Description of the drug
This drug belongs to the class of insecto-fungo-stimulants. This means that it has a wide range of actions, while it helps most vegetable crops, as well as flowers, shrubs and trees.
The composition is as follows: fipronil (50 g/l), acetamiprid (100 g/l) and surfactants.
The 3 in 1 cucumber rescuer contains three ampoules in the package - a fungicide, an insectoacaricide and a growth stimulator. Each performs its own functions.
Fungicide
Provides reliable protection against bacterial and viral diseases.
If we are talking about diseases of cucumbers, then an ampoule with fungicide (2 g) copes well with:
- powdery mildew and downy mildew;
- olive or brown spotting;
- late blight;
- anthracnose;
- field mosaic;
- various bacterioses;
- Alternaria blight;
- sclerotinia (white rot).
Insectoacaricide
Almost immediately destroys pests. So, using an ampoule with insectoacaricide (1.2 g) you can quickly get rid of:
- spider mite;
- melon aphid;
- cucumber mosquito;
- wireworm;
- sprout fly;
- root-knot nematode, etc.
Growth stimulator
Emulsion (1.2 g) promotes the development of a powerful root system, activates plant growth and helps increase their productivity.
In addition to ampoules with emulsion, Rescue 3 in 1 goes on sale in the form of powder in sticks (3 g).
Preparation of the solution
Application is simple, even a beginner can handle it. Regardless of what form the drug will be in, it is easy to use after reading the instructions. A complex and long-lasting effect occurs due to the fact that the active substances enter the organs of the treated plant crop and then spread throughout the entire seedling. As a result, cucumber juice is saturated with acaricide and insecticide. The plant becomes dangerous for parasites and viruses, which die when they eat the plant.
On a note!
The drug not only kills pests and treats diseases, but also leads to the full development of seedlings. The rescuer can protect not only cucumber varieties, but also, for example, potatoes.
To prepare the medicinal solution:
- The ampoules must be carefully opened and their contents poured into 10 liters of water.
- Mix everything well with a wooden or plastic stick.
- This volume is enough to process 1 hundred square meters of plantings.
- When using powder, the package is diluted in water, 20 liters are needed. This amount is enough for 2 acres.
Advantages and disadvantages
The Cucumber Rescuer is an extremely useful remedy. Allows you to solve a wide range of problems, ranging from pest control to increasing the yield of cucumbers.
At the same time, it operates equally effectively in all regions of Russia - regardless of the specific climate. This is its big advantage.
The drug will help get rid of pests
Other benefits worth mentioning:
- universal in use;
- has the property of evenly covering the entire surface of the plant;
- does not cause addiction among pests;
- destroys adult pests, their eggs and larvae;
- non-phytotoxic;
- helps to achieve plant resistance to bacteria and viruses: new shoots, leaves, ovaries and young cucumbers are much less affected by infection;
- increases productivity.
Rescuer can be used in combination with other chemicals (fungicides, pyrethroids).
Extended validity period - from 3 to 4 weeks.
The product begins to act immediately after contact with cucumbers, which helps to minimize plant damage by pests and diseases.
Flaws
These include:
- toxicity;
- long period of waiting for results.
In the first case, if you follow safety rules (as when working with any chemical), there will be no unpleasant consequences.
In the second, a long waiting time does not mean that the drug “does not work.” It performs its functions, but the result will be noticeable no earlier than after 3 weeks.
Instructions for use
Powder or ampoules for vegetable crops have a complex effect. But to achieve success, you should read the instructions before processing the plantings. The abstract includes useful information:
- Mode of application.
- Period of action of the drug.
- List of plants for which it can be used.
The drug is good for protecting not only cucumber crops, but also other plants. Using this “medicine” is quite simple. Dilute the drug in water. After pouring the product, it is important to stir very thoroughly. The prepared substance must be treated with the plantings.
Advice!
When using Rescuer, it is important to remember that the duration of the drug is approximately 30 days (+/- week).
The abstract provides for compliance with protective measures. While using the product, wear gloves, a mask, goggles, and a protective raincoat. It is very important to close your eyes, mouth, and skin.
It is necessary to work with the solution carefully. After finishing processing the seedlings, you should thoroughly wash your face and hands with soap.
It is forbidden to be distracted by a smoke break, eat or drink. To ensure that the Cucumber Rescuer does not lose its beneficial qualities, it must be stored only in closed packaging.
How to use
Frequency of application – maximum 2 times per season.
Instructions for using Rescuer are usually written directly on the packaging; when processing cucumbers, strictly adhere to the recommended proportions.
Also consider 2 points.
- The plant is sprayed generously in dry and windless weather. If the forecast is for rain, it is better to postpone treatment.
- If processing is planned before harvesting cucumbers, it should be carried out at least 20 days before this event.
The shelf life of the finished solution is short, so it must be used immediately.
Conditions for growing cucumbers in greenhouses and open ground
Parameters for growing greenhouse cucumbers that must be observed:
- temperature regime,
- air and soil humidity,
- fertilizing,
- loosening,
- mulching.
