For its control, when the cucumber is in the pesticide, that is, when it starts to flower (5% to 10% flower), farmers should be sprayed by mixing 2ML of imidacloprid 17.8 SL in water per liter. Spraying at this time does not harm the farm. But, when the fruit starts to fall, any kind of pesticides should not be used, as it can be very harmful to human health.
The effect of pesticides lasts up to 7 days
If the pesticides are outbreaking in the cultivation of cucumber after the fruit, the farmers use thomethoxum. The effect of this drug lasts for 5 to 7 days on agriculture, while the effect of immedooperid remains for 5 days. Therefore, if these drugs have been sprayed, the cucumber should not be harvested immediately.
