According to the obtained data, the yield of corn in the control was 4.1 t/ha on average, while after treatment with the studied drugs it was 5.0-5.8 t/ha. When analyzing the soil for the presence of larvae of the western corn beetle, we did not find any larvae at all application rates. Damage to the root system was also absent. The use of these preparations provided a significant development of the root system, which in turn increased the resistance of the root system. The obtained research results prove the prospects of combating the western corn beetle with the help of the proposed drugs. Product Description popup.authors popup.nrat_date 2023-12-18 Close