Temperature
The root system of cucumbers is vulnerable and cannot tolerate even short-term frosts. Low temperatures can lead to poor growth, disease of roots and root collars, and even complete death of seedlings. The minimum value for the period of planting seeds is 16 g, although cucumbers will quite survive a short-term decrease to 8 g.
Important! When planting plants in open ground, the temperature of the top layer of soil should be 16-18 degrees. Closer to June the level should be lowered to 15 degrees
The optimal air humidity for a greenhouse is 80%; it must be maintained to protect the soil from drying out. When growing cucumbers in a greenhouse, the soil must be constantly moist, so you need to water it more often with warm water (especially during the growing season), preferably in the first half of the day. Ideally, it is worth watering for rooting seedlings - 3 times a week, for the formation of flowers - once every 4 days, pouring 2.5 liters of water under each bush, for the formation of ovaries - 2-3 times a week (up to 9 liters of water for 2-3 bushes).
Loosening the soil
To ensure access of oxygen to the roots of plants, it is important to loosen the soil under the bushes before and after watering. This will help prevent root rot, absorb nutrients, and normalize breathing
Advice. You need to loosen the soil carefully, to a depth of 7-8 cm.
It is also worth mulching it to avoid evaporation of moisture from the soil and the formation of a crust on the soil surface, and adding humus (peat) to preserve heat when planting cucumbers in the winter.
Top dressing
Foliar feeding of cucumbers (potassium chloride, ammonium nitrate, mullein, manganese sulfate, double superphosphate, urea, boric acid) should be done regularly, 5-6 times per season. Inorganic and organic components are added during watering or the lower surface of the leaves is sprayed with solutions.
Hilling is carried out after gartering immature young seedlings to stimulate the growth of the root system.
Pruning is carried out as the 4th lower leaf grows. The excess ones are removed along with the shoots from the axils, the side shoots above the 7th internode are thinned out in order to avoid a decrease in yield due to the large number of branches.
Reference! It is better to water cucumbers from a watering can, so as not to accidentally damage the delicate roots and stems with water pressure. You can lightly refresh wilting leaves by spraying warm water from a hose.
If there is excessive humidity in the greenhouse, it is necessary to ventilate after each watering.
Security measures
Rescuer belongs to low-hazard substances (hazard class 4). But before dilution and use, you must wear gloves, a respirator, work clothes and closed shoes.
It is prohibited to smoke, drink or eat anything while working. After finishing processing the plants, be sure to thoroughly wash your hands and wash your face.
In case of contact with the skin and mucous membranes, the solution is washed off with plenty of water. If liquid gets into the stomach, you must immediately rinse it, eat several tablets of activated carbon and immediately go to the nearest medical center.
Danger of cucumber diseases
Cucumbers most often get sick during the period of planting seedlings or growing (ovaries) of fruits in a greenhouse. The difficulty is that it is almost impossible to completely eliminate a virus or fungus. Sometimes the affected plants have to be urgently disposed of, and the tools (equipment) used must be disinfected in order to avoid massive contamination of the leaves, fruits and seeds of cucumbers, even to the point of complete death.
The most common diseases of cucumbers and what they lead to:
- Anthracnose with the appearance of white spots on the leaves, leading to a slowdown in the movement of nutrients along the stems and shoots, drying out and death.
- Powdery mildew occurs when rashes appear on the leaves of cucumbers in the form of white flour, leading to drying out and death of seedlings.
- Brown spotting affects fruits, which are no longer recommended for consumption.
- Gray rot, which causes slimy spots on the stems of cucumbers, provokes rot and death.
- An ordinary mosaic with the appearance of light green spots on the leaves. The result is the falling of the ovaries, fading and curling of the leaves, cessation of growth and death of seedlings.
- Fusarium, causing rot infection of the upper part of the plant, moves down to the roots, ultimately causing the death of the plants.
- Cucumber necrosis with the formation of spots on the leaves, lack of flowering and plant growth.
- Bacteriosis is a contagious disease that leads to damage to fruits, shoots, and leaves. If infected, cucumbers may be left completely without ovaries during the flowering period.
- Blackleg, causing damage to the root system, leaf lethargy, and death of bushes.
Knowing how to treat cucumber seedlings, these problems can be avoided.
Action of the medicine
The drug can be used for various types of violations of the integrity of the skin, as well as for a number of dermatological diseases. The fatty base of the cream is created in order to retain all active ingredients inside the epidermis and dermis and prevent them from evaporating.
Thanks to oils, the drug helps protect the skin from the sun, wind, and other adverse environmental factors.
The rescuer has a powerful antiseptic effect, which is achieved by the presence of a number of vegetable oils and naftalan oil - a product originally from the resort town of Naftalan in the Caucasus
. In addition to disinfecting the skin, this component also resolves hematomas and bruises, relieves pain in soft tissues and joints, relieves hypersensitivity reactions, and reduces the manifestations of skin allergies.
Calendula is very beneficial for the skin - it is especially worth using for those who suffer from acne, oily, porous facial skin. This component in the cream also helps relieve redness and irritation. Vitamins in the cream provide:
