indoor plants, vegetables, fruits and other garden crops. Fights pests such as aphids, ticks, thrips, caterpillars, leafworms and other insects.

The main advantages are:

• effect in a short time (the death of parasites begins a few hours after treatment, after 3-5 days they completely disappear);
• low toxicity;
• maintaining efficiency even in the hot season;
• there is no addiction of parasites to the components of the drug;
• quickly decomposes in soil or water.

Among the disadvantages, florists highlight the high cost and incompatibility with other drugs.

The insecticide fitoverm is on sale in the form of a liquid concentrate. It is used to spray the aerial parts of plants against insect pests. It is susceptible to rapid degradation and therefore does not pollute the environment. But this remedy should not be confused with the "Fitoderm" balm, which is used to eliminate certain skin diseases.

It can be used for garden plants and indoor plants due to the absence of toxicity. It is used not only for prevention, but also for the treatment of flowers and garden plants from insects:

• Ticks.
• Thrips.
• Caterpillars.
• Aphids.
• Scoop.
• Colorado beetles.

Spraying of plants is carried out in special equipment. Use gloves, goggles and a mask (if necessary), closed clothing. Smoking and eating are prohibited during the procedure. At the end of the procedure, you should wash your hands and face with laundry soap. Spraying is desirable to carry out in a protective mask, or be at some distance from the jet.

When the drug enters the gastrointestinal tract, you should drink several tablets of activated carbon, if possible, induce vomiting. It is recommended to be examined by a doctor.

Storage of the drug is carried out in places inaccessible to children and pets, away from food and medicines. Storage temperature -15 to 30 ○ C, shelf life 2 years in unopened packaging. The remains of the solution after the procedure must be disposed of, in no case stored.

If pests are found, phytoverm should be used. The instructions for use for indoor plants provide for a frequency of spraying up to four times a year.

For maximum effect, the prepared solution should be used immediately. The remaining substance is disposed of in the sewerage system. It is forbidden to liquidate the remains of the product near open water bodies due to the death of their inhabitants.

Inexperienced growers often do not know how to breed phytoverm for indoor plants. According to the instructions, the following dosages are used:

• Spraying from the cultivation of aphids is carried out with a solution, for the preparation of which they take 8 ml of the substance per liter of water. For one flower, take about 100 ml of the product and process the plants after a week.
• A solution of 10 ml of the substance per liter of water is prepared for treatment against spider mites. The interval between treatments is maintained at about 7-10 days. Consumption per plant as in the first case.
• To combat thrips, take 10 ml of phytoverm per liter of water. Re-processing is carried out after a week with a solution consumption of 100-200 ml per plant.

We suggest that you familiarize yourself with: Is it possible to get infected with worms from another person

When spraying flowers with a solution, safety measures should be observed. Ampoules should be kept out of the reach of children and pets. It is necessary to use personal protective equipment when working with the drug. Rinse open skin areas with running water in case of contact with the product.

Disinfection of soil in a pot before planting flowers is carried out with a pre-prepared solution. In one liter of water, dissolve 4 ml of the active substance and put a flower in this composition for half an hour. In case of infection, all insects will float to the surface. After processing, the soil is dried, water with insects is disposed of.

Even when processing outdoors, a mask and gloves should be used. After spraying, it is recommended to leave the flower outside for a while. In this case, open sunny areas should be avoided. Under the influence of ultraviolet light, spots may appear on the leaves.

On the orchids thrips are bred. I didn't even know what to do, but a colleague at work recommended Fitoverm insecticide. After several treatments, all insects disappeared. Now the plants delight with their lush flowers.

For several years I have been breeding uzambar violets at home. One day I noticed lesions on the leaves: mites were to blame. I began to look for valuable information on the fight against these harmful insects. After reading the positive reviews about Fitoverm, I bought it. After using according to the instructions, I forgot about ticks, and the Saintpaulias were delighted with their multi-colored buds all season.

Fitoverm M. What is Fitoverm

Fitoverm is one of the biological products. Their distinguishing feature from pesticides is the delay in action on the objects of elimination. Affected individuals continue to feed for 2-24 hours, and die 1-3 days after treatment. Therefore, in a neglected area and with raids of gluttonous pests (locusts, etc.), biological products are not very effective: the pests will eat everything before they die. In such cases, you need to use insecticides such as "ambulance": strong, dangerous, but also killing harmful objects instantly, for example. Aktara.Especially - for fruit trees and berry bushes, when it is necessary to save perennial plants, giving up on crop losses. But Fitoverm also stands out among biological products for a short period of complete disintegration: 24 hours in the ground; maximum three days in plants. If the treatment with Fitoverm was carried out at temperatures above +15 degrees in the evening, then the day after tomorrow it is already possible to release the bees.

