It is used against another dangerous pest of potatoes - wireworm.

The drug is recommended to be used in two ways. The first method is the treatment of seed potatoes from the Colorado potato beetle. The second method is tillage at planting from a wireworm. That and another method proved to be effective in compliance with the instructions.
Preparation of the working solution for the treatment of tubers
Seed potatoes need to be scattered in a single layer on a tarpaulin or plastic wrap. The thinner the layer of root crops, the easier it is to spray them evenly.
Prepare a working solution. To do this, take a small( not food) packaging. Pour into it 10 ml of the drug , dilute it with a small amount of water.
After dissolving the suspension in water, pour the resulting solution into the sprayer tank, add 1.4 liters of water .Stir the working fluid several times before use.
Processing
Processing of tubers should be carried out on the day of preparation of the solution Processing of tubers should be carried out on the day of preparation of the working solution .Store an aqueous solution of the suspension can not. Spray seed potatoes evenly, occasionally turning it over.
Before planting, it should dry out. The tool forms on the peel a thin, durable film. When putting potatoes in the hole, the film is not sprinkled. The wells must immediately fall asleep ground.
According to gardeners, the resulting volume( 1.4 l) of the solution should be enough for for 125 tubers. Diluted disinfectant should be used throughout the day. It can not be stored. To prepare a smaller volume of the disinfectant, you can use the cap from the bottle as a measure. It contains 2.5 ml of suspension.
Tillage solution during planting
Pre-plant tillage is carried out on a field contaminated with wireworms. Prepare a solution of another concentration. For 10 liters of water you need 4 ml of the drug. This volume is enough for processing 1 weave when planting potatoes in the wells or furrows.
One 10 ml vial is sufficient to prepare 25 liters of the working solution, which can be treated with 2.5 weaves of potato field.
Soil etching
First, prepare the wells( grooves) for planting. The next step is to prepare the required volume of the disinfectant and refill it with the sprayer. Pneumatic garden sprayers, which include a telescopic hose, are easy to use.
For soil dressing it is necessary to use a sprayer with a telescopic armboat. must be treated with each well( furrow).Spread the seed potatoes and cover it with earth.
Many gardeners of combine the processing of tubers and soil .First, planting material is laid out in the wells, then it is cultivated and the ground at the same time.
Description of the drug
Taboo is a modern preparation, it contains the active substance , imidacloprid ( synthetic neonicotinoid) and a number of excipients that contribute to high-quality processing of seed material.
Treated seeds turn red When processing seed potatoes with , a strong coating is formed in the form of a thin film , which does not crumble after drying and is colored red.
Indication helps to control the volume of treated planting material. Raw tubers have a natural color, treated - red.
Provide a comfortable and high-quality processing of planting material substances that are part of the emulsion:
- Signal dye.
- Adhesive.
- Antifreeze.
- Special dispersants.
- Thickener.
Principle of action
Imidacloprid active substance - poison for the Colorado potato beetle and wireworm. It is a synthetic analogue of natural preparations made on the basis of tobacco.
Imidacloprid - poison for the Colorado potato beetle and wireworm. To reduce the population of the Colorado potato beetle, is enough to pre-sow the seed. This significantly reduces the time to fight pest.
How long to wait for the impact and protection period of the potato
Tubers that have been treated with the solution absorb imidacloprid. During the growth of potato stalks, he and the juice gets into the leaves and tops.
The drug begins to work immediately after planting , and protects the seedlings of potatoes from the first wave of the pest. Colorado potato beetle is less dangerous for stunted plants.
How it helps from the Colorado potato beetle and the wireworm
The Colorado beetles and their larvae feed on the young leaves and shoots of .Imidacloprid goes into their stomachs along with the sap of the plant. Watch poisoning effect can be after a day. The insects nervous system is blocked, they die.
The poisoning effect can be observed after a day. The treatment of holes and tubers during planting protects the potato bushes from the larvae of the clicked beetle( wireworm).The insecticide from planting to harvesting discourages these larvae from young potato tubers.
Climate and weather conditions do not affect the effect of the drug. It is proved in practice. Taboos were tested against wireworms in different regions and everywhere it proved to be effective.
Tests were conducted in the fields:
- Chuvashia.
- Udmurtia.
- Kaliningrad region.
- In the suburbs.
- Leningrad region.
The difference between Tabu and Tabu VSK
Tabu and Tabu VSK The Augustus seed treatment Tabu seed and Tabu VSK is manufactured by the company. She specializes in the production of pesticides for agricultural enterprises and personal farms.
Release form - water-suspension concentrate .For industrial use packaged in 5 l and 1 l canisters. For summer residents, VSK Taboo is produced in convenient small bottles, the capacity of which is 10 ml. This volume is designed for single use.
Compatibility with potato varieties and
products Not all potato varieties can be treated with Taboo treater. It is not recommended to treat early-ripening varieties of potatoes, in which the ripening period of root crops is less than the period of insecticide.
Taboo does not have antifungal properties, but it can be combined with some modern fungicides:
- Vial Trust;
- Vitaros;
- Bunker;
- TMTD VSK.
It is possible to combine Taboo and antifungal drug Vitaros After adding the fungicide, the Taboo solution should be thoroughly mixed. The following preparation to add after final dissolution of the previous means.
Harm to health
For humans, this drug is toxic .Preparation of the solution, dressing of tubers, planting of treated seed potatoes should be carried out, observing precautions.
Planting potatoes with gloves with gloves to prevent skin contact of the hands with the dried preparation.

Which is better Prestige or Taboo
For the fight against wireworm before the appearance of the insecticide Taboo gardeners used the drug Prestige .It is successfully used now. Potato breeders are actively engaged in discussions about which drug is better.
