Mospilan is a product belonging to a new class of insecticides - neonicotinoids. It has an effective contact and gastric effect against harmful insects from the family Lepidoptera, Hemiptera, Coleoptera, and Homoptera. Mospilan can be used to process various vegetable crops, as well as sunflowers, winter wheat, apple trees, pears, citrus trees and other crops.

Characteristics of Mospilan

The active ingredient of Mospilan, developed by Japanese scientists, is acetamiprid, the content of which in the insecticide is 20%.

Mospilan insecticide is presented in the form of a water-soluble powder, which is packaged in bags of different weights - from 2.5 g to 1 kg.

Mechanism of action

Mospilan, characterized by excellent systemic and translaminar action, is absorbed by the plant in a short time and spread to all its parts, including untreated ones.

After treatment, pests die as a result of direct contact with the insecticide, as well as by eating plant parts poisoned with Mospilan solution.

The insecticidal effect of Mospilan is manifested through its action on nervous system insects, which leads to severe nervous overexcitation, paralysis of insects, and then their further death.

Depending on the type of insect, the insecticide can have a poisonous effect on eggs, larvae and adults.

Advantages of Mospilan

• Has a contact and systemic effect;
• Destroys pests regardless of the development phase: eggs, larvae, adult insects;
• Does not cause resistance in both the adult pest and its larvae;
• Effective even with high temperature air, and therefore can be used even in the hottest months;
• It is not phytotoxic, odorless;
• It has good compatibility with literally all pesticides and insecticides, with the exception of only those that, when combined, make the solution highly alkaline (sulfur-containing products, Bordeaux mixture)
• The plant protection period is 15-20 days;
• Does not pose a danger to humans. Also non-toxic to bees, fish, earthworms and mammals.

Instructions for use

Plants are treated with a freshly prepared solution at a time when the number of pests reaches the economic threshold of harmfulness. The effect of Mospilan is visible within an hour after spraying.

Compatibility

Mospilan can be combined with almost all pesticides and insecticides. The only exceptions are those drugs that, when combined, give a highly alkaline reaction. Such substances include, for example, Bordeaux mixture and sulfur-containing preparations. However, before mixing even approved drugs with Mospilan, make sure they are compatible by combining them in a small dosage. If flakes or sediment appear as a result of the reaction, the drugs should not be combined.

Toxicity

Mospilan belongs to hazard class 3, which means that it is moderately toxic to humans, warm-blooded animals, fish, bees, bumblebees and earthworms. Since it is, although slightly, still toxic to pollinators, it is advisable to treat plants with the drug early in the morning or after sunset, when bees are not flying.

Precautionary measures

• When searching plants with Mospilan, it is necessary to wear a gown, a respirator, safety glasses and rubber gloves.
• When finished, wash your face and hands with soap and rinse your mouth with water or a weak soda solution.
• Empty Mospilan packaging is prohibited from being thrown into water bodies or used for any purpose.
• It must be burned, being careful not to inhale smoke.

First aid

• If the drug gets into your eyes, they should be rinsed while open with plenty of running water.
• If the drug gets into digestive system You should take activated carbon at the rate of 1 tablet per 10 kg of body weight and wash down the tablets with two to three glasses of water, after which you must induce vomiting.
• If the drug gets on the skin, blot it with a cloth or cotton wool, being careful not to rub it, and wash the area with soapy water.
• Providing first aid does not relieve you from the need to see a doctor! There is no antidote for Mospilan, so treatment of poisoning with the drug is symptomatic.

Storage of Mospilan

Mospilan must be stored in a dry place, inaccessible to children and animals, at a temperature of -15 to +30 degrees. Do not keep it near food or medicines. The working solution cannot be stored; it must be used on the same day it was prepared.