Other features of Fitoverm are that it is predominantly a contact poison; intestinal to a lesser extent and therefore its use is most effective against pests with thin integuments, see above. Fitoverm has a rather long aftereffect on the affected objects: it lasts 7-20 days in their organisms. The surviving individuals reduce the intensity of feeding (and the harm they cause); their fertility also decreases. Further, Fitoverm acts the stronger, the higher the ambient temperature: if we take the action at +20 degrees as a standard, then when it is lowered to +15, the effect of the drug weakened three times. With an increase to +25, it increased by 1.5 times, and at +30 approx. 8 times. Finally, Fitoverm is susceptible to the damaging effects of sunlight and hydrolysis. In an environment with 100% humidity or in water, its decomposition is accelerated by half.

As a result, general recommendations for using Fitoverm are as follows:

• A single treatment is not very effective, you need to carry out repeated ones.
• Start processing as soon as the first pests are seen.
• Fitoverm treatment is usually carried out in the evening in warm dry weather.
• The first application of Fitoverm to rid plants of pests before pollination can be carried out in the morning at the very beginning of the blooming of the first buds. Then there will be no fear that the pollinators will die - Fitoverm is not very dangerous for bees. The second treatment to preserve the ovaries is carried out immediately after the plants have flowered.

Note: for the protection of a garden and vegetable garden in a small area with the help of biologicals, see.

The mechanism of action on parasites

The active substance of the drug - Aversectin C is a fourth generation biological insecticide and acaricide. The Latin names for these classes of arthropods are Acari and Insecta; and the word caedo means "I kill." The agent obtained on the basis of the waste products of the microorganism Streptomyces avermitilis belongs to intestinal and contact biopesticides. Fitoverm has a detrimental effect on pests, but does not accumulate in plant tissues.

After Fitoverm solution enters the digestive tract, Aversectin destroys the intestinal wall and ends up in the body cavity. Most insects and mites lose their ability to feed after 8 hours, aphids - after 10-15 hours. On days 3–7, the drug causes paralysis and death of arthropods. Fitoverm does not act on eggs, therefore, repeated treatments are needed to destroy new generations of harmful organisms.

The protective effect of the drug lasts up to 20 days indoors. The higher the air temperature, the more effective the product "works". When processing in damp weather on an open balcony, loggia, terrace, the protection period can be reduced to 1 week.

Aversectin does not accumulate in air, soil and water, as it decomposes within 12 hours. It is not recommended to store the prepared solution - it loses its properties. Also, Fitoverm is not used for watering plants, since the active ingredient is not absorbed by the root system.

Description of the drug

Very often, many gardeners are faced with the problem of various pests that multiply and spoil the planted plants. Unfortunately, this fate has not spared the lovers of indoor plants, because insects can settle in those plants that, it would seem, are protected by home warmth and comfort.

Most often, various chemicals are used to fight insects, but it is worth remembering that not all of them are suitable specifically for indoor plants. They grow indoors, so I require a slightly different attitude to myself than other cultures.

Biological preparation of the fourth generation "Fitoverm" is perfect for the treatment of domestic plants.

It contains two types of poisons:

1. Contact poisons - affect the outer covers of the insect, and cause instant death.
2. Intestinal poisons - have the same property as contact ones, only they kill the pest from the inside, getting directly into the intestines.

It consists of the waste products of organisms living in the soil.

And it affects many different insects, such as:

1. Aphid.
2. Fruit moth.
3. Leaf roll.
4. Moths.
5. Plant mites.
6. Thrips.
7. Caterpillars.
8. Colorado beetle.
9. Cabbage scoop and whitefish.

This drug is sold in packs of 4 grams, the cost of one sachet is about 15-20 rubles.

It is also possible to choose the dosage of "Fitoverma", for indoor plants a bag with two ampoules of 2 grams is better, but for fruit and vegetable crops one ampoule per 4 grams is used.

Safety measures when using Fitoverma

Fitoverm belongs to the group of insectoacaricides of contact-intestinal action. This means that the insecticide is used against various types of insects and mites. The contact-intestinal mechanism of action suggests that the agent penetrates the skin of the insect and the gastrointestinal tract when eating leaves. The active ingredient in the insecticide - aversectin C - causes nervous paralysis in the animal.

