To get rid of pests, no later than 3 weeks before digging up the tubers, treat your beds with a solution of 3 liters of water with 2 milliliters of the product dissolved in liquid.

"Shar Pei" makes Colorado beetles die within 24 hours after application. Add 2 milliliters of the preparation to 1 liter of water, stir, dilute with water in a ratio of 1:5, and treat the bushes.

By treating the beds with "Tanrek", you can forget about the potato pest for at least 2 weeks. 1 ml of the preparation is enough for 5 liters of water.
