In addition to weeds, prolonged rains, cold, diseases, etc., insects become an annual problem for gardeners. Protection of potatoes from pest beetles should be carried out even at the stage of planting tubers. This is the only way to protect garden culture not only from underground, but also from winged insects that begin to destroy plants immediately after the appearance of the first leaves.

What drug to use and its beneficial properties
Folk remedies for pest control are ineffective, and their use takes a lot of time and physical strength. To protect the crop from the invasion of the bear, the attack of the wireworm larvae and the Colorado potato beetle, gardeners often use chemicals. Their action is effective, but not all drugs are equally safe for humans. If the site is treated with an incorrectly selected chemical, then you can not only get rid of the beetles, but also harm your own health.
Safe for humans, but destructive for pests, is Comandor +. In addition to providing plant protection for a period of 50 days, the insecticide has a number of other advantages:
- The volume of 1 package of the drug is enough to process about 100 kg of planting material. This amount will be enough to plant a plot of 2-3 acres.
- Due to the application of the agent to the tuber, pests cannot harm the planting material from the first day of planting the vegetable crop.
- Resistant to external factors. The drug does not lose its protective properties under the influence of sunlight or high humidity.
- Binds salts of heavy metals and prevents them from penetrating into plant cells.
- The insecticide is suitable for killing various types of insects, which saves time and money.
- Increases the culture's resistance to stress against negative environmental influences.
- The substances that make up the Commander + do not cause addiction, i.e. insects do not develop resistance to this agent (even after several years of use).
- The preparation contains a humic component, which is a growth stimulator, therefore Commander + promotes tuber germination. This substance does not allow nitrates to accumulate in potato tubers.
- Increases productivity by 20%. Accelerates maturation.
- Increases the immunity of a garden plant, making it resistant to various diseases.
How Commander + works
The drug Komandor + consists of 2 bottles (25 ml each). One contains a substance that protects against pests, and the second contains a growth stimulant. Before processing the planting material, it is necessary to dissolve the contents of 2 bottles in 1 liter of water. After thoroughly mixing the potato tubing agent will be ready. It is poured into a spray bottle and sprayed with planting material. It is recommended to irrigate potatoes 3-4 hours before starting work on the site.
The drug gets on the peel and then penetrates the tuber. It has a systemic effect. As it grows, it penetrates the stems, and then new tubers, providing protection not only to the planting material, but also to the crop. The substances included in the Commander + do not have a negative effect on the human body, but destroy the nervous system of pests. After eating plants that have been treated with an insecticide, the beetles show symptoms of paralysis.
Due to the disintegration process of chemical elements, the protective effect of the drug stops. Therefore, consumers who doubt that Commander + does not have a negative effect on the human body can be calm. At the time of harvest, there will be no traces of the insecticide in the potato tubers.
Commander + is recommended not only for processing tubers. They can fight pests after the potatoes have sprouted. To treat the site, the solution is diluted according to the manufacturer's instructions, and then the green part of the plant is irrigated). It is recommended to work in protective clothing and in calm weather.