The pest loses its ability to feed in 8 hours after treatment, its death occurs in a few days. For sucking insects and mites, the effect occurs somewhat later: insects stop feeding after 12 hours, and die within a week.

In the soil, the insecticide Fitoverm decomposes in 25-30 hours after application, on the surface of leaves and fruits - after 2-3 days. Most other drugs take 20-30 days to decompose. Therefore, the use of Fitoverm is recommended during flowering and harvesting.

During the first spraying, adults die, but their juvenile forms (larvae, pupae, nymphs) remain. When they start feeding on their own, re-processing is necessary. The use of the drug continues until all pests are killed.

Fitoverm is a fourth-generation biological substance. It is created on the basis of metabolic products of soil microorganisms, making it safer than chemicals. The drug belongs to the third level of danger (moderately hazardous), therefore, when using it, contact with the skin and mucous membranes should be avoided. Before using the drug, you must read the instructions and dosages.

Spectrum of action

Impact speed and compatibility

Fitoverm is compatible with:

• growth regulators (Ribav-Extra, Zircon, Epin);
• organophosphate insecticides;
• the main pesticides used to treat indoor flowers;
• with pyrethroids;
• fertilizers;
• fungicides.

But it is forbidden to mix it with substances that have alkaline properties. If you mixed any drug and Fitoverm, and the resulting composition precipitated, then these substances cannot be combined.

6 hours after application of the drug, gnawing pests do not eat and freeze for 2-3 days. And then they die.

Sucking insects need more days. They stop eating after 12 hours and die after 2 days. Their bulk dies in 5-7 days. And the leaves of flowers retain poison for 1-3 weeks. According to the experiments carried out, the drug has the worst effect on aphids.

Instructions for use of the drug

Be sure to carefully read the instructions before using this drug, determine the required amount of solution so as not to harm the orchid. At the first sign of the presence of parasites, it is recommended to start processing immediately.

It is forbidden to use containers in which food will be prepared in the future for breeding. It is best to use disposable gloves, after dilution, be sure to thoroughly wash your hands and face with soap and water. It is not recommended to inhale the vapors of the poisonous substance after opening the ampoule.

The following will describe how to breed a drug to combat different types of pests:

• in the case of aphids, you will need 1 ampoule per 600 ml of water;
• in case of spider mite damage, it is recommended to dilute 1 ampoule per 2500 ml of liquid;
• when infected with thrips, the contents of 1 ampoule are diluted in half a liter of water.

Mainly the leaves of the affected plant are processed with a frequency of at least 4 times per knock. The duration of the procedure is about 10 days (depending on the degree of pest infestation).

Orchids are often infested with thrips that live on the flowers of the plant. In this case, Fitoverm will be ineffective. Since it is a poisonous substance, it is strictly forbidden to process the buds. If the roots or shedding have struck ticks and aphids, then this drug is simply irreplaceable.

The processing procedure is as follows:

• the plant is taken out of a plastic container, which is further treated with disinfectant solutions. It is best to then place it in a new pot, this guarantees the complete absence of pests;
• to process the roots, they must be thoroughly cleaned of substrate residues and placed in Fitoverm solution, which is prepared in a proportion of 1 g of the drug per 1000 ml;
• after that, the root system must be thoroughly dried. In this case, it is very important not to overdry them; it is recommended to periodically moisturize;
• repeat the treatment after 7-10 days.

Attention! After disembarking in a new container, you will need to carry out this procedure 2 more times. It is best to add the solution directly to the substrate, and not to the leaves (in this case, it can harm the orchid).

In case of damage to the plant with thrips, breeding is recommended based on the proportion of 2 ml Fitoverm per 0.2 liters of water.

How to use the drug in conjunction with others? It can be used together with some pyrethroid and insecticidal drugs and fertilizers (Zircon, Epin, etc.). In this case, it is very important to ensure that no sludge flocs form in the mixed suspension. In this case, it is strictly forbidden to use such a solution.

Despite the fact that Fitoverm is a natural drug, it must be used in the correct proportions, otherwise an overdose will lead to the death of the orchid. For preparation with a solution, it is recommended to use boiled and filtered water at room temperature.

You cannot store the finished suspension, the next day it will simply be ineffective. Therefore, it is recommended to use a freshly prepared solution.