Planting any crop on the site is only half the battle. It is very important to do everything to preserve the future harvest, protecting it from pests and various diseases. Plants can be protected in different ways: creating unfavorable conditions for the appearance of pests, applying fertilizers or increasing the protective properties of vegetables and fruits. Often agronomists resort to chemical protection using the systemic insecticide Mospilan. The drug was invented back in 1989.

The product “Mospilan” is popular among farmers to protect crops from pests

Composition and action

The active ingredient in this product is acetamiprid 200 g/kg from the group of neonicotinoids. This substance is very effective and has a systemic effect. Can be used in case of insects at any stage of growth, be they eggs, larvae or already formed individuals.

The drug Mospilan is also available in granules; the instructions for use are very simple. Plants can be protected without spraying; you just need to distribute special granules over the soil surface.

If the product is used in the form of a spray, then after spraying it active substance begins to spread throughout all parts of the plant. Insects will quickly die if they begin to eat crops treated with the drug. Mospilan effectively destroys the central nervous system of pests. After treatment, the protective function lasts up to 20 days.

Terms of use

It is very important to correctly use Mospilan insecticide, instructions for which are usually always included. The drug is first diluted in water (2.5 g per 1 liter), then another 10 liters are added. This solution concentration is suitable for indoor plants.

One sachet of product is enough to treat a fairly large area - up to one hectare. But for each crop a certain dosage is observed:

Combination with other means

There is good compatibility of Mospilan with other insecticides for plant protection. But there are exceptions - these are products with a strong alkaline reaction when mixed. These include Bordeaux mixture and preparations that contain sulfur.

"Mospilan" can be used together with other products

Before use, you should carefully study the composition, as well as recommendations for use. Usually the instructions indicate with which drugs a particular drug can be combined. In any case, the presence of sulfur already indicates a prohibition of combination with Mospilan, even if this is not stated in the manual.

Before mixing any drugs, it is strongly recommended to ensure their compatibility so as not to harm the plants and avoid unwanted chemical reactions.

Advantages of Mospilan

The drug is widely used, as it compares favorably with many insecticides and pesticides. Its main advantages include:

1. Versatility. The drug is able to cope with pests of both vegetable and grain crops, and melons, as well as flowers and fruit trees. Mospilan is also used to protect ornamental plants. At the same time, the drug is not dangerous for pollinating insects - bumblebees, bees.
2. No phytotoxicity. Biological effectiveness lasts for a long time - up to 20 days, and does not cause addiction among pests.
3. Reduced application rate.
4. Quick results. It can be noticed within an hour after the spraying procedure.
5. Compatibility. Compatible with all non-alkaline pesticides.
6. Studies have shown that Mospilan can be used even during the flowering period.

Security and storage

This type of insecticide is classified as hazard class 3. It does not pose a threat to bumblebees, bees, fish, or earthworms. But this is not a reason not to be vigilant when using it. The packaging of some manufacturers even states that it is prohibited to use the product in water protection zones.

When working with the drug, you should never forget about protective equipment. You can protect yourself by:

• respirator;
• safety glasses;
• gloves;
• special clothes.

Do not smoke, eat or drink water while spraying. After the procedure, you need to remove all protective equipment and wash your face and hands with soap.

Follow safety rules when working with Mospilan

If it happens that the drug ends up in a small amount in a person’s stomach, then it is recommended to drink activated charcoal (five to six tablets). You can also artificially induce vomiting and seek help from a doctor. In case of contact with skin, wipe the affected area with cotton wool and then wash with soap. If the eyes are affected, rinse them with running water, trying to keep them open.

The drug is recommended to be used in the early morning or evening. The weather is also taken into account: if it is expected to rain, it is better to postpone the spraying procedure. Empty Mospilan packaging is not thrown away with regular garbage, but burned.

Insect repellent should be stored in a place where children and pets cannot reach it. There should be no food products in the neighborhood. When diluted, the solution must not be stored for storage - it must be used immediately for its intended purpose. The optimal temperature for storage is from -15 to +25…30°C. If you do not follow the rules, the effectiveness of the drug may decrease.

