Description of the drug Batrider
Batrider, SK is an insecticide designed to protect plants from a complex of pests:

Composition and forms of release
Batrider is a chemical insecticide. Produced in the form of a suspension concentrate. Packed in plastic bottles of different volumes, for example, 10 ml.
The manufacturer and registrant of the product is the company “August” (Moscow, Our Country). The composition includes three active ingredients at once:
- imidacloprid (at a concentration of 100 g per 1 liter of concentrate);
- alpha-cypermethrin (125 g per 1 l);
- clothianidin (50 g per 1 l).
Principle of operation
The active substances of Batrider insecticide belong to the chemical class of neonicotinoids (clothianidin and imidacloprid) and pyrethroids (alpha-cypermethrin). The former inhibit the action of the acetylcholinesterase enzyme, disrupt sodium metabolism, which leads to nervous overexcitation against the background of impaired impulse transmission. As a result, the insects die.
Pyrethroids also disrupt the metabolic processes of sodium, the membranes of pest cells. As a result, the concentration of acetylcholine increases critically, which leads to mass death.
The insecticide is one of the unique preparations based on three active ingredients at once.
According to the method of penetration, Batrider belongs to the following classes of pesticides:
- Intestinal – penetrates along with the juice of the eaten plant.
- Contact – in direct contact with the integument of the body.
- Systemic – penetrates into the tissues of the plant, moves through the vessels, from where it enters the body of the pest.
The death of insects is observed already in the first hours after treatment with Batrider. Moreover, the protective effect lasts for at least 14 days. After another 1-2 weeks, re-spraying may be required (if a strong invasion is observed). The waiting time is quite long – 20-30 days. It is better to start harvesting one month after the last treatment.