It is not recommended to process the plant at the flowering stage. This will not bring any effect, but, on the contrary, can only harm. It is best to spray the leaves, flower stalks and process the roots with the substrate.

Each package of Fitoverm biological product contains instructions on the timing and frequency of treatments. The instructions also provide dosages and dilution methods. The ampoules contain a concentrated emulsion, which should be dissolved in water immediately before spraying the plants. It is necessary to adhere to the manufacturer's recommendations, then the result will be close to the expected effect.

To obtain a working solution, Fitoverm emulsion is mixed with a certain volume of water in a special sprayer for indoor flowers or a spray gun adapted for these purposes. First, a part of the water is poured into the container, the ampoule with the emulsion is opened, the liquid is stirred until it is completely dissolved. Then add water to the volume specified in the instructions for the preparation.

Thank you very much, Svetlana, can you tell us how to properly spray a violet? Just on top of the leaves or each leaf from all sides?

• Login or register to post comments

I do the treatments with a regular garden 6 liter sprayer. I put it on a fine spray and process it so that it flows from the leaves and gets into the pots, at the same time such a kind of preventive watering. With this spraying, it turns out to be completely wet. But I think you probably have a spray bottle on the bottle, so wear gloves and treat it with the prepared solution from all sides.

I agree with Svetlana. You need to carry out the processing three times with an interval of 7 days. It would be nice to alternate drugs. You can use Neoron, Akarin.

I also diluted 2ml. phytoverma for 200 ml. water, but it is more often used for prevention, and for treatment it is rather weak. Now I do not use spraying, it is much more effective and safer for others to immerse the outlet in the prepared solution. And I definitely add zoo shampoo. After such a bath, the violets look great and there are no untreated areas left.

I see the message is old, but maybe you can answer: for how long do you dip the socket in the solution? And is it not necessary to wash off the remaining solution after a while?

Thank you, for this time I found and bought. Have you noticed such an effect that the buds bought out according to the specified recipe bloom hard and twisted? On several bushes I see this picture. Before that, everything was normal.

How to breed Fitoverm and method of application

Initially, the solution is prepared in a small amount of water. While stirring the product, you need to add liquid to the required volume, which varies depending on the disease and the type of plant. It is necessary to prepare the solution only if it will be used on the same day.

Dilution of the solution

You cannot prepare a solution from Fitoverm and other chemicals, but it is permissible to mix it with biostimulants. Before using the resulting solution, you should check the compatibility of the mixed preparations: if a precipitate appears in the solution, the preparations are incompatible. Color processing can be done with a manual or mechanical spray gun.

Thrips

Thrips are the most common pests of ornamental crops.To combat them, it is necessary to dissolve 2 ml of the drug in 200 ml of water. The flower must be sprayed with a spray bottle. You can also wipe the leaves of the plant with a sponge soaked in the solution.

The frequency of treatments depends on the size, age of the flower and the number of parasites on it. On average, 4 sprays will be enough to get rid of insects. The processing interval is 5-8 days. The drug begins to work after 3-5 days. After the last spraying, the flower can be treated with Epin firming agent.

Spider mite

To remove the spider mite with Fitoverm, you will need to dissolve the ampoule in a liter of water. The maximum number of plant treatments is 4.

The procedure must be repeated after a week or 10 days. Orchid and ficus leaves must be wiped with a cotton swab dipped in a solution, the rest of the house plants can be sprayed from a spray bottle.

Aphids are most often found on indoor roses. To remove insects, two capsules of the agent (8 ml) diluted in 1 liter of liquid are enough.

A solution of this concentration is suitable for all indoor plants on which aphids have appeared. Insects die in 2-3 days. It is required to carry out 2-3 procedures at intervals of a week.

Whitefly

To kill flying insects, the volume of the liquid and chemical must be increased. Therefore, the whitefly solution must be prepared from 1.5 liters of water and 6 ml of insecticide. To remove the insect, two sprays are enough. The interval between procedures is a week. The effect of the drug is noticeable after three days.

What is it and what it is used for

Concentrated emulsion, has a wide spectrum of action, is used to combat ticks and insects. It is sold in packages of 2 and 4 ml (glass or plastic ampoule), 20 and 50 ml (bottle), 5 liters (canister). Has a strong chemical odor. The color of the emulsion is yellowish. Effective against:

• ticks
• aphids,
• caterpillars,
• thrips,
• scale insects,
• whitefly,
• sucker,
• leaf rollers,
• Colorado potato beetle,
• pathways,
• worms.