Mospilan has many advantages, It’s not for nothing that many gardeners choose this remedy who want to protect their harvest. And the best proof of its effectiveness is the safety of the planted crop on the site.

Active ingredient: 200 g/kg.
Description of insecticide: The active ingredient of the drug is acetamiprid (class of acetamides). The effect of the drug on pests unique and different from currently used pesticides: acetomiprid interacts with the nicotine acetylcholine receptor of the postsynaptic membrane as a competitor to acetylcholine. But unlike acetylcholine, the active substance of the drug Mospilan - acitomiprid is not destroyed, which causes a transmission disorder nerve impulse through the synapse and the insect dies from severe nervous overexcitation.

• has a systemic and contact effect and is able to spread throughout the plant. Therefore, the effect of the drug against the pest also manifests itself on untreated areas of plants.
• the result is visible after 1 hour, and the period of protective action of the drug is up to 21 days
• thanks to the new mechanism of action, harmful objects do not show resistance to it
• maintains high biological effectiveness at normal and elevated temperatures
• does not have phytotoxicity
• low toxicity for warm-blooded animals, hazard class – 3
• low toxicity towards pollinators - bees and bumblebees, safety factor > 3
• compatible with most pesticides used, with the exception of highly alkaline ones
• does not cake during storage, does not change its properties when temperature fluctuates
• the cost of processing one hundred square meters of potatoes with Mospilan is less than the cost of 1 kg of potatoes

It should, however, be taken into account that MOSPILAN has a high insecticidal effect against certain types of entomophages. For example, after treating plants with it, encarsia imagoes die, although the pupae in mummies remain viable. It is not recommended to use a biological control method in combination with treatment with MOSPILAN.

Directions for use:

Norm applications drug (l/ha, kg/ha, l/t, kg/t)	Culture, processed object	Harmful object	Method, processing time, application features	Waiting period (number of treatments)	Deadlines for manual (mechanized) work
		Bug harmful turtle
		Bread ground beetle	Spraying seedlings
	Wheat, barley	Bread ground beetle, grain flies, striped bread flea beetle	Seed treatment. Working fluid consumption - up to 10 l/t
	Protected soil tomatoes and cucumbers	Greenhouse whitefly	Spraying during the growing season
	Potato	Colorado beetle
		Potato ladybug
	Pastures, areas infested with locusts, wild vegetation	Locusts	Spraying during the development of larvae
0.5-0.8 g/10 l of water (L)	Potato	Colorado beetle	Spraying during the growing season. Working fluid consumption - 5 l/100 m 2
2-2.4 g/10 l of water (L)		Potato ladybug

Mechanism of action: Acetamiprid that enters the insect binds to the acetylcholine receptor on the postsynaptic membrane. Acetamiprid causes nervous excitement, similar to the excitation caused by acetylcholine. Acetamiprid is not affected by acetylcholinesterase, which under normal conditions breaks down acetylcholine and continues to cause nervous excitation. As a result, the insect experiences convulsions and paralysis, leading to death.

Advantages: It has a systemic and contact effect and is able to spread throughout the plant. Therefore, the effect of the drug against the pest also manifests itself on untreated areas of plants. Thanks to the new mechanism of action, harmful objects do not show resistance to it. Maintains high biological effectiveness at normal and elevated temperatures. The period of protective action of the drug is 14-21 days.

Mospilan is an insecticidal drug that is used to combat harmful insects. The product is very effective for protecting garden crops: apple trees, pears, as well as wheat, tomatoes, cucumbers, corn, cabbage and sunflowers.

Action

The drug is characterized by a very rapid effect on pests. Within an hour after application, insect activity noticeably decreases. The poison acts in a contact-intestinal manner, causing paralysis and damaging the nervous system of pests. Within 24 hours the insects die.
The protective effect of Mospilan lasts about three weeks. It is important to emphasize that the drug is absolutely non-toxic to garden plants and soil.
