Detailed Explanation of Key Points for Using Bacterial Biological Insecticides
Bacterial biological insecticides have advantages such as high insecticidal rate, no environmental pollution, safety to natural enemies, harmlessness to humans and livestock, and not inducing pest resistance. They are a new type of protective pesticide currently promoted for use in pollution-free cultivation. Because their control effect mainly depends on the bacterial activity in the pesticide, the following points need to be kept in mind during use...

What are the scientific methods for using bacterial biological insecticides?
From rice sowing to the seedling stage, farmers should focus on controlling seed-borne diseases (bakanae disease, rice blast at the seedling stage, white-tip nematode disease, etc.), the small brown planthopper, and the first-generation stem borers. At the rice booting stage, the focus should be on controlling pests and diseases such as the rice planthopper, rice leaf roller, stem borers, ear blast, and rice false smut. At the rice ear stage, the rice planthopper is the main target, along with...

What are the key points to note when using foliar fertilizer on tomatoes?
When using foliar fertilizer on tomatoes, note the following points: 1. Determine the type of nutrient according to the growth status of the tomatoes. Generally speaking, in the early fruiting stage the plants grow vigorously and are prone to excessive vegetative growth, so foliar nutrients that promote stem and leaf growth should be used sparingly, and potassium dihydrogen phosphate, compound fertilizer, etc. can be chosen. In the peak fruiting stage the plant growth...

I. 2,4-D butyl ester. (1) Causes of phytotoxicity. Applying the herbicide too late, at too high a dose, or unevenly can cause phytotoxicity. (2) Symptoms of phytotoxicity. When the herbicide is applied to the soil, the young shoots bend and the young roots grow upward, then later return to normal. When the herbicide is applied to stems and leaves, the stems become twisted, the leaves become narrower, ...