Mechanisms of action:

1. Contact. The insect dies from contact of its surface with the agent after 3-5 days.
2. Intestinal. The poisonous substance penetrates into the stomach of the parasite, after 10 hours, paralysis of the digestive system occurs. As a result, the insect dies.

The effect after treatment lasts up to 14 days. Thus, if the procedure is carried out twice, the orchid will be protected for a month.

Insects that gnaw parts of the orchid will die within 2-3 days. Sucking pests will die in 5-6 days.

How to properly handle crops and plants?

It is necessary to prepare a working solution before processing cultures. You need to dilute the drug in a container that is not intended for cooking. Wash the container thoroughly after use. Experts recommend using disposable dishes to dilute the drug and choosing the right weather for spraying.

Processing is not carried out on rainy days or in high humidity. The optimum air temperature is between 25 and 34 degrees Celsius. It is best to spray plants with a spray bottle. During work, it is necessary to control the even distribution of the product. This treatment can be carried out on abundantly growing plants.

The leaves of indoor plants must be thoroughly wiped with the prepared solution on each side. If the product is not completely used up, then the remains can be poured onto the soil in a pot. This is due to the fact that when spraying the solution in an enclosed space, vapors or splashes can enter the lungs. Fitoverm should be used at least four times, with a break of 7-8 days.

Having positive feedback from florists and summer residents, the product has been used for several years to combat pests.When the first signs of infection are found, it is recommended to immediately process flowers and plants. If you follow the instructions, you can achieve a positive result in a short period.

Pest prevention

Proper care of the orchid will protect it from pest infestation. Rules:

1. Optimal watering. It is individual for each plant. An indicator that it is time to water the plant, the silvery color of the roots. A useful technique is used: a wooden stick is placed in the ground. If it is dry when removed from the substrate, the orchid is watered. If midges are in the soil, the plant is poured.
2. When buying a new orchid, it will be kept separate from other indoor plants for a month. If signs of diseases and pests are not found, the pot is rearranged to the right place.

1. Leaves, buds, flowers, roots are periodically examined. If signs of insects are found, the orchid is isolated and treated.
2. The air around the orchid should be humidified. Dry environments are popular with thrips.
3. The scale insects like the excess of nitrogen in the soil and settle on weakened plants. Fertilize the plant only when necessary, following the instructions.
4. When self-manufacturing soil, its elements are calcined in an oven at 150C for 5-10 minutes, boiled. You can buy ready-made substrate or its elements in a flower shop.
5. An orchid pot is chosen transparent, with smooth walls. So the grower will be able to observe the roots, notice the presence of diseases or pests in time and start treatment.

Common questions

Is re-treatment with Fitoverm obligatory?

Re-processing is necessary. Its maximum frequency for indoor plants is 4 times a year.

What time of day should processing be carried out?

Plants should be sprayed with insecticide in the evening, as sunlight accelerates the decomposition of the product.

Will the preparation kill insect eggs?

The active substance of the drug has an enteric effect on insects, therefore it kills only adults.

How long does the product last when diluted with water?

Fitoverm diluted with liquid must be used within 2-3 hours, otherwise it will lose its properties.

Fitoverm is an effective analogue of poisonous insecticides. It is characterized by low toxicity, and insects do not develop addiction to the substance. The product can be used during the flowering period and at high air temperatures. The insecticide is used in horticulture not only for the treatment of indoor flowers, but also for fruit crops and trees.

Advantages and disadvantages

The drug has a number of advantages and disadvantages. Pros:

1. Low level of toxicity.
2. Pests do not get used to the product with occasional use.
3. Economical consumption in comparison with analogues.
4. Does not accumulate in the external environment, quickly disintegrates. When watering the soil, the drug completely disintegrates in a day, on the leaves - after 3 hours.
5. High efficiency at the initial stage of infection.
6. Can be used at high temperatures and during orchid flowering.
7. Fast effect.
8. Does not affect the growth and flowering of the orchid.

Minuses:

1. Low efficiency with a strong spread of pests.
2. Do not kill parasite eggs.
3. Re-treatment is required to get rid of insects completely.
4. Does not linger on foliage, so the product is mixed with soap.
5. High cost in comparison with analogues.
6. It is impossible to combine the treatment with "Fitoverm" and other drugs.
7. Dangerous to aquatic organisms, so the remaining solution must not be poured into the sink.
8. Not safe for bees.

General characteristics and composition

This drug is a contact and intestinal insecticide. It is so safe that when processing indoor flowers, they do not need to be taken out of the house. The St. Petersburg Research Institute of Plant Protection was engaged in checking the effectiveness of the product and received excellent results.

For ease of use, bioinsecticide is produced in glass ampoules of 2, 4 and 6 ml. For use in the garden, there are more voluminous forms of release.

Fitoverm in ampoules

Fitoverm successfully fights against various types of pests affecting plants, such as:

• thrips;
• leaflets;
• mealybugs;
• aphids;
• spider mites;
• sciarids;
• springtails;
• moths;
• scabbards.

The naturalness of the product is explained by the fact that it was created on the basis of the metabolic products of soil microorganisms. Decomposes in the ground 25-30 hours after use. On a plant, the decay process is slightly slower, within 48–52 hours. Therefore, a one-time treatment is often not enough.

Another plus of the drug: it does not accumulate in plants. It can be used to process violets, balsams, orchids and other indoor flowers. If necessary, you can spray them and seedlings.

The mechanism of action on parasites

This insectoacaricide enters the parasite's body through the skin or with food. The main component of Fitoverma, aversectin C, causes paralysis in pests. After 8 hours after treatment, they lose their ability to feed, and after a few days they die. Ticks and sucking insects stop feeding a little later, after 12 hours. Their death occurs in a week.

After the first treatment, only adult insects are destroyed. Pupae, larvae and nymphs remain. When they are able to feed on their own, it is necessary to carry out another spraying.

Use of Fitoverm against pests

Fitoverm retains its protective effect for 3 weeks - the period before the appearance of adults. Moreover, the high temperature significantly increases its efficiency. It is not necessary to take out the plants for processing in the loggia or on the terrace, this will reduce the time of action of the insecticide to 7 days.

Since aversectin does not accumulate in the plant and is not absorbed by the roots, it is not necessary to water the flowers with Fitoverm. However, some growers prefer to pour the remains of the solution into the soil so as not to pollute the wastewater with it and to affect the pests lurking in the ground.

The prepared solution must be used immediately, it cannot be stored due to the rapid decomposition of the main component.

Application rules

Using Fitoverm for indoor plants, instructions for use will help if you read it carefully. Only by carefully adhering to the recommendations indicated on the packaging, you can achieve the desired effect.

• fertilizers;
• pyrethroids (synthetic insecticides);
• organophosphate insecticides (Aktellik, Fufanon).

Fitoverm cannot be used in a mixture with chemical pesticides.

To obtain a solution, an emulsion of the drug from an ampoule (2 ml) is added to a certain amount of water.

The dosage depends on which pests the treatment is directed against:

• aphids - 1 ampoule per 250 ml of water;
• thrips - 1 ampoule per 200 ml of water;
• spider mites - 1 ampoule per 1 liter of water;
• other pests - 1 ampoule per 500 ml of water.

The dose is adjusted for a 2 ml ampoule.

First, half of the water norm is poured into the container, then Fitoverm is added. The solution is shaken thoroughly. After that, pour the remaining amount of water and stir again. The plant is then completely sprayed, including the lower leaves, flowers and, if any, fruits.

Spraying plants

In the case when the infestation is not strong, the flowers can be left unaffected, since processing can ruin their appearance. Some growers moisten a cloth or sponge in the solution and wipe the leaves on both sides.

Re-spraying is carried out 4 days after the first. If the plants are heavily infested, it may take up to 4 treatments at weekly intervals. In the summer, prophylactic spraying of indoor plants with "Fitoverm" is carried out.

If a solution remains after treatment, it must be poured down the drain.

How to determine the presence of parasites

Examine the leaves on both sides and their axils, flowers and buds. The orchid is taken out of the pot, the substrate particles are carefully removed, the roots are washed in lukewarm water.

The healthy color of the root system is greenish-pearl - before watering, green - after it. The roots are thick, elastic, smooth. If black, brown, brown spots, soft slimy areas, yellowing are found, then the orchid is sick.

The damaged areas are cut off with a sharp sterile instrument, the sections are sprinkled with cinnamon, crushed activated carbon. If signs of pests have been identified in the soil, the plant is transplanted into a new substrate.

Can blooming orchids be processed?

Fitoverm can be used to treat orchids at any stage of development. However, the following factors need to be considered:

• the drug is ineffective against thrips during flowering and bud formation;
• root processing is very stressful, and the orchid can shed buds and flowers;
